Abstract
The Austro-Hungarian settlement established the Dual Monarchy. Austria and
Hungary established that foreign policy, military affairs and finances are the joint
affairs of the entire monarchy, while all other affairs were handled independently
by the two parties. Hungary was also bound by the Croatian-Hungarian settlement,
which in turn ensured Zagreb full independence in matters of internal administration,
judiciary, worship and public education, including legislative power in these
matters (Sabor) and executive power (ban government). Croats were recognized
as a political nation (Hungarians in Hungary also enjoyed this status), and in the
Three Kingdoms the official language was Croatian. In addition, Croatia could use
its national symbols, and it had its own minister in the Hungarian (joint, central)
government in Budapest.
At the time of dualism, managing the country was very difficult, because the
king, the Hungarian minister, the president, and the ban were in a mutual relationship
of subordination, but they also had to enjoy mutual trust. In 1903, there was a
parliamentary crisis in Austria, which spilled over into Hungary, while riots broke
out in Croatia against bans and Hungarianization. In this paper, based on the archive
files of the Hungarian Parliament, we analyze how events from Croatia manifested
themselves in Hungary and the entire monarchy, and we also give an answer to the
thesis that the ban „fled from Croatia”.
