How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved by Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918 but, 1918. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
It was dissolved with the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918, but the title of Duke of Troppau and Jägerndorf still exists, belonging to a present-day monarch, Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein.
