Merging

- The article certainly needs to be extended, but the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary were not the same. They are different with respect to the period in which they existed (Austrian Empire 1804-1867, Austria-Hungary 1867-1918), their constitution and, obviously, with respect to their official names.

- Fair enough; thanks for correcting me. :o) — OwenBlacker 16:55, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)
While we're at it, Emperor of Austria could probably be merged in here... --Shallot 11:08, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Well, I am not that sure. The Austrian Empire was transformed into the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in 1867. Thus, the Austrian Emperors remained their title and acted as sovereign in the Austrian part of the danube monarchy (which was officially known as The Kingdoms and Lands Represented in the Imperial Council and not as Austrian Empire anymore). The expression Austrian Empire officially ceased to exist. In my point of view Emperor of Austria and Austrian Empire do overlap to a certain degree with respect to time, but by far not completely. Therefore, I am against merging. Gugganij 13:43, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- We can explain that reasonably trivial difference in a single article, though. --Shallot 23:05, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Initially it was the Austrian Empire but with apparent success that Austrian Empire later became something much larger and thus its name changed to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In fact (as Gordon Brook-Shepherd documents in his Book "The Austrians"), at one point the Austrian Emperor was received as "The Emperor of Europe" by the British royal court. Hopefully these two distinct naming conventions can be harmoniously merged to grant the reader a good perspective on the Historical significance, and development of Central Europe over those centuries which perhaps has an even more significant impact today.

categories
For Joy: I agree that this article should be in categories of all countries, which were part of Austrian Empire. I just do not have time to put all categories here. At this moment I look for articles, which are relevant for categories: Vojvodina, Serbia and Serbian history. So, Joy, please, put categories of other countries into this article and I will put only those two again, because I do not have time to put all. Also, if you see that I put these categories into some other articles, please do the same thing: put there other categories of other countries instead of deleting those. User:PANONIAN
- Like I said, if you fill it up so that it's consistent, that's fine too. It merely looks weird if you just put it into Serbian categories, which are true but nevertheless fairly tangential compared to the whole lot. --Joy [shallot] 23:45, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
