The Habsburg monarchy from 1849 to 1868
“Atlas of European history”, Times Books, 1994
via cartesdhistoire
Having defeated the revolution of 1848 in Hungary, Vienna made substantial changes to Hungarian territory: Transylvania was detached, Croatia was enlarged and the voivodship of Serbia and the Banat of Tamiš was created (November 1849).
This situation continued until the Austrian defeats in Italy in 1859 and against Prussia in 1866. After the abolition of the voivodship of Serbia and the Banat in 1860, Emperor Franz Joseph restored the autonomy of Hungary through the Compromise of 1867 (“Österreichisch-Ungarischer Ausgleich”). Hungary obtained what it demanded in 1848: a government responsible to Parliament and the management of its internal affairs, to the great dismay of the non-Magyar populations who were therefore subject to the centralizing model of Budapest.
The Compromise consists of the Constitutional Statute concerning Austria and its dependencies and the Constitutional Pact concluded between Franz Joseph and the Hungarian Nation. Indeed, the Hungarians have always seen their integration into the Habsburg monarchy as a voluntary act and not as a subjection.
The “Ausgleich” was completed in November 1868 by a Hungarian-Croatian compromise (“Nagoda”) negotiated between Budapest and the Zagreb Diet. Croatia-Slavonia now forms an autonomous kingdom within Hungary with its own administration and its Diet (“Sabor”).
Hungary recovered Transylvania in 1867 and the military borders were placed under civil administration between 1851 and 1881.
Hungary (Transleithania) brings together 20,886,000 inhabitants in a territory which is generally that of the Crown of Saint-Etienne. This is also its official name: “Country of the Crown of Saint-Étienne”. Austria (Cisleithania) is the rest of the Habsburg territory, officially named "Kingdoms and countries represented in the Imperial Diet", a more disparate group of 28,275,000 inhabitants - including the Countries of the Crown of Saint Wenceslas: Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia.

feeling the urge to make the virgin-vs-chad meme but about the u.s. eagle versus the habsburg eagle respectively
like, look at this buffoon:
Tumblr media
this eagle crashes into your window. this eagle can be shooed away with a broom. this eagle looks like a slightly-buff chicken when it rains.
now compare it to this:
Tumblr media
this eagle feasts on the bones of its vanquished enemies. this eagle shows up to the funeral better dressed than you. this eagle is an omen of the doom of your family. this eagle has two heads for the love of—

actually I want a musical about the Habsburgs called House of Habsburg and it’s just about the most fucked up bits of the Habsburg family’s history. and I want it purely because I know Tumblr will be absolutely horrible about it and I’d find it really funny if we got the Charles II of Spain sequel to Miku Binder Thomas Jefferson.

change my mind
for the life of me I can’t understand why everyone loves empress Elizabeth of Austria.  When I was born my mother named me “sisi” because she really liked those Romy Shneider movies where Elizabeth was sold as “the compassionate people’s empress”. Now it’s been years since I started researching her for myself and yet I still can’t understand what the hell did this woman do besides having a tiny waist and nice hair. The more I learn about Elizabeth the more I find her insufferable.  I understand that she lived in a sexist society and science at that point wasn’t developed enough to give her the mental health support she needed, but damn that woman was selfish and self-absorbed to a fault. she had enormous privilege and yet couldn’t turn it into anything good.
Today’s media portrays her as a Diana predecessor.  A woman whose fierce heart contrasted with the stuffiness of the royal court but this narrative isn’t true for either of the aforementioned women.  at least lady D was very good at charity work, Empress Elizabeth was very happy in her fancy villas, traveling around Europe, writing self-congratulatory poems, and being completely oblivious to her children's needs or her duty as an empress.
So it seems to me that she’s still known only because she was pretty, but I'm desperate to change my mind. soooo if anyone would care to educate me on the matter I’d be very happy to learn.

Idk where this falls on the political compass, but I'm starting to think the Habsburgs were our best shot for world peace.
"Go to war with Venezuela? Nah man, that's where my boy King Philip XVIII is at. He's my dear cousin, and my daughter would be pissed if I went to war with her fiance."

“—slight of stature and round-faced, with pale blue eyes, somewhat prominent lip, and pink skin, but his overall appearance is very attractive. He dresses very tastefully, and everything that he does is courteous and gracious.”
Venetian ambassador Paolo Fagolo being aesthetically gay for Philip II of Spain in 1563
