1888 CE to 1899 CE

Austria-Hungary's parliament is highly fragmented both nationally and politically.

Minister-President Count Kasimir Badeni offers new concessions to the Czechs in 1897 to forge the majority coalition he needs to conduct customs and trade policy negotiations with the Hungarians.

These concessions, which deal with the use of the Czech language by the bureaucracy, inflame Ger-
man-speaking Austrians.

Violent rioting on a near-revolutionary scale erupts not only in Bohemia but also in Vienna and Graz.

The Badeni government falls.

Because no effective majority can be assembled in the polarized parliament, the government increasingly uses emergency provisions that allow the emperor to enact laws when parliament is not in session.
