Austro-Hungarian Compromise
June 8, 1867
To hold his empire together after Königgrätz, Franz Joseph made a deal with the Hungarian nobility: separate parliaments, common army and foreign policy, one crown worn twice. He was crowned king of Hungary in Buda. The Dual Monarchy would stagger on for another fifty years and die in 1918, but this was its birth certificate.
