Austria–Hungary, also known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy, is a state in Central Europe ruled by the House of Habsburg, constitutionally a monarchic union between the Crowns of the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. The state is a result of the Ausgleich or Compromise of 1867, under which the Austrian Habsburgs agreed to share power with a separate Hungarian government, dividing the territory of the former Austrian Empire between them.
After the renegotiations of the Ausgleich in 1927, the constituent parts of Austria–Hungary are:
- Austria, a primary constituent of the Dual Monarchy
- Hungary, a primary constituent of the Dual Monarchy
- Bohemia, a secondary constituent of the Dual Monarchy under the control of the Austrian Crown
- Galicia-Lodomiera, a secondary constituent of the Dual Monarchy under the control of the Austrian Crown
- Croatia, a secondary constituent of the Dual Monarchy under the control of the Hungarian Crown
- Bosnia, a secondary constituent of the Dual Monarchy under the control of the Austrian Crown
