The Ausgleich refers to the Compromise of 1867 that established the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary. It created a dual structure where Austria and Hungary were two separate entities, each with its own government and parliament, but with a shared monarchy, army, and foreign policy. The Ausgleich aimed to address the demands of the Hungarian nobility for more autonomy within the Habsburg Empire.

He institutedthe Ausgleich (comprimise) that created a dual monarchy in Austria after the Habsburgs crushed a revolution. There were lots of minorities in Austria and the people were not getting what they wanted all the time. So Franz Joseph made the Ausgleich to try and give the people what they wanted. It let each part of the empire have its own constitution, legislature,capital (Vienna and Budapest), and government machinery. However, there would be one monarch, one foreign policy, one financial system,and one army. Sources: Western Civilizations by Jackson Speilvogel hope this helps!
The Austria-Hungarian Empire was formed through a combination of political pragmatism and nationalistic pressures. The Ausgleich (Compromise) of 1867 established a dual monarchy, allowing Austria and Hungary to coexist under a single sovereign while maintaining separate governments. This arrangement aimed to balance the diverse ethnic groups within the empire, as various nationalities sought autonomy and recognition. Additionally, the empire's expansionist policies and industrialization contributed to its complex socio-political landscape, influencing its formation and governance.
Austria-Hungary, also known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Dual Monarchy or the k.u.k Monarchy was a state in Central Europe ruled by the House of Habsburg, constitutionally a monarchic unionbetween the crowns of the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. The state was a result of the Ausgleich or Compromise of 1867, under which the Austrian Habsburgs agreed to share power with a separate Hungarian government, dividing the territory of the former Austrian Empire between them. The Dual Monarchy existed for 51 years until 1918, when it dissolved following military defeat in the First World War.
The Compromise of 1867 is also less commonly known as the Ausgleich. It was an agreement between the Germans of Austria-Bohemia and Kingdom of Hungary. The point of the agreement was reached with Austrian Count Beust, who acted as the chief negotiator between the two aforementioned groups. The agreement settled the question of who would be responsible for ruling the barbarian classes of Slavs. This European group of peoples were considered to be "in the way" of real civilizations and needed to be dealt with firmly and with no problems as to what "kingdom" was responsible for controlling their behavior. The agreement basically was a written document making each kingdom resposible for the Slavs within each of their European borders.
The term dual monarchy is generally used only to describe Austria-Hungary between 1867 and 1918. Following its defeat at the hands of Prussia in 1866 and its subsequent exclusion from Germany, the government of the Austrian Empire did a deal with its most powerful and potentially 'troublesome' minority, the Hungarians. Under the terms of the Ausgleich (compromise) of 1867 the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary was given full autonomy in most areas of government. (The details of this compromise are complicated). Technically, the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary were made virtually equal in status, with defence, foreign policy, customs duties and the currency and postal service under joint control. Austria-Hungary adopted the official title of Kaiserliche und koenigliche Monarchie Oesterreich-Ungarn - Imperial and royal Monarchy of Austria-Hungary. This empire remained in existence till 1918, when it fell apart towards the end of World War 1.
The transformation of the Austrian Empire into Austria-Hungary dates from the 'Ausgleich' (usually tranlated as 'Compromise') of 1867. In 1866 Austria suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of Prussia and was in effect expelled from Germany. There was a danger that the Hungarians, who had rebelled in 1848-49, might again rise in rebellion against Habsburg rule. (That said, negotiations for some kind of autonomy for Hungary had been in progress before the war of 1866). This vast empire (the second largest state in Europe - after Russia) disintegrated in 1918.
