Finally, in 1918, the Habsburg Imperium collapsed in the wake of World War I. The empire was divided into a number of smaller states, and the Habsburg dynasty was forced to abdicate. Despite its demise, the Habsburg Imperium left a lasting legacy on Europe, both in terms of its political and cultural contributions.
