АУСТРО-УГАРСКА НАГОДБА 1867. ГОДИНЕ И САВРЕМЕНЕ ПОЛИТИЧКЕ РЕАКЦИЈЕ У АУСТРИЈСКОМ ДЕЛУ МОНАРХИЈЕ
THE AUSTRO-HUNGARY COMPROMISE OF 1867 AND CONTEMPORARY POLITICAL REACTIONS IN THE AUSTRIAN PART OF THE MONARCHY

Summary/Abstract: The Austro-Hungarian Compromise in 1867 was considered a law that determined the entire Austro-Hungarian Monarchy until 1918. The Dual Monarchy was created, in which the political will of two nations truly prevailed, that of the Austrian Germans and the Hungarians. They were the political nations that actually determined the domestic and foreign policy of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy between 1867 and 1918. This work was the first in Serbian historiography to reveal the opinion of the contemporary politics and press of non-Germanic peoples about the Austro-Hungarian Compromise. During the research, the authors used sources and literature in several languages in order to provide the most authentic picture possible of how the Slavic peoples and the Austrian Germans viewed the Compromise. This research proved that the Austrian Germans, although with difficulty, accepted the Compromise with the Hungarians. They did this primarily for economic reasons, which were mainly sought by Austrian capitalists to exploit in the Hungarian market. The Czechs found the 1867 compromise a huge disappointment, as they considered themselves a historical nation within the Monarchy. furthermore, Franz Joseph I changed his mind almost at the last moment and in 1871 the dualist monarchy was not transformed into a trialist one with a separate part of Bohemia. The Poles in Galicia initially pursued federalist aspirations with the Czechs, but in 1867 they gained extensive cultural and administrative autonomy, which ensured Polish hegemony in Galicia. The Slovenes also opposed the compromise between Vienna and Buda-Pest, as they feared the Germanization policy. In the end, Slovenian politicians in Vienna were not consistent and voted for the compromise law, which provoked harsh criticism from the Slovenian press.
