Austria-Hungary Soldier

Austria-Hungary’s infantry served a multinational empire whose soldiers spoke many languages and came from widely differing regions. The Common Army, Austrian Landwehr, and Hungarian Honvéd had related but distinct organizations. During the First World War they fought on the Serbian, Russian, Italian, and other fronts. Losses, supply problems, and political strains grew as the war continued, ending with the breakup of the empire in 1918. Mountain conditions on the Italianfront and the broad spaces of the EasternFront imposed different practical demands. A single imperial identity therefore covered soldiers with markedly different wartime experiences. Ethnic and linguistic diversity added complexity to training and command.
