Which event is considered the primary cause for the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires?

💡 Explanation:

The end of World War I (1914–1918) directly led to the collapse and subsequent dissolution of several multinational empires, including the Austro-Hungarian Empire (broken into new nation-states) and the Ottoman Empire (replaced by the Republic of Turkey and various mandate territories). The war’s outcome fundamentally restructured the political map of Central Europe and the Middle East.
