WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Habsburg empire was a patchwork of many different regions and people. It included the Alpine region of Tyrol, Austria and Sudetenland-as well as Bohemia and Galicia and Italian regions of Lombardy and Venetia.

Detailed explanation-2: -As dukes, archdukes, and emperors, the Habsburgs ruled Austria from 1282 until 1918. They also controlled Hungary and Bohemia (1526–1918) and ruled Spain and the Spanish empire for almost two centuries (1504–06, 1516–1700).

Detailed explanation-3: -For most of the 18th century, for example, the Habsburgs ruled the Austrian Netherlands, an area covering much of modern Belgium and Luxembourg.
