A HABSBURG MONARCHIA ÉS A MAGYAR KIRÁLYSÁG HAD- ÉS PÉNZÜGYIGAZGATÁSÁNAK FEJLŐDÉSE 1076 coordinating composite state with a partly centralized military and financial administration in the one and the half centuries that followed the battle of Mohács in 1526. In its government, especially in fiscal and military affairs, the court of Vienna could not dispense with the support of local elites, and was thus in constant need of forging compromises. Nevertheless, in the quarter centuries following 1550 and then 1670, such spectacular military and fiscal transformations took place that these can be regarded as a first and second military revolution, respectively. While the first was elicited by Ottoman conquest in Hungary and mostly manifested as an administrative, organisational and technical transformation, the second, connected as it was to the emergence of a standing Habsburg army and the reform of taxation, was both quantitative and qualitative, and as such a more thorough and groundbreaking process. It was this series of mutually supportive military and financial transformations that made it possible for the Central European Habsburg power to emerge as a fiscal-military state in the eighteenth century.
