The Austro-Hungarian Empire Dissolves

•Following the advice of Metternich, the Austrian Empire led by the Hapsburgs was trying to stop the spread of nationalism. There were no efforts at industrialization and any actions made towards autonomy (self rule) were put down. The real issue in the empire was the diverse population [TOO MANY] of people located in the area known as the Balkans.

•Power was controlled by the German-speaking inhabitants of the Austrian Empire, but that group only made up about a quarter of the population.

•Slavic peoples including Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Ukrainians, Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes made up about half the population.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire Dissolves

•Some reforms were attempted by Franz Josef, but it only seemed to add to the problem.

•The Austrian Empire was redesigned as the Dual Monarchy, also known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

•Austria and Hungary had separate governments and constitutions but Josef remained as leader of both. This satisfied some but not all. The various Slavic groups remained unrepresented in the government.

• Turkey (Ottoman Empire) ruled most of the Balkans at the start of this century.

• This part of Europe was called “’the sick’ or ‘dying man’ of Europe” because it was so weak.

• All the major surrounding power wanted to increase their influence in the area were looking for an opportunity to take the Balkans.

• Russia - ports (warm water) on the Mediterranean.• Austria-Hungary – ports on the Mediterranean and

crush the rebellious Slavs.• Germany – A Berlin to Baghdad Railway• Italy – Land on the other side of Adriatic.

"Once Brothers" •Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac were two friends who grew up together sharing the

common bond of basketball. Together, they lifted the Yugoslavian National team to unimaginable heights.

After conquering Europe, they both went to America where they became the first two foreign players to attain NBA stardom.

But with the fall of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day 1991, Yugoslavia split up. A war

broke out between Petrovic's Croatia and Divac's Serbia. Long buried ethnic tensions surfaced. And these two men, once brothers, were now on opposite sides of a deadly civil war.

As Petrovic and Divac continued to face each other on the basketball courts of the NBA, no words passed between the two. Then, on the fateful night of June 7, 1993, Drazen Petrovic was killed in an auto accident.

"Once Brothers" will tell the gripping tale of these two men, how circumstances beyond

their control tore apart their friendship, and whether Divac has ever come to terms with the death of a friend before they had a chance to reconcile.
