After World War I, former Ottoman territories, primarily in the Middle East, were often divided into mandates controlled by Western powers, leading to significant geopolitical realignments and the establishment of new nation-states. In contrast, former Austro-Hungarian territories in Central and Eastern Europe experienced a shift towards nationalism, resulting in the emergence of multiple independent nations such as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.

Overall, the legacies of these empires influenced the political and social landscapes of their respective regions quite differently.
