This French school map of 1905 depicts the Austro-Hungarian Empire a few years before its collapse in the First World War. It highlights the dual monarchy with distinct colours for the Austrian and Hungarian territories, including Bohemia, Galicia, Croatia-Slavonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Transylvania. The attention to the railway and river network, in particular the Danube, reflects the educational interest in communication routes and in the economic integration of a multinational empire. Small inset maps show the areas of Vienna and Budapest and the empire's position in Europe, underlining Austria-Hungary's role as a bridge between the Germanic, Slavic and Balkan worlds.
