During this weekend I have read a short book about the history of the Austrian Hungarian Empire. Here are some basic facts about the Austrian Hungarian monaarchy. At first Austria and Hungary were two induvidual empires. The Hungarian Empire had todays Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, and parts of Romania especially Transilvania which is the northern part of todays Romania. The Hungarian Empire also had under its rule the northern part of Serbia called Vojvodina. Vojvodina was from 1345 to 1918 under the Hungarian empire or Austrian Hungarian Empire. In 1868 Austrian Empire and the Hungarian Empire signed a declaration of being a duel monarchy from which resulted thhat that two very powerfull empires have integrated. The Austrian Hungarian empire had a tremendous growth in all areas especially in the area of millitary. in 1884 Bosnia was underr the Austrian Hungarian Rule. Unfortunately, following the murder of King Franz Ferdinand it resulted to World War I which burried millions and millions of people. In 1918 it came to a finish of the war where Austrian and hungary was beaten. From that day Austria and hungary was no more longer said anywhere except in history books.
