Austria and Hungary
Intimately tied to the Holy Roman Empire, and later Germany, the Austrian Empire grew in power and importance, before Hungarian nationalism forced the creation of a dual Austro-Hungarian monarchy in 1867. This collapsed in 1918, at which point the Czech and Slovak peoples declared their united independence.

Written by Austria Cafe, this is brief narrative of Austrian history illustrated by what i think are stamps.
Lonely Planet’s lively, and often wry, narrative of Austrian History makes an excellent contrast to encyclopedia style entries; however, you probably shouldn’t quote it in any assessed work!
