Austro-Hungarian Empire
The Austro-Hungarian Empire, or Austria-Hungary, was a dual monarchy in Central Europe created by the Compromise of 1867 and ruled by the Habsburg emperor Franz Joseph and his successor. It combined many nationalities, whose tensions strained its political system. After the assassination of Franz Ferdinand it went to war in 1914, and it dissolved in 1918 at the end of the First World War.
