Tisza, Istvan

    0.07 sec.

Tisza, Istvan (1861–1918)

Hungarian politician, prime minister of Hungary 1903–05 and 1913–17. The son of Kalman Tisza, Liberal prime minister (and virtual dictator) of Hungary 1875–90, he was a loyal supporter of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and refused to make any concessions to the demands of Slav and Romanian separatists. Tisza also strongly backed the alliance with Germany in World War I, and was assassinated by soldiers when a nationalist uprising began in Hungary on 31 October 1918.

On the death of the emperor Francis Joseph in 1916, Tisza's influence began to wane. He resigned the following year when faced with the new emperor Charles's policies of conciliation towards the Slavs and extending voting rights.
