The Austro-Hungarian Ausgleich/Kiegyezés/Compromise of 1867 exerted a significant influence on the Irish Home Rule campaign of the 1880s. This chapter discusses its impact, looking at a wide variety of newspaper publications in which the case for Home Rule was presented in relation to the 1867 Compromise. I consider some early instances of comparisons drawn between the Irish-English relation and Austro-Hungarian relations during the 1870s before turning to Charles Stewart Parnell’s invocation of Austria-Hungary as the example for a Home Rule settlement between Ireland and England. I address the variety of opinions on the topic that circulated in the English press during the British General Election of 1885. This chapter also examines reactions to Irish Home Rule in the Hungarian press during the lead-up to the First Home Rule Bill of June 1886. There was no uniform rejection of the comparisons made between Ireland and Hungary but a variety of opinions on the topic. This chapter also directs attention to the Ausgleich as cited in Westminster parliamentary speeches during the lead-up to the First Home Rule Bill of June 1886. Most significant is the change in attitude of Liberal Party leader, William Gladstone, to the example of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, coming to accept it as a viable pretext for Home Rule.
