Tisza, Kálmán

Tisza, Kálmán

▪ Hungarian statesman
born Dec. 16, 1830, Geszt, Hung., Austrian Empire
died March 23, 1902, Budapest

      Hungarian statesman and longtime premier who led the coalition that ruled Hungary for the last 30 years of his life. He made his country a strong, unified, and economically viable state within the Austro-Hungarian system of dual government.

      A member of an old Calvinist landowning family, Tisza participated in the first Hungarian parliamentary government during the Revolution of 1848–49. Exiled after the restoration of Austrian rule, he returned to Hungary and took a major part in the struggle for Hungarian national autonomy within the Austro-Hungarian system of dual government. At a time of economic crisis and internal debate over Hungary's continued acceptance of the Austro-Hungarian Ausgleich (German: “Compromise”) of 1867, Tisza changed sides in 1875 and undertook to maintain the Ausgleich. Toward this end he succeeded in fusing the often contradictory interests of the nobility, business, and the small landowners into the new Liberal Party, which supported the Ausgleich and through which he served as prime minister of Hungary during much of 1875–90. As prime minister Tisza instituted social, political, economic, and legal reforms that became the basis for Hungary's development as a modern nation. Tisza resigned in 1890, protesting at alleged interference from the Austrian emperor, but to his death he retained political preeminence in his party.
