The state of English in this article is frequently poor. I see the article contains no facility to edit, which I would gladly do but cannot, therefore I would recommend that an educated, fluent native speaker of standard English checks the article thoroughly and makes the required amendments. One silly example 'The population was composed by about 2500 people ...' What on earth is 'was composed by'? The author means, of course, 'was composed of' or 'comprised'. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 22:05, 12 November 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

The war of 1848-49 was broken out '''for greater democracy''', due to the unconstitutional arbitrary revoke of the ] by Franz Joseph , who was just an ] in Hungary by the grace of Russian Tzar before his coronation. |

Kingdom of Hungary as a state had no reason to change its status, because it was not part of Austrian Empire before the 1848 revolution. The Hungarian state had higher status before the 1848 revolution than after the Ausgleich of 1867. See the "Historical background" section of the ] article.--] (]) 10:11, 5 November 2023 (UTC) |

While I appreciate the dedication to accuracy (and covering all of your bases,) whoever made the edit included the "military standard" of Austria-Hungary, unless I am mistaken, when they intended to include the flag of the Emperor and Empress. Furthermore, I don't believe showing the flag of the Emperor and Empress, or a military standard if that's what they wanted to do, is needed at all. The way I personally would represent Austria-Hungary in flags accurately would be to show the black and yellow Habsburg banner, over the flag of the Kingdom of Hungary, which is over the flag of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. If you see the way the article ] showcases both the flag of Hungary and Croatia, I would love to show this in a similar manner, just with 3 flags as the law in Transleithania required the flag of Hungary and Croatia be alongside each other or otherwise represented in the Hungarian diet and House of Magnates. If that is not possible, or not preferential, I would suggest merely showing the Habsburg banner of black and yellow and the "civil" flag of Hungary, without any coat of arms, as this was a common combination of flags to be flown contemporarily in the empire. Of course I would prefer flying the 3 flags, as by Transleithanian law Croatia-Slavonia had to be represented, and thus the flag of Hungary cannot suffice. If these changes cannot be made, I just suggest reverting back to showing the "see also ]," as it worked and prevented any discourse over it for the time it existed. Edit: It appears that it has been reverted back to the "see also ]." so this talk is essentially pointless unless you want to implement the changes I suggested. ] (]) 01:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC) |

Since the status of Hungarian state was not even a question in the 1848 events, when the revolution broke out, because pre-1848 Kingdom of Hungary was enough independent. The second phase of the conflict started due to the new arbitrary Austrian march constitution '''of 1849'''. |

So it is important not to confuse what happened on March 1848,(when the revolution '''started for democracy'''), with the events of 1849, when the mere existence of the Kingdom of Hungary was questioned by the Habsburg's new arbitrary constitution.

During the Middle Ages, the Duchy of Austria was an autonomous state within the Holy Roman Empire, governed by the House of Habsburg. In contrast, the Kingdom of Hungary was a sovereign state outside the empire. In 1526, Hungary was defeated and partially conquered by the Ottoman Empire. King Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia died young in the Battle of Mohács, leaving no legitimate heir. Consequently, Louis II’s brother-in-law, Ferdinand I of Habsburg, was elected King of Hungary by a rump Parliament in Pozsony (now Bratislava) in December 15261. The Ottomans were subsequently driven out of Hungary by the cooperation of international Western Christian forces led by Prince Eugene of Savoy between 1686 and 1699. From 1526 to 1804, Hungary was ruled by the Habsburg dynasty as kings of Hungary, but remained nominally and legally separate from the other lands of the Habsburg monarchy. '''Unlike other Habsburg-ruled areas, '''the Kingdom of Hungary had an old historic constitution''', which limited the power of the Crown and had greatly increased the authority of the parliament since the 13th century.''' The Golden Bull of 1222 was one of '''the earliest examples of constitutional limits being placed on the powers of a European monarch''', which was forced on the Hungarian king in much the same way King John of England was made to sign Magna Carta. |

The traditionally highly autonomous counties of Hungary posed a major obstacle in the construction of absolutism in Hungary. The counties were the centers of local public administration and local politics in Hungary, and they possessed a recognized right to refuse to carry out any “unlawful” (unconstitutional) royal orders. This made it possible '''to question the legality of a surprisingly high proportion of the royal orders''' which emanated from Vienna. |

The Kingdom of Hungary was always considered a separate realm, and its status was affirmed by Article X, which was added to Hungary’s constitution in 1790 during the phase of the composite monarchy. '''The article described the state as a Regnum Independens'''. From the perspective of the Court since 1723, regnum Hungariae had been a hereditary province of the dynasty’s three main branches on both lines. From the perspective of the ország (the country), Hungary was regnum independens, a separate Land as stipulated by Article X of 1790. The Court reassured the diet that the assumption of the monarch’s newly adopted title (Emperor of Austria) did not affect the laws and the constitution on the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary in any sense. |

The Hungarian legal and judicial systems remained separate and independent from the unified legal and judicial systems of the other Habsburg-ruled areas. Consequently, t'''he administration and structures of central government of the Kingdom of Hungary also remained separate from the Austrian administration and government''' until the 1848 revolution. Hungary was governed to a greater degree by the Council of Lieutenancy of Hungary (the Gubernium) in Pressburg (Pozsony) and, to a lesser extent, by the Hungarian Royal Court Chancellery in Vienna, which was '''independent of the Imperial Chancellery of Austria'''. |

