Player nickname: Mini Player LJ:misheard Way to contact you: Email, AIM, Plurk Email: nealuchi@gmail.com AIM: ryudojitemple Other: Plurk: Misheard Are you at least 15?: Y. Current Characters: Issei Ryudo, Naesala, Peter Kirkland [Sealand], Sherry Birkin, and Nessiah.
Character: Roderich Edelstein [Austria] Fandom: Axis Powers Hetalia Character Notes: History: So in 976, Otto II took over some land and called it marcha orientalis. Later it became known as Austria. He gave it to the Babenburg family to rule. Austria became a duchy in 1156. Theeeen the Babenburgs got killed and a bunch of people fought over Austria, with a Habsburg ending the winner.
The Habsburgs expanded territory, and - look, I know this is boring, I'll try to summarize as best as I can. Austria lived in the Holy Roman Empire's house with Italy and Hungary. It did a lot of pro-Catholic warfare, and ended up weaker because of all the work it went through.
When Maria Theresa came to the throne (actual comic canon-things-they-talked-about alert!) Prussia invaded Silesia. Insert War of Austrian Succession, where England was a dick and didn't want to actually help that much. More wars.
Austria is a loser re: the battlefield sometimes. (See 1787, Ottoman Empire.)
Blah blah blah, war with France... Police state 1815-1848, revolution, resignations of people in charge. 1867: war with Prussia again made Austria weak enough that Franz Joseph had to concede something to Hungarian nationalists. So instead of Hungary being just a part of the Austrian empire, the two parts would be separate, differently treated areas.
In comic canon, Austria-Hungary is Austria and Hungary getting married.
Same year, Austria got a constitution. Lots of industry, industry, industry - oh hey, Franz Ferdinand just got assassinated. World War One, woops!
I assume you know that Austria-Hungary lost WWI and got broken up. Austria wanted to become part of Germany because it was tiny, but France and Italy told it to STFU. It did get off easy in other areas, though: too poor to pay reparations.
Christian Social Party was basically in charge, and they tended towards fascism. There was a civil war in Austria which wiped out the socialist party almost completely. Then Austria got rid of freedom of the press and made a one party system. Then a bunch of people who were ticking pro-Hitlerites off got assassinated, and Germany occupied Austria.
Austria didn't really mind. According to comic canon, he was pretty irritating to live with.
Lost that war too. Split into sections for the Allies to administer, but a lot of the old, non-Nazi politicians were coming back and the Allies treated it well. In 1955 they proclaimed everlasting neutrality in their constitution.
Blah blah blah, European Union, blah blah blah, modern day.
