Austria-Hungary — the Austro-Hungarian Empire — united the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary under the Habsburgs. Besides the largely Germanic Austrians and the Magyars of Hungary, the Empire ruled over large ethnic and linguistic populations of Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Romanians, Slovenes, Croats, Serbians, Ruthenians, and Italians.

The two nations of the Empire, Austria and Hungary, shared a head of state and ministries of foreign affairs, finance, and defense. The countries had separate parliaments (in Vienna and Budapest) and prime ministers. Franz Josef was Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. His rule, his army, his fleet, were K.u.K., kaiserlich und königlich, Imperial and Royal.

In 1914, Commander-in-Chief Conrad von Hötzendorf failed on the Serbian and Russian fronts. Austria-Hungary's three 1914 invasions of Serbia failed at great cost. In four battles against Russia, Austria-Hungary lost Galicia, much of Austria-Hungary's rolling stock, and 350,000 of his 900,000 men.

Italy's entry into the war in May 1915 opened a third battlefront and the first of twelve Battles of the Isonzo.

With German and Bulgarian support, Austria defeated Serbia in 1915.

On November 2, 1918, the Hungarian Republic recalled all Hungarian troops.

From the lands and peoples of Austria-Hungary the nations of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were created. Transylvania and Bukovina became part of a greater Romania, Galicia part of Poland, the south Tyrol and Trieste part of Italy.

Of nine million men mobilized, 1,050,000 were dead at the war's end.

Austria-Hungary is a country in Europe.
