Common and Difference Between Italy and Austria-Hungary in the 19th Century.

General:

Both countries belonged to the second echelon of Europe and were not the leaders in the world. Austria-Hungary and Italy were far from the level of development of the United States, Great Britain and Germany.
The territory was unevenly developed. Italy had an agrarian south and a relatively industrial north, which, like many European countries, experienced a railroad boom in the 1850s. In Austria-Hungary, the most developed parts were Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, part of Hungary, and the backward regions were Bukovina and Bosnia.
Weak armies. The Italians managed to be defeated even in Ethiopia.
Weak fleet.
Both countries experienced revolutions in 1848 and capture by Napoleon at the beginning of the century.
Power in the first half of the 19th century was generally conservative.

Differences:

Austria had no colonies at all, but Italy was still able to capture part of Somalia and Eritrea.
Italy was multinational, and Austria was multinational (Slavs, Jews, Germans, Hungarians).
In Italy there was a monarchy, and in Austria-Hungary – a dualistic monarchy, unique for Europe, with two centers of power.
A unified state appeared late in Italy, Rome was annexed only in 1870. For most of the 19th century, the issue of the national liberation movement was topical for her.
