 The "common monarchy" consisted of the emperor-king and the common ministers of foreign affairs, defense and finance in Vienna.The Compromise confirmed Croatia-Slavonia's historic, eight-centuries-old relationship with Hungary and perpetuated the division of the Croat lands, for both Dalmatia and Istria remained under Austrian administration (as Kingdom of Dalmatia and Margraviate of Istria).At Franz Joseph's insistence, Hungary and Croatia reached the Compromise (or "Nagodba" in Croatian) in 1868, giving the Croats a special status in Hungary.
