Austria-Hungary

Austria-Hungary
Austrian Emperor Francis Joseph agreed in 1867 to allow Hungary to become a separate state; it was given its own constitution and nearly independent status. The empire was known as Austria-Hungary and popularly referred to as the dual monarchy. It lasted until the end of World War I, when both Austria and Hungary declared themselves independent republics.
