Question

Accepted Answer

## Model Answer Three ethnic or linguistic groups within the Habsburg Empire were: 1. **Germans** – The aristocracy of Bohemia and the Alpine regions were predominantly German-speaking. 2. **Magyars** – Half the population of Hungary spoke Magyar. 3. **Poles** – The aristocracy of Galicia spoke Polish. Other groups included Bohemians, Slovaks, Slovenes, Croats, and Roumanians. *Source: Chapter 1 – The Making of Nationalism in Europe, Section 2* --- ## Explanation The examiner expects you to name any **three** groups from the list given in the passage — Germans, Magyars, Poles, Bohemians, Slovaks, Slovenes, Croats, Roumanians, or Italian-speakers (Lombardy/Venetia). You don't need to name all of them; pick three and briefly identify them. A one-line identification for each group is enough for 2 marks. Avoid writing long descriptions.
