The Kingdom of Hungary, sometimes referred to as Hungary under the Rákóczis to differentiate from other periods, was a state that existed from the independence of Hungary in 1711 to 1918, when it was dissolved and partitioned after its defeat in the First World War. Since 1526, Hungary was often partitioned and subjugated by its neighbors, most precisely between the Ottomans and the Holy Roman Empire, and had failed attempts to regain independence, with the Zápolya family contesting the title during the 16th and 17th centuries. With the War of Spanish Succession, Francis I, then Prince of Transylvania, led the Hungarian rebellion to independence, ultimately being elected King of Hungary.
