| − | •Prior to the Napoleonic wars and France’s |
||
| − | domination of Europe, Austria was one of |
||
| − | Europe’s most powerful nations. |
||
| − | |||
| − | •The powerful Hapsburg dy- |
||
| − | nasty controlled not only Cen- |
||
| − | tral Europe, but also Spain and |
||
| − | |||
| − | the Netherlands. Charles V, the |
||
| − | Holy Roman Emperor & King |
||
| − | |||
| − | of Spain, split the vast Haps- |
||
| − | burg holdings in 1556 when he abdicated |
||
| − | |||
| − | his throne. The Austrian Hapsburgs contin- |
||
| − | ued to control Central Europe, while |
||
| − | |||
| − | Charles’ son Philip II took possession of |
||
| − | Spain, the Netherlands & Spanish New |
||
| − | World possessions. |
||
| − | |||
| − | •By 1800, the Austrian Hapsburgs con- |
||
| − | trolled the second largest Empire in Europe |
||
| − | |||
| − | (after Russia), and the third most populous |
||
| − | (after Russia and Prussia). |
||
| − | •While Austria was damaged somewhat by |
||
| − | |||
| − | the Napoleonic Wars, their in- |
||
| − | fluence in European affairs re- |
||
| − | mained profound, as they |
||
| − | |||
| − | hosted the infamous Congress |
||
| − | of Vienna in 1815. |
||
| − | •Austria put herself in charge of the |
||
| − | ‘Confederation of the Rhine’ — a loose |
||
| − | grouping of Germanic states. However, her |
||
| − | power and influence there began to wane |
||
| − | by the 1840s due to the rise of the powerful |
||
| − | & industrial Prussia. |
||
| − | |||
| − | •In general, Austria’s power in Europe de- |
||
| − | creased throughout the rest of the 19th cen- |
||
| − | tury. Austria was falling behind economi- |
||
| − | cally, as they were largely unindustrialized, |
||
| − | |||
| − | and they were plagued by the nationalist |
||
| − | uprisings of their minority groups. |
||

| − | Multi-national Empire in a Nationalist World national Empire in a Nationalist World national Empire in a Nationalist World |
||
| − | •The Austrian Empire not only controlled |
||
| − | vast territory in Central Europe, it also ruled |
||
| − | over more than a dozen different ethnic |
||
| − | |||
| − | groups. Each group had its own culture, his- |
||
| − | tory and language. As time went on, these |
||
| − | |||
| − | groups became increasingly vocal about |
||
| − | their desire for self-government. |
||
| − | |||
| − | •In 1848, Austria faced a series of signifi- |
||
| − | cant uprisings within its Empire. There were |
||
| − | |||
| − | demonstrations for democratic reforms in |
||
| − | the capital city of Vienna. These |
||
| − | demonstrations were put down, |
||
| − | however it was harder to crush |
||
| − | the nationalist demonstrations |
||
| − | |||
| − | that were occurring in the Hun- |
||
| − | garian portion of their Empire. In fact, the |
||
| − | |||
| − | Austrians needed Russian help to deal with |
||
| − | the Hungarians. |

| − | The Dual Monarchy The Dual Monarchy |
||
| − | |||
| − | •The Austrian Empire continued to deal with |
||
| − | nationalist uprisings and with the increased |
||
| − | dissatisfaction of its largest minority, the |
||
| − | Magyars (Hungarians). |
||
| − | •In 1867, Emperor Franz Joseph agreed to |
||
| − | the Hungarian Compromise of 1867 which |
||
| − | created the ‘Dual Monarchy’. |
||
| − | The Emperor would continue to |
||
| − | rule from Vienna, but a second |
||
| − | |||
| − | capital city was created at Bu- |
||
| − | dapest (Hungary) to rule the |
||
| − | |||
| − | Eastern part of the Empire. A |
||
| − | second parliament was created, and the |
||
| − | Hungarians were granted enormous ruling |
||
| − | power. Austria became Austria-Hungary, |
||
| − | and the eagle on the traditional coat of |
||
| − | arms now sported two heads. |
