In World War I, it was known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not the Austrian Empire, since Austria and Hungary were under united crowns. It was fairly powerful, although it collapsed more quickly than the German Empire due to successionist movements within it. In WWII, Austria was invaded by Nazi Germany, but contributed little to the war overall. In the 19th century the Austrian Empire was one of the more powerful powers in Europe, although unfortunately they lost the Austro-Prussian War.
