At the end of the 9th century, Hungarian nomadic tribes came across the Carpathians to the Pannonian basin. That arrival marked the creation of Hungary and had significant consequences for the political history of Central Europe. That is when their contact with Croats begins. After robberies and warfare, the key step of stability was the conversion of the Hungarians to Christianity in 974. The death of the last Croatian ruler, Petar Svačić in 1097, is considered a turning point in Croatian history. With the coronation of the Hungarian king Coloman as the Croatian-Dalmatian king in 1102 in Biograd, the Croatian-Hungarian Kingdom was created, which stopped existing in 1918 with the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The Battle of Mohács in 1526 brought a major turning point in the history of Central Europe and the Croatian-Hungarian Kingdom. On January 1, 1527, the Austrian archduke Ferdinand was elected as the Croatian king. After that, the Habsburg dynasty ruled Croatia and Hungary. In the second half of the 18th century, a form of government called enlightened absolutism appeared in Europe. Empress Maria Theresa is ruling the Habsburg Monarchy, and she is implementing numerous reforms. In 1790, the Hungarian Parliament gathered in Požun. At that time, there was already resistance to Hungarians trying to win over the national state from the Carpathians to the Adriatic, after which the preparatory phase of the Croatian national revival begins. In the period 1835 – 1848, a national movement called the Croatian national revival started. The plan of the leaders of the movement was the cultural, educational and economic development of Croatia. Their program was the unification of Croatian countries and that's when the first political parties in Croatia appeared. 1848 brought the beginning of the revolution in Vienna, while in 1849 Hungarian revolution broke down. Those years are also remembered for the military activities and successes of ban Jelačić. That was the first serious military conflict between Croats and Hungarians in history. After the revolution, Bach's absolutism begins. As a consequence of the events in Europe, the Austro-Hungarian settlement was signed in 1867, which turned the single country into a dual monarchy. The name of the new state is the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Dualism represented a settlement between the emperor and the Hungarians. On September 24, 1868, the Croatian Parliament accepted the Croatian-Hungarian settlement, an intercountry deal between Croatia and Hungary, which determined the destiny of Croatia until the end of the First World War. The act consisted of 70 articles and the most frequent topic was the belonging of the city of Rijeka. On November 30, 1873, as a result of Croatian demands, the ruler revised the Settlement. In the later period, the Hungarian side continuously violated the Agreement with the aim of domination. At the end of the 19th century, the dissatisfaction of the Croatian public due to the implementation of Hungarianization escalated. The twenty-year period of Ban Khuen-Hédervárya's rule was especially difficult for the Croats. In the last decades of the Monarchy, the majority of the Croatian public strove for greater national sovereignty. The period of the 19th century in Croatia was marked by the activities of many political, military and cultural leaders, the most important of whom are Ljudevit Gaj, Ban Josip Jelačić, bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, Ante Starčević and Ban Ivan Mažuranić.
