AUSTRIA-HUNGARY - LoveToKnow Article on AUSTRIA-HUNGARY The Hungarian retreat after the bloody battle of Kapolna (February 2627, 1849) was followed by the dissolution of the Kremsier assembly, and a proclamation in which the emperor announced his intention of granting a constitution to the whole monarchy one and indivisible. The Hungarians laid down the principle that they were in no way responsible for debts contracted during a time when they had been deprived of their constitutional liberties; they consented, however, to pay each year 291/2 million gulden towards the interest. The yearly contingent of recruits for the army is fixed by the military bills voted by the Austrian and Hungarian parliaments, and is generally determined on the basis of the population, according to the last census returns. 2.1911encyclopedia.org /A/AU/AUSTRIA_HUNGARY.htm   (20402 words)

Austro-Hungarian empire and kingdom navy Maritime navy and aristocracy retinue from Vienna, with at its head, emperor Francis Joseph and empress Elizabeth (Sissi) came from Triest to Pula on 9 December 1856, when the founding stone was laid in order to formally confirm the establishment of a dockyard and a shipyard. Memories of the K.u.k battle navy, which, like the ships on Kircher paintings, give the salty odour of destiny, are part of the album of many generations who took part in the European history. That was the beginning of the main part of a story about the times of a navy, which in Pula, through training and researches, through defeat and victory, loaded on its ships the littoral world and central-European plains for the entire era. www.marveruda.com /kuk/kuk_ang.htm   (1231 words)

Zrinyi During World War I, Zrinyi served with the 2d Division of the Austro-Hungarian Navy's battleships and took part in the bombardment of the key seaport of Ancona, Italy, on 24 May 1915. However, Allied control of the Strait of Otranto meant that the Austro-Hungarian Navy was, for all intent and purposes, effectively bottled up in the Adriatic. Zrinyi had apparently been turned over to the Yugoslavs, as it was a Yugoslavian naval officer, Korvetten-kapitdn Marijan Polic who turned over the ship to representatives of the United States Navy at Spalato, Dal-matia, on the afternoon of 22 November 1919. www.history.navy.mil /danfs/z1/zrinyi.htm   (354 words)

Austro-Hungarian Army - The Armistice 1918 The conditions meted out to the Austro-Hungarian navy were exceptionally severe; and were dictated by regard for Yugoslavia. Even had the German-Austrian troops not intermingled with the Slavs and the Hungarians, it would have been impossible for the Council of State to have taken upon itself the responsibility for a continuance of the war; especially a continuance of the war within their own country. The Hungarian Minister for War had in the meantime addressed himself to the emperor personally, with the result that at ten o'clock that evening Arz issued an order that Linder's order might now be obeyed. www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk /armistice.html   (3990 words)

NAVAL WARFARE IN THE ADRIATIC A squadron of hussars rode ahead of the state carriages of the high dignitaries, which were followed in turn by the mounted Hungarian Guards, who presented a resplendent spectacle, the heron plumes in their shakos and their panther skins fluttering in the breeze. The men wore uniform or Hungarian national costume, and the sunlight, falling on the stalls where the ladies sat, produced a sparkle and glitter as if the lid of a vast jewel casket had been raised. This and the rest of the coronation regalia is presently on display in the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest. victorian.fortunecity.com /wooton/34/horthy/05.html   (4762 words)

Tihanyi During World War I, Tihanyi served as artillery engineer, then as radio engineer at the Austro-Hungarian Navy Headquarters in Pola, where his remote controlled submarine mine was developed and successfully used. At the end of 1931, Tihanyi was invited by the Italian Navy to develop his torpedo for marine use. His most important inventions concerning the design of the cathode ray tube, Iconoscope, for television were bought and developed by RCA (Radio Corporation of America) and German companies Loewe and Fernseh AG. www.geocities.com /neveyaakov/electro_science/tihanyi.html   (1016 words)

ADMIRAL HORTHY'S POSITION AS REGENT Thaon de Revel, Italy's bearded and dignified minister of the navy, admitted that the Austro- Hungarian navy was much weaker than his own, but, he said, the enemy had excellent hiding places in the Dalmatian Islands. Her friends knew that she was primarily a loving mother and still the modest wife of an Austro- Hungarian naval officer whose dutifulness in service had not been stimulated by material rewards. A very prominent Hungarian told me one day that the Regent complained bitterly that he had a young fellow for whom he was anxious to get a position in one of the government departments, but could do nothing for him. www.hungarian-history.hu /lib/montgo/montgo04.htm   (3652 words)

Austrian or Austro-Hungarian Navy, WW1 With the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the state of Yugoslavia was formed by the southern Slavs and declared on the side of the Allies. Most of her guns and guns crews were landed as the 'Elisabeth' Battery for the defence of the German naval base during the Japanese siege. The initially small Austrian submarine force was unable to play a role outside the Adriatic, and by early 1915 the Germans were sending U-boats into the Mediterranean, in part to attack the Allied fleet off the Dardanelles. www.naval-history.net /WW1NavyAustrian.htm   (2431 words)

