Best Answer

In the Habsburg Empire absolutism was restored after the unsuccessful Hungarian War of Independence (1849-49). However, Franis Joseph was forced to come to terms with his Magyars, because of military and financial problems in the Empire. The Compromise of 1867 transformed the Habsburg Empire into a dual monarchy. Francis Joseph was crowned King of Hungary (as well). Except for the common monarch, Austria-Hungary became separate states. They shared ministers of foreign affairs (see WWI)!), defence, and finance, but the other ministers were different for each state. There were also separate parliaments.

It benefited somehow to both countries: they became stronger. Austria had industrial strengths, while Hungary had agricultural strengths. However, they split after WWI.

Which four independent countries were formed out of the Austro-Hungarian empire?

Hungary split from the Empire just prior to the end of the war. Bohemia and Slovakia split off and merged to form "Czechoslovakia". Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia split off and joined with Serbia (a separate country at that time, as it is now) to form "Yugoslavia". The large remaining chunk became known as "German-Austria" and eventually just "Austria". So the answer is Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.


Why were people born in Slovenia and Croatia in the late 19th century sometimes said to have been born in Austria?

There was no "Slovenia" or "Croatia" at the time. Both lands were part of Habsburg (Austrian) Empire until 1878. From 1878 till 1918 Austria merged with Hungary to form Austria-Hungary. After WWI Austria-Hungary fell apart. Slovenia and Croatia enjoyed a really short independence, and then, together with Serbia formed SHS State. That one was quickly replaced by SHS Kingdom, and that one was later renamed to Kingdom of Jugoslavija. The time of Austria-Hungary was also the time when most people went to seek a better life in United States. Those immigrants were correct when stating they were from Austria.

What was Austria Hungary's form of government during World War ll?

Austria-Hungary had already ceased to exist as a nation some 20 years earlier, at the end of WW 1. But Austria was turned into a Reichsgau of Nazi Germany, run by a Gauleiter. The Gau (being a Medieval word dug up by the Nazis) is roughly comparable with the English and also Medieval word Shire which later became 'county'. So Austria had no Government of its own; it had become a German province.
