Close-up of the monument to Hungarian Count Gyula Andrassy (1823-1890) next to the Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest, Hungary
Count Gyula Andrassy de Csikszentkiraly et Krasznahorka (8 March 1823 - 18 February 1890) was a Hungarian statesman, who served as Prime Minister of Hungary (1867-1871) and subsequently as Foreign Minister of Austria-Hungary (1871-1879). Andrássy was a conservative; his foreign policies looked to expanding the Empire into Southeast Europe, preferably with British and German support, and without alienating Turkey. He saw Russia as the main adversary, because of its own expansionist policies toward Slavic and Orthodox areas. He distrusted Slavic nationalist movements as a threat to his multi-ethnic empire.
