Both Austria-Hungary and Germany feared Russia, the Ottoman Empire was also an old enemy of Russia. Also, Germany had been diplomatically isolated pre-WWI by contesting France's takeover of Morroco so that it could demand more colonial territory. Austria-Hungary was one of the few nations it could rely on, and so, although Austria-Hungary was highly aggressive in an unstable area (the Balkans), Germany felt it needed at least this powerful ally. Germany had also been heavily investing in the Ottoman Empire pre-WWI. The Ottoman Empire probably also was angry at Britain for forcing it to make Kuwait autnomous. Bulgaria came into the war after it had started, but it had for a long time desired Macedonia, then a part of Serbia, as part of its country. Bulgaria's royal lineage can also be traced back to the Germany during the time of the war.

The transformation of the Austrian Empire into Austria-Hungary dates from the 'Ausgleich' (usually tranlated as 'Compromise') of 1867.

In 1866 Austria suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of Prussia and was in effect expelled from Germany. There was a danger that the Hungarians, who had rebelled in 1848-49, might again rise in rebellion against Habsburg rule. (That said, negotiations for some kind of autonomy for Hungary had been in progress before the war of 1866).

This vast empire (the second largest state in Europe - after Russia) disintegrated in 1918.

Maria Theresa was Archduchess of Austria, the first and only female ruler of Austria for the 650 years of Austrian history. She was the daughter of Charles II, Holy Roman Emperor, whose only son died in 1716 when he was just a baby. Maria Theresa, being a woman, could not succeed to the imperial throne of the Holy Roman Empire, but she succeeded to the royal thrones of Croatia, Dalmatia and Bohemia. She eventually became Holy Roman Empress, when she married Francis I, her father's succesor. She was the de facto ruler of the Holy Roman Empire. Francis I and Maria Theresa had 16 children - their 15th child and youngest daughter was the famous Marie Antoinette.

Ever since the early 1820s nationalism had been a threat to the Austrian Empire's very existence - first German nationalism, then Italian nationalism, Hungarian, Czech, Polish, Croat, Serbian, Romanian nationalism. In the years before WW1 Austria-Hungary was particularly concerned about Slav nationalism, which it saw as a vehicle for Russian influence and interference. In 1878 during a key stage in the break-up of the Ottoman Empire (in Europe) Bosnia-Herzegovina had been made an Austrian protectorate. In 1908 it looked briefly as if Turkey might become democratic and respectable and demand the area back. In an attempt to forestall this, Austria annexed the area outright. This infuriated Serb nationalists as they regarded Bosnia-Herzegovina as Serbian, though their claims then, as now, were weak.
