Austria-Hungary wasn't renamed Austria. It was split up into a number of different countries, including Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Roumania and Bulgaria.

Roumania and Bulgaria had become independent from the Ottoman Empire; I think you mean Czechoslovakia, and other bits that went to Italy and the new Poland. Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina joined Serbia and Montenegro in the new Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). Roumania did acquire Transylvania from Hungary, though. Austria became a republic, while Hungary technically remained a monarchy under the Regency of Admiral Horthy (apart from the very short-lived communist regime). (Hungarian admiral??? Yes. Hungary, like Austria was vastly bigger than it is now. It had a coastline on the Mediterranean in Croatia.)
