Austria-Hungary, officially the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy, was a multi-ethnic state in Central Europe, established in 1867 as a compromise between the declining Habsburg monarchy who were trying to preserve their power and Hungarians who sought greater autonomy.
