Before the outbreak of the First World War, Austria was much more troubled than Russia's internal and external difficulties, and a first-class power in diplomatic etiquette could not even hold Serbia, and it was all around waiting for its own death

Before the outbreak of World War I, Austria was much more in dire straits than Russia's internal and external difficulties, a first-class power in diplomatic etiquette could not even hold Serbia, surrounded by hyenas waiting for their own death to get a piece of the pie: Serbia stared at Bosnia and Dalmatia, Italy stared at Tyrol, Romania stared at Transylvania, Hungary itself wanted independence, Russia already occupied most of Poland, but if Austria-Hungary had difficulties, he would not mind eating another piece of Galicia. And the Habsburgs, which had led the whole of Germany for hundreds of years, became a small heel of Hohenzollern, and the taste of this feng shui rotation made Franz very uncomfortable.

In fact... The power gap between Russia and Austria-Hungary may be even greater than the power gap between Austria-Hungary and Serbia... The performance of Austria-Hungary in World War I is really difficult to say... There were few victories against Russia, repeated defeats, and one was more and more miserable; the Battle of Galicia and the Brusilov Offensive caused Austria-Hungary to lose 400,000-450,000 and at least 600,000 or more, respectively, and destroyed and destroyed the main Austro-Hungarian forces respectively... The life of Serbia went from crushing to stalemate on the Danube Sava River, and finally relying on German reinforcements and Bulgarian backstabbing; after brusilov's offensive, the main Austro-Hungarian army ceased to exist and was almost reduced to waste, romania depended on Germany and Bulgaria to help, Italy had to rely on German support for seven of the 15 divisions...

Although the pre-Austro-Hungarian pre-war paper data is very good, the industrial output of the world accounts for 4.4 percent, not much lower than Russia (Russia accounts for 8.1 percent of the world's fourth), and some aspects are stronger than Russia, but in the year before the war, there were two or five boys selling intelligence to Russia, which led to a fairly clear situation in Russia against Austria-Hungary; when the war began, it was found that nothing was enough/no/not ready, it turned out to be a paper tiger, in vain, the external strength was in the middle, and it was finished.
