1852 CE to 1863 CE

Austria's failures do not bode well for the anticipated conflict with Prussia over German unification, so the emperor begins to abandon absolutism and create a more viable political base.

He experiments with various arrangements designed to attract the support of the military, the Roman Catholic Church, German liberals, Hungarians, Slavs, and Jews, who are assuming a strong presence in the economic and political life of the empire.

Urgently needing to resolve the tensions with the Hungarians, the government opens secret negotiations with them in 1862.
