BACKGROUND
In an effort to remain a world power and consolidate its crumbling empire in central and eastern Europe, Austria joined with Hungary in 1867 to form the unusual alliance called the Dual Monarchy. The outcome was a geographically large nation of about 50 million people composed of many different language groups and nationalities. Before too long it was regarded as a great European power along with France, Germany, Russia, and Britain. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was ruled from Vienna by the Habsburg monarch who assumed two titles: Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary.