FranzFerdinand & The Navy Erzfeind by Austria-Hungary and it was with the Italian navy in mind that the Austro-Hungarian navy sought to compete in both size and strength. Having seen the benefits of having a strong navy that could project power across the seas during his grand World Tour in 1892-93 aboard the cruiser SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, Franz Ferdinand was able to advocate a stronger K.u.K. Kriegsmarine. Also, whilst the major foreign navies were taking the torpedo threat seriously, introducing longitudinal anti-torpedo bulkheads, Popper's design was deficient in internal subdivision - again with cost in mind - by clinging to the outmoded concept of a centreline bulkhead. www.btinternet.com /~j.pasteur/Navy.html   (1642 words)

NWCR, Summer 2000: Review of Vego Therefore, the Italian fleet became “the yardstick by which the strength of the Austro-Hungarian navy was measured.” Nonetheless, the two powers coordinated naval efforts in the Mediterranean Sea to benefit Germany, the remaining member of the alliance. Internally, the Dual Monarchy’s constitutional arrangement required the approval of the Hungarian delegation for naval expansion. Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir to the throne, however, praised naval expansion as necessary if the empire was to take its place as a maritime power, while he harbored distrust of Italian commitment to the alliance. www.nwc.navy.mil /press/Review/2000/summer/br14-Su0.htm   (562 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Austro-Hungarian Monarchy Most of the Hungarian bishops had falleen at the battle of Mohács, and the subsequent disputes concerning the succession to the throne distracted the monarchy. The Apostolic field-vicariate for the army and navy is directly under the control of the Holy See. The head of the ministry, Wekerle, introduced three bills enacting that returns of marriages, births, and deaths should be made by a civil registrar; that the Jewish religion should be legally recognized, that permission should be given for its free exercise, and the right to enter or leave the Jewish faith should be granted. www.newadvent.org /cathen/02121b.htm   (16978 words)

Hungary Horthy White Terror 1919-1921 Instead, Miklos Horthy (1920-44)--a former commander in chief of the Austro-Hungarian navy--was elected regent and was empowered, among other things, to appoint Hungary's prime minister, veto legislation, convene or dissolve the parliament, and command the armed forces. In January 1920, Hungarian men and women cast the first secret ballots in the country's political history and elected a large counterrevolutionary and agrarian majority to a unicameral parliament. The white terror continued to plague Jews and leftists, unemployment and inflation soared, and penniless Hungarian refugees poured across the border from neighboring countries and burdened the floundering economy. www.onwar.com /aced/data/hotel/hungary1919b.htm   (494 words)

EARLY HISTORY The Hungarians were always more concerned with Hungarian issues than external relations, and so they often chose to squeeze the budget voted to the armed forces and the navy in particular. In consequence, Austria-Hungary’s navy was proportionately smaller than her army, and her ships did not compare with those of her fellow major powers, such as the United Kingdom, Germany or France. To understand the position the Austrian navy found itself in it is necessary to look back to the way in which it had developed and the level of commitment shown to it. www.stile.coventry.ac.uk /cbs/staff/beech/ahnavy/hist1.htm   (3822 words)

Hungary before the German occupation When the Kun regime collapsed following a Romanian invasion in June 1919, Admiral Miklos Horthy, who had been an officer in the Austro-Hungarian navy, came to power at the head of a conservative-nationalist coalition. Ironically, most Hungarian Jews were thus spared deportation prior to the German occupation in 1944, as the Nazis did not directly control the internal activities of their allies. Hungarian troops participated alongside German troops in the invasion of Yugoslavia (April 1941) and the Soviet Union (June 1941). www.ushmm.org /wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10005457   (609 words)

NWC Review, Winter 2000: Saxon The Japanese navy relieved the Akashi in June 1917 with the armored cruiser Izumo and reinforced the Malta squadron with the destroyers Kashi, Hinoki, Momo, and Yanagi. Although the Navy’s position had strengthened somewhat in the Yammato cabinet, which left office in April 1914, the balance of power in the succeeding Okuma cabinet allowed the Army to veto the deployment of naval units to the European theater of operations in November 1914. On 1 November 1914, the Japanese navy agreed to a British request to assume all patrols in the Indian Ocean east of ninety degrees east longitude. www.nwc.navy.mil /press/Review/2000/winter/art3-w00.htm   (8958 words)

The Austro-Hungarian Navy was only introduced for the army and the navy in 1889, we speak of the k.k. The two halves were only linked together by three common institutions: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of War, and a Ministry of Finance to fund the Dual Monarchy’s diplomatic operations and the army and the navy. To complicate matters, institutions that belonged to only one of the empire’s constituent parts maintained their old prefix; thus: "k.k. homepages.fh-giessen.de /~hg6339/data/ah   (285 words)
