Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Cession of Salzburg and the Illyrian Provinces to France and Bavaria
- Step 1: The punitive Treaty of Schönbrunn (1809) forced the Habsburg Empire to surrender Salzburg, Innviertel, and Adriatic territories (Illyrian Provinces), losing all direct access to the sea. Answer: Cession of Salzburg and the Illyrian Provinces to France and Bavaria. Why not the others: Complete incorporation of Vienna into the Confederation of the Rhine, Permanent surrender of Bohemia and Moravia to the Kingdom of Prussia and Annexation of the Austrian Vorarlberg region into the Swiss Confederation do not fit this historical event or context.
