How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved, 1918. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
It was dissolved shortly after Hungary terminated the union with Austria in 1918 at the end of World War I.

Rulers
The line of Apostolic King of Hungary - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Franz Joseph I | 1848 – 1916 | 68 years | died in office of natural causesWikidata's manner of death | |
| Charles I of Austria | 1916 – 1918 | 2 years | left office aliveread off the dates alone |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1848 – 1918. Median reign 35 years. 1 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 36 causes the record names and 13 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.
Theories that apply to its ending
Of 3 theories of why states fall, 1 has every condition present at this ending; each is applied by its own logic, condition by condition, and whether its authors named this case is a footnote.
Demographic-structural breakdown
Goldstone 1991 · Turchin & Nefedov 2009
Applies by its own logic: 2 of its 3 conditions held here (it needs 2), and this is the kind of outcome it predicts — unrest, adverse regime change or the state's ending.
- famine, plague or disaster within 30 y in the state, or population up 25% over 50 y — prior
- a war the state is fighting, still under way, or a war the state fought, ended within 10 y — warOngoing
