The Compromise partially re-established the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hungary, separate from, and no longer subject to the Austrian Empire. Hungarian political leaders had two main goals during the negotiations. One was to regain the traditional status ( both legal and political ) of the Hungarian state, which was lost after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. The other was to restore the reform laws of the revolutionary parliament of 1848, which were based on the 12 points that established modern civil and political rights, economic and societal reforms in Hungary. According to Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, `` There were three of us who made the agreement : Deák, Andrássy and myself. '' Under the Compromise, the lands of the House of Habsburg were reorganized as a real union between the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. The Cisleithanian ( Austrian ) and Transleithanian ( Hungarian ) regions were governed by separate parliaments and prime ministers. Unity was maintained by the rule of a single head of state, reigning as both Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, and common ministries of foreign affairs, defence and finance under his direct authority. The armed forces were combined, with the Emperor - King as commander - in - chief. The names conventionally used for the two realms were derived from the river Leitha, or Lajta, a tributary of the Danube and the traditional border between Austrian and Magyar lands. The Leitha did not, however, form the entire border and was not part of the border for its whole course : Cis - and Trans - were used by custom, rather than geographical accuracy.

In 1526, Hungary was defeated and partially conquered by the Ottoman Empire. King Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia had no legitimate heir and died young in the Battle of Mohács. Louis II 's brother - in - law, Ferdinand I of Habsburg was elected King of Hungary by a rump Parliament in Pozsony in December 1526. The Ottomans were subsequently driven out of Hungary in 1699. From 1526 to 1804, Hungary was ruled by the Habsburg kings, but remained nominally and legally separate from the other lands of the Habsburg Monarchy. In 1804, Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor, who was also ruler of the lands of the Habsburg Monarchy, founded the Empire of Austria in which all his lands were included. In doing so he created a formal overarching structure for the Habsburg Monarchy, which had functioned as a composite monarchy for about 300 years. Until the 1848 revolution, the workings of the overarching structure and the status of Hungary stayed much the same as they had been before 1804. The Kingdom of Hungary had always been considered a separate realm, the country 's status was affirmed by Article X, which was added to Hungary 's constitution in 1790 during the phase of the composite monarchy ; it described the state as a Regnum Independens. Hungary 's affairs continued to be administered by its own institutions ( King and Diet ) as they had been previously. Thus, under the new arrangements, no imperial institutions were involved in its internal government. The Holy Roman Empire was abolished in 1806. The administration and the structures of central government of Kingdom of Hungary remained separated from the Austrian administration and Austrian government until the 1848 revolution. Hungary, was governed, to a greater degree by the Council of Lieutenancy of Hungary ( the Gubernium ) in Pressburg ( Pozsony ) and, to a lesser extent, by the Hungarian Royal Court Chancellery in Vienna, independent of the Imperial Chancellery of Austria While in most Western European countries ( like France and England ) the king 's reign began immediately upon the death of his predecessor, in Hungary the coronation was absolutely indispensable as if it were not properly executed, the Kingdom stayed `` orphaned ''. Even during the long personal union between Kingdom of Hungary and other Habsburg ruled areas, the Habsburg monarchs had to be crowned as King of Hungary in order to promulgate laws there or exercise his royal prerogatives in the territory of Kingdom of Hungary. Since the Golden Bull of 1222, all Hungarian monarchs had to take a coronation oath during the coronation procedure, where the new monarchs had to agree to uphold the constitutional arrangement of the country, to preserve the liberties of his subjects and the territorial integrity of the realm. From 1526 to 1851, the Kingdom of Hungary maintained its own customs borders, which separated Hungary from the united customs system of other Habsburg ruled territories. The Hungarian legal system and judicial system remained separated and independent from the unified legal and judicial systems of the other Habsburg ruled areas. 1849 -- 1867 Further information : Hungarian Revolution of 1848, March Constitution of Austria, and Passive Resistance ( Hungary ) In the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1848, the Magyars came close to regaining independence and were defeated by the Austrian Empire only by the military intervention of the Russian Empire. After the restoration of Habsburg power, Hungary was placed under martial law. Prime Minister Prince Felix of Schwarzenberg and his government, operating from November 1848, pursued a radically new imperial policy. It wanted to develop a uniform empire in the spirit of the imperial constitution issued by Franz Joseph I in Olmütz on 4 March 1849, and as a result, Hungary 's constitution and territorial integrity were abolished. The centralist March Constitution of Austria introduced the neo-absolutism in Habsburg ruled territories, and it provided absolute power for the monarch. The Austrian