In 1867, rising nationalism compelled Franz Josef, the Austrian Emperor, to establish the Austro-Hungarian Empire through the Austro-Hungarian Compromise. This agreement created a dual monarchy, granting Hungary considerable autonomy while maintaining a shared monarch and certain common institutions with Austria. The compromise aimed to quell nationalist tensions within the empire by accommodating Hungarian demands for self-governance, thereby stabilizing the multi-ethnic empire amidst growing nationalist movements.

Nationalism was important because it was the reason why World War 1 started. If the Serb terrorists had not killed Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand Austria would have never declared war on Serbia. The reason why the Serb terrorists who were members of the Black Hand killed Franz Ferdinand was because they did not like an Austrian ruler ruling a Serb country thus making an act of nationalism.

The original melody of "song of the Germans" was written by Joseph Haydn, in 1797. But it wasn`t a church song, it was an Austrian anthem to the roman-German emperor Franz II. (called "Kaiserhymne" - "the emperor`s anthem") with the title "Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser" (God save Franz, the emperor).So, that`s the answer you`re looking for: "Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser".
