The Rise of Nationalism Austria-Hungary By: Roxanne Aichinger & Camille Mandell
Austria-Hungary • Austria-Hungary was a union between monarchies from Austria to Hungary. • The union was a result of the Compromise of 1867 when the Austrian House of Habsburg agreed to share power with the Hungarian government. • The deal was to divide territory of the early Austrian Empire.

The Dual Monarchies • The main goal of Austria-Hungry was to gain political control over the Balkan Peninsula. • The main nationalist movements in the Balkans were shown by Serbia. • Serbia wanted to join in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to make themselves larger, resulting in Austria-Hungary’s hate for Serbia from 1871-1914. • The Dual Monarchy lasted for 51 years until 1918.
The Great war • Serbia was intimidating Austria-Hungary after they had gained territory in the Second Balkan War of 1913 causing havoc in the Austro- Hungarian empire. • Members of the Austrian Hungry government such as Conrad Von Hotzendorf wanted to clear up this mess.
