Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Habsburg Empire was large, encompassing much of central and eastern Europe, but it was also divided by various ethnic and linguistic groups. This made it difficult for the empire to maintain unity and stability, and ultimately contributed to its decline in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While the empire did have periods of centralization under certain rulers, overall it was not strongly centralized. The empire did not disappear by 1700, but continued to exist until the end of World War I in 1918.