constitution was accepted by the Imperial Diet of Austria, in which Hungary had no representation and traditionally had no legislative power in the territory of Kingdom of Hungary ; still, it also tried to abolish the Diet of Hungary, which existed as the legislative power in Hungary since the late 12th century. The new Austrian constitution also went against the historical constitution of Hungary and tried to nullify it. A military dictatorship was created in Hungary. Every aspect of Hungarian life was put under close scrutiny and governmental control. German became the official language of public administration. An edict issued on 9 October 1849 placed education under state control, the curriculum was prescribed and controlled by the state, the teaching of national history was restricted and history was taught from a Habsburg viewpoint. Even the bastion of Hungarian culture, the Academy, was kept under control : the institution was staffed with foreigners, mostly Germans, and the institution was practically defunct until the end of 1858. Hungarians responded with passive resistance. Anti-Habsburg and anti-German sentiments were strong. In the following years, the empire instituted several reforms but failed to resolve problems. After the Hungarian revolution of 1848 -- 49, the independent customs system of Hungary was abolished, and Hungary became part of the unified imperial customs system on 1 October 1851. Adoption In 1866, Austria was completely defeated in the Austro - Prussian War. Its position as the leading state of Germany ended, and the remaining German minor states were soon absorbed into the German Empire, created by Prussia. Austria also lost much of its remaining claims and influence in Italy, which had been its chief foreign policy interest. After a period of Greater German ambitions, when Austria tried to establish itself as the leading German power, Austria again needed to redefine itself to maintain unity in the face of nationalism. As a consequence of the Second Italian War of Independence and the Austro - Prussian War, the Habsburg Empire was on the verge of collapse in 1866, as the wars caused monumental state debt and a financial crisis. The Habsburgs were forced to reconcile with Hungary to save their empire and dynasty. The Habsburgs and part of the Hungarian political elite arranged the Austro - Hungarian Compromise of 1867, but the overwhelming majority of the populace wanted full independence. Hungarian statesman Ferenc Deák is considered the intellectual force behind the Compromise. Deák initially wanted independence for Hungary and supported the 1848 Revolution, but he broke with hardline nationalists and advocated a modified union under the Habsburgs. Deák believed that while Hungary had the right to full internal independence, questions of defence and foreign affairs were `` common '' to both Austria and Hungary, under the Pragmatic Sanction of 1723. He also felt that Hungary benefited from continued union with wealthier, more industrialized Austria and that the Compromise would end the continual pressures on Austria to choose between the Magyars and the Slavs of the Kingdom of Hungary. Imperial Chancellor Beust quickly negotiated the Compromise with the Hungarian leaders. Beust was particularly eager to renew the conflict with Prussia and thought a quick settlement with Hungary would make that possible. Franz Joseph and Deák signed the Compromise, and it was ratified by the restored Diet of Hungary on 29 May 1867. The Compromise was negotiated and legitimised by only a very small part of Hungarian society ( suffrage was very limited : less than 8 percent of the population had voting rights ), and was seen by a very large part of the population as a betrayal of the Hungarian cause and the heritage of the 1848 - 49 War of Independence. The Compromise was very unpopular and the government resorted to force to suppress civil dissent. The Compromise caused deep and lasting schisms in Hungarian society. Beust 's revenge against Prussia did not materialize. When, in 1870, Beust wanted Austria - Hungary to support France against Prussia, Hungarian Prime Minister Gyula Andrássy was `` vigorously opposed '' and effectively vetoed Austrian intervention. The settlement with Hungary consisted then of three parts : the political settlement, which was to be permanent and would remain part of the fundamental constitution of the monarchy ; the periodical financial settlement, determining the partition of the common expenses as arranged by the Quota - Deputations and ratified by the parliaments and the Customs Union and the agreement on currency, a voluntary, reversible arrangement between the two governments and parliaments. Terms Under the Compromise : The Hungarian parliament was re-established ( which was the legislative power in Hungary since the 12th century ), thus Austria and Hungary had separate parliaments again. Each region had its own government, headed by its own prime minister. The `` dual monarchy '' consisted of the emperor - king, and the common ministers of foreign affairs, defence, and a finance ministry only for the army, navy and diplomatic expenditures. The Hungarian legal system and Hungarians laws were restored in the territory of Kingdom of Hungary ; the traditionally independent and separate judicial systems of Hungary were re-established. Austria - Hungary, as a common entity, had no jurisdiction and legislative power, which was shaped by the fact that there was no common parliament. The common diplomatic and military affairs were managed by delegations from the Imperial Council and the Hungarian parliament. The delegations had 60 members from the Imperial Council, and 60 members from the Hungarian parliament, and the ratios of various political fractions exactly and