So Austria had a sea coast along the Adriatic Sea (back of the "Boot of Italy") where now we have Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia Herzegovina [,and part of Montenegro?].
After WW1 Austria lost its ports on the Mediterranean, those went to Yugoslawia, it lost the industrial areas and coal mines, those went to Czechoslowakia and Poland and it lost its agricultural areas, those went to Hungary. Any questions why the administrative hydrocephalus in Vienna wasn't commercially viable any more, and why the Anschluß was considered a good idea by so many Austrians?
