Hey, thanks for the good work here, really dig into this topic! I wonder why the Austrians didn’t try to germanize her empire during its hundreds of years rule? What was their policy toward all those then minorities people within the Austrian empire before it finally collapsed? Why the Austrians didn’t want to be the true leader of a unified Germany, I mean they are ethnic German after all, right? Hope we got a video for that in the future!