proportionally mirrored their own political parties of their parliaments. The members of the delegates from the two parliaments had no right to debate or introduce new ideas during the meetings, and they were nothing more than the extended arms of their own parliaments. All decisions had to be ratified by the Austrian and Hungarian parliaments to be valid. A common Ministry of Foreign Affairs was created, responsible for diplomacy and foreign policy. There was no common citizenship in Austria - Hungary : one was either an Austrian citizen or a Hungarian citizen, never both. Austria - Hungary used two separate passports : the Austrian passport and the Hungarian one. There was no common passport. A common finance ministry was founded, only for the expenditures of the army, the navy and the diplomatic service and for the issue of banknotes. It was headed by the Common Finance Minister. All other expenditures belonged to the Austrian Finance Ministry in the Austrian Empire and the Hungarian Finance Ministry in the Kingdom of Hungary. The Austrian finance minister was subordinated only to the Minister - President of Austria in Austrian Empire, and the Hungarian Finance Minister was subordinated only to the Prime Minister of Hungary. The monetary and economic terms of the Compromise and the customs union had to be renegotiated every ten years. Despite Austria and Hungary sharing a common currency, they were fiscally sovereign and independent entities. International commercial treaties were conducted independently by Austria and Hungary. The Royal Hungarian Honvéd was restored, and the Imperial - Royal Landwehr was created, but both states had to continue to finance the Common Army, much larger than both. A common Austro - Hungarian War Ministry was formed immediately for the large Common Army, but it had no right to command directly the smaller Landwehr and the Honvéd armies, which were respectively placed under the direct control of the separate Austrian and Hungarian Ministries of Defence. The Austrian and Hungarian Ministers of Defence were not placed under the command and jurisdiction of the Common War Ministry ; they were subordinated only to their own prime ministers and the respective parliaments in Vienna and Budapest. Hungary took on a large part of the towering Austrian state debt. The King became the supreme warlord, holding all authority over the structure, organization, and administration of the army. He appointed the senior officials, had the right to declare war, and was the commander - in - chief of the army. He had the right to declare a state of emergency. He had the right of preliminary royal assent to every bill the Cabinet Council wanted to report to the National Assembly. He had the right to veto any law passed by the National Assembly. He had the right to dissolve the National Assembly. He had the right to appoint and dismiss the members of the Cabinet Council. This meant a great reduction in Hungarian sovereignty and autonomy, even in comparison with the pre-1848 status quo. Continuing pressures The resulting system was maintained until the dissolution of the dual monarchy after World War I. The favoritism shown to the Magyars, the second largest ethnic group in the dual monarchy after the Germans, caused discontent on the part of other ethnic groups like the Slovaks and Romanians. Although a `` Nationalities Law '' was enacted to preserve the rights of ethnic minorities, the two parliaments took very different approaches to this issue. The basic problem in the later years was that the Compromise with Hungary only encouraged the appetites of non-Hungarian minorities in Hungary that were historically within the boundaries of the Hungarian Kingdom. The majority of Hungarians felt they had accepted the Compromise only under coercion. The Austrian Emperor, separately crowned King of Hungary, had to swear in his coronation oath not to revise or diminish the historic imperial ( Hungarian ) domains of the Hungarian nobility, magnates, and upper classes. The Hungarians, having been given self - rule and a separate status, only partially acquiesced to granting `` their '' minorities recognition and local autonomy. In the Kingdom of Hungary, several ethnic minorities faced increased pressures of Magyarization. Further, the renegotiations that occurred every ten years often led to constitutional crises. Ultimately, although the Compromise hoped to fix the problems faced by a multi-national state while maintaining the benefits of a large state, the new system still faced the same internal pressures as the old. To what extent the dual monarchy stabilized the country in the face of national awakenings and to what extent it alleviated, or aggravated, the situation are debated even today. In a letter of February 1, 1913, to Foreign Minister Berchtold, Archduke Franz Ferdinand said that `` irredentism in our country... will cease immediately if our Slavs are given a comfortable, fair and good life '' instead of being trampled on ( as they were being trampled on by the Hungarians ).

( November 2013 ) With the political agenda dominated by the imminent defeat in World War I in the middle of October 1918, the Hungarian government, with the agreement of King Charles IV of Hungary, who was also Emperor Charles I of Austria, gave notice of termination. The Compromise was formally terminated on 31 October 1918, ending the Chrysanthemum Revolution. Shared institutions, such as the Council of Ministers, remained formally in force until 2 November 1918, but for all practical purposes, power had devolved from Budapest to the various emerging nationally - based regions that would form the basis for the redrawing of the map of Central Europe at the Paris Peace Conference, which formally began its work early in 1919.
