This video was made using the research for the Holy Roman Empire video, which is still in production. As such it only goes up to founding the Austrian Empire in 1804. There are also some minor omissions in areas that haven't been fully researched yet.

Great video

[@noobnaut]

doesnt matter, its a great video

[@captainch6182]

I’m curious, Ollie. how much time are you going to cover for the HRE video? Will it be up to German unification like in your older HRE video? Or will it end at 1806?

[@user-dl7ju]

Fun fact: the Habsburgs are in fact a Swiss bloodline not Austrian.

[@rennor3498]

They are of both Swiss and French descent, if we are to speak of their origin based on geographic region from where their ancestors came. The earliest documented member of the family was Rathbod of Klettgau, Swabian count who married the sister of Hugues Capet, a powerful West Frankish or French noble who would later become King of France in 986.

[@EncompassingHistories]

That was really a great video worth watching, splendid work and research!

[@AnatidaeMapping]

Incredible video! Loved how thorough and detailed everything was, and that transition at 1437 was really well made.

[@Robi2009]

The amount of work that went into this is beyond amazing...

[@MsPaintMr]

I think it is a mistake that all mappers portray the declaration of the Austrian Empire as instantly superseding all the other Habsburg kingdoms in 1804. In reality it was a largely symbolic gesture and the duchies and kingdoms retained autonomy, particularly Hungary. In fact, Hungary had more autonomy than it would later have after the Austro-Hungarian compromise, and this lasted until the Revolutions of 1848 which is when Austria actually became centralised.

[@jameshoxworth6447]

So basically, the Austrian Empire was a union of duchies and kingdoms under Habsburg rule?

[@utherlightbringer3868]

​@@jameshoxworth6447 yes though they increased their influence during absolutism especially on smaller duchies though hungary was in personal union with Croatia as kingdoms

[@Tovalokodonc]

I'd very much like to contest the claim that Hungary had more autonomy prior to 1848 than after the 1867 Compromise. That is just not true in any shape or form

[@TIARASWEEKEND]

​@@Tovalokodonccan you explain more?

[@kolomaznik333]

@@TIARASWEEKEND I will try, but I do not specialize on that time. And I admit that hungarian topics are not familiar to me. Points 1, 2 and 3 are just some very general historical context, if you want it. 4. Austrian war with Prussian in 1866 ended with Austria defeated and in state of crisis. And not that loyal Hungarians were ready to use that (instead of loyal Czechs for example). To avoid collapse of the empire emperor conceded to the most of hungarian demands. In austro-hungarian compromise of 1867 the realm of austrian emperor actualy became confederation of two states. Almost all of 1848 revolution demands were accepted. Hungarian constitution was restored and only compromise law was only common constitutional law of both states. "Austria" (Lands represented in Imperial council) and "Hungary" (Lands of the saint Stephen crown) had only common: monarch and imperial-royal family hence the common foreign policy and military matters and common finances to finance all of that (including currency and customs area). Well Pragmatic sanction of 1723 was base for that. Everything else was independent. Like goverment, citizenship, laws, international commerce, internal affairs, elections, courts, cultural matters, education, health and social issues, etc. Austrian part became more and more liberal (1907 universal male sufrage, crown lands had their own diets that dealt with "regional matters"). While hungarian part was quite liberal but in sense of one common hungarian nation (hungarisation of minorities). Also after WWI peace treatries were made separately with both states. There was no common laws or parliament. Common matters (especially finances) were solved (or not) by delegations every ten years. I guess that idea that pre 1848 Hungary had more autonomy stems from power of the king after 1867 and then officially common foreign (and military) issues. I guess. 1. Habsburg lands were ruled by this dynasty (another story) but when dynasty came to the end of the male line last male ruled created Pragmatic sanction of 1723 approved by diets of all lands and main part was that: A) indivisible union ruled by same monarch and B) male line primogeniture succession but in the event of end of male line the daughters (or in general closest female(s) in male line) of last living male will be for succession purposes considered as male (still same primogeniture rules apply). So after dead of Charles VI his eldest daughter Maria Theresa inherited this mess.... She and her husband made start of Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty (only surving branch of House of Lorraine). 2. Grandson of Maria Theresa the last HRE Francis II in the possible event of takeover of HRE by Napoleon who proclaimed himself emperor in may 1804, Francis in fear of losing imperial dignity proclaimed himself as "hereditary austrian emperor". By that in did not changed laws of his (separate) lands or created new united country. As emperordom were labeled all his domains or all domains ruled by head of the dynasty (also head of primogeniture austrian line, because tuscan and modenese lines exist also). It was also not elevation of archduchy of Austria! The name was over time naturaly transmited to all domains he ruled. DIfferent lands had different rules and privileges. Kingdom of Hungary (kingdom that was never part of HRE) already had some specific privileges that made it "most autonomous part". 3. Over the time on most domains monarch power was more and more centralised (Metternich absolutism). In 1848 revolutions around Europe happened, including Austrian realms. Hungarians wanted even more autonomy or almost outright independence. Revolution was crushed with help of russian forces. And laws that made Hungary independet under common ruled were revoked. After that there was several attempts for united constitution but in 1851 constitution was revoked by emperor. And centralisation continued. After several years Austria was worse and more and more people wanted autonomy and constitution. So in 1860 and then in 1861 constituon for all domains ruled by emperor was made, which made Austrian empire single state made of several different parts. Hungary retained kind of special position (common parliament left internal hungarian policies to diet of Hungary) but it was too little in the eyes or Hungarians.

[@mikema1910]

In regal halls, their banners unfurled, The Habsburgs ruled, their power swirled. From Vienna's grandeur to Spain's embrace, Their empire spanned with sovereign grace. Through centuries, their dynasty reigned, In history's annals, their name ingrained. From Alpine peaks to Danube's flow, Their influence spread, a timeless glow. Yet beneath the crown, whispers abound, Of intrigue, ambition, and plots unwound. For power grasped can swiftly fade, In the tumult of time's relentless parade.

One small pedantic thing, but Ferdinand did not personal hold the territories of the hereditary lands until the division of the Hapsburgs realm in 1556, during the diet of worms Ferdinand was made regnant of the hereditary lands on Charles behave so well it is true that Ferdinand, did personal govern those lands after 1521, they were still legal the positions of Charles until his abdication. Edit: Also the dutchies of upper and lower Austria were two distinct entities rather then one Austrian dutchy as you have on the map. great work so far, can't wait to see how the rest of the holy roman empire video turns out!

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

[@viktator4205]

Transylvania and Banat were managed separately from Hungary. "Union with Transylvania" was one of the demands of Hungarian revolutionaries in 1848 precisely because the principality of Transylvania was treated as a separate realm.

[@z000ey]

Exactly! did no research inside the Hungarian realm, just took it as a whole. Shame!

[@19Szabolcs91]

Yeah, and Croatia was even more of a separate entity as it was in a personal union with Hungary. So it came with the Hungarian crown, but still, if the Austrian regions are all listed separately, might as well do the same for the Hungarian side.

[@z000ey]

@@19Szabolcs91 exactly! Personal union of two kingdoms undr one crown, and that persevered under the Habsburgs too. Croatia had it's own Sabor and Ban, and the union was approved through it.

@@sakkra93 Still doesnt make sense to me... Habsburg male line died out in 1740, the vid goes past that. Maybe its because Napoleonic and WW1 vids have already been done? Still the vid says Hapsburgs every year, regardless of distinction. So I think he should've done 'every year'
