Austro-Hungarian peace negotiations
The Austro-Hungarian peace negotiations primarily occurred during and after World War I, as the Austro-Hungarian Empire sought to address its military and political challenges. The negotiations involved discussions with other nations, including the Allies, to determine terms for ending hostilities and managing territorial disputes. Key themes included reparations, border adjustments, and the fate of various ethnic groups within the empire. Ultimately, the negotiations failed to maintain the integrity of the Empire, contributing to its dissolution in 1918, leading to the establishment of new nations in Central and Eastern Europe based on self-determination principles.
