Together with the Dragoons and Hussars, the Imperial and Royal Uhlans ((ドイツ語:k.u.k. Ulanen)), made up the cavalry of the Austro-Hungarian Army from 1867 to 1918, both in the Common Army and in the Austrian Landwehr, where they were known as the Imperial-Royal Landwehr Uhlans (''k.k. Landwehr-Ulanen''). The Austrian monarchy, weakened by the losing the war against Prussia in 1866, had to effectively guarantee the autonomy of Kingdom of Hungary in the so-called Compromise of 15 March 1867. As a result, the Hungarian half of the Empire immediately began to establish its own army, the Royal Hungarian Landwehr (Hungarian: ''Magyar Királyi Honvédség''). Following the signing of the Compromise, the Austrian half of the Empire also started to build an army, the Imperial-Royal Landwehr (German: ''k.k. Landwehr''). The two new ''Landwehr'' forces thus existed alongside the Common Army (''Gemeinsame Armee''), the imperial army of the whole Empire. In effect this meant that Austria-Hungary had three separate armies at the same time. == Organisation == The Common Army has 11 Uhlan regiments and the Austria Landwehr 6 regiments. By tradition the majority of Uhlans were recruited from the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. The regiments were also stationed there, with few exceptions. *In 1914, the Imperial and Royal Cavalry regiments each consisted of 2 divisions (battalions) each of 3 squadrons (''Eskadronen''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Imperial and Royal Uhlans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