In Hungary, the '''coronation of a new king was absolutely indispensable for his reign''' to begin, unlike in most Western European countries such as France and the United Kingdom, where the king’s reign began immediately upon the death of his predecessor. If the coronation was not properly executed, the Kingdom would remain “orphaned”. Even during the long personal union between the Kingdom of Hungary and other Habsburg-ruled areas, '''no Habsburg monarch could promulgate laws or exercise his royal prerogatives in the territory of Hungary until he had been crowned as King of Hungary''' |

So, groups of people or even countries are all fighting for democracy who are working to overthrow absolutism (ie dictatorship) to transform it into a democratic constitutional monarchy or a democratic republic. |
|
|
It is no coincidence that Kossuth was seen as the physical embodiment of democracy, and (it is no exaggeration) as a '''demigod-like figure''' by both the British and the Americans, when Kossuth visited these countries during his emigration. |

== A simple way to show the flags of Austria-Hungary in the info box: a proposal (no further replies on this thread) == |
|
|
|
|
|
Hello, i've heard a lot about the discourse over the simple inclusion of flags for representing the nation, or rather, dual monarchy, or, something like what Great Britain is. The whole debacle about the civil ensign being used as the flag apparently goes back to before Misplaced Pages was established, when it was being shown as the official flag in some encyclopedias. I wanted to throw some ideas out for how to represent the flags of Austria-Hungary. |
|
|
1. austrian flags on one side, coat of arms in the middle, hungarian flags on the other, bosnian flags on the bottom. |
|
|
This is fairly simple, on the left side of the CoA, you have Cisleithania's main flag, on the right, you have Transleithania's, and below, you have Bosnia's. |
|
|
2. the main flag used (aka the cisleithanian flag), with the other flags in a section explaining the other countries. |
|
|
This is like how the UK wiki page does it. Personally, I would go with this one. The ensigns could also be explained in another section, and the provinces & flags of the 3 countries could be explained on another page. |
|
|
|
|
|
So what do yall think of these ideas ] (]) 22:35, 8 December 2023 (UTC) |

:Why is it important to do this when it bloats the infobox and ] is its own page? There's this impulse that information on sovereign states must prioritize flags the way we are familiar with—it is simply anachronistic, and indulging it is misleading. We don't need more elaborate ideas on how to present the flags because the flags were not that important to this particular polity. ]] 22:37, 8 December 2023 (UTC) |

::I extremely disagree. Along with the name the flag is one of the representatives of a nation. Getting it wrong is as serious a mistake as getting the name completely wrong ] (]) 09:17, 13 February 2024 (UTC) |

:::Your perspective is extremely recent and would have been foreign to most Europeans prior to the 19th century. Speaking of a "nation" in the context of Austria-Hungary of all polities is telling. ]] 20:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC) |

:What do I think? I think this thread should be closed as soon as possible. The options you state were edit warred over many years which seriously destabilised this article. There are strong off- and on-wiki POVs at play. The current "no flags" compromise was adopted two years ago and since then peace has reigned. Opening up this issue again is not only pointless but highly disruptive. ] (]) 22:57, 8 December 2023 (UTC) |

The state of English in this article is frequently poor. I see the article contains no facility to edit, which I would gladly do but cannot, therefore I would recommend that an educated, fluent native speaker of standard English checks the article thoroughly and makes the required amendments. One silly example 'The population was composed by about 2500 people ...' What on earth is 'was composed by'? The author means, of course, 'was composed of' or 'comprised'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.10.233 (talk) 22:05, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
While I appreciate the dedication to accuracy (and covering all of your bases,) whoever made the edit included the "military standard" of Austria-Hungary, unless I am mistaken, when they intended to include the flag of the Emperor and Empress. Furthermore, I don't believe showing the flag of the Emperor and Empress, or a military standard if that's what they wanted to do, is needed at all. The way I personally would represent Austria-Hungary in flags accurately would be to show the black and yellow Habsburg banner, over the flag of the Kingdom of Hungary, which is over the flag of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. If you see the way the article Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen showcases both the flag of Hungary and Croatia, I would love to show this in a similar manner, just with 3 flags as the law in Transleithania required the flag of Hungary and Croatia be alongside each other or otherwise represented in the Hungarian diet and House of Magnates. If that is not possible, or not preferential, I would suggest merely showing the Habsburg banner of black and yellow and the "civil" flag of Hungary, without any coat of arms, as this was a common combination of flags to be flown contemporarily in the empire. Of course I would prefer flying the 3 flags, as by Transleithanian law Croatia-Slavonia had to be represented, and thus the flag of Hungary cannot suffice. If these changes cannot be made, I just suggest reverting back to showing the "see also Flags of Austria-Hungary," as it worked and prevented any discourse over it for the time it existed. Edit: It appears that it has been reverted back to the "see also Flags of Austria-Hungary." so this talk is essentially pointless unless you want to implement the changes I suggested. Hestatus24 (talk) 01:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
What if we add te flags of the multiple countries, such as Cisleithania, Hungary. Croatia-Slavonia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, while keeping the page about the flags, to explain it in more detail. Masachiku (talk) 17:37, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
"Beginning in 1882, there was a Slovene majority in the Diet of Carniola and in the capital Laibach (Ljubljana); they replaced German with Slovene as their primary official language."
