Vienna is the capital and largest city of Austria and
one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's
primary city, with a population of about 1.8 million
(2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one
third of Austria's population), and its cultural,
economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest
city by population within city limits in the European
Union. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was
the largest German-speaking city in the world, and
before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in
World War I, the city had 2 million inhabitants.
