I think its totally interesting to have a look ath the maps I posted. Especially the peoples of Austria-Hungary map:

If you find a modern map showing the current location of the different peoples you can see that there have moved worlds.

IMHO it was simply not possible to cut out real nation states out of the empire without leaving either huge minorities back, or ethnic cleansing (expellation under inhuman conditions without any compensation). In the end you can observe that both things happened.
