CHARACTERISTICS

The term was widely used in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to distinguish the and the Grand Duchy of Transylvania . While the Diet Of Hungary opposed the separation of Transylvania (being an integral part of medieval Hungary) they unsuccesfully demanded to reestablish the historical connections with Dalmatia , Bosnia and Galicia And Lodomeria . These Cisleithanian provinces were theoretically part of the Lands of the Crown of St. Stephen according to the Hungarian point of view.

After the union with Transylvania in 1848 and 1867 the term denoted only the Kingdoms of Hungary and Croatia. On 29 October 1918 the Croatian Parliament declared the end of the union and joined the State Of Slovenes, Croats And Serbs (later the Kingdom Of Yugoslavia ). At that point the term lost its meaning and its use ceased.
