Editing Tyrol (state) (section)

=== 19th Century and WWI ===
In the course of the [[German mediatization]] in 1803, the [[prince-bishop]]rics of [[Prince-Bishopric of Trent|Trent]] and [[Bishopric of Brixen|Brixen]] were [[Secularization|secularized]] and merged into the County of Tyrol (which in the next year became a constituent land of the [[Austrian Empire]]), but Tyrol was ceded to the [[Kingdom of Bavaria]] in 1805. [[Andreas Hofer]] led the [[Tyrolean Rebellion]] against the French and Bavarian occupiers. Later, South Tyrol was ceded to the [[Kingdom of Italy (Napoleonic)|Kingdom of Italy]], a client state of the First French Empire, by Bavaria in 1810. After Napoleon's defeat, the whole of Tyrol was returned to Austria in 1814.

Tyrol was a [[Cisleithania]]n ''Kronland'' (royal territory) of [[Austria-Hungary]] from 1867. The County of Tyrol then extended beyond the boundaries of today's federal state, including North Tyrol and East Tyrol; South Tyrol and [[Trentino]] (''Welschtirol'') as well as three municipalities, which today are part of the adjacent province of Belluno. After [[World War&nbsp;I]], these lands became part of the [[Kingdom of Italy]] according to the 1915 [[Treaty of London (1915)|London Pact]] and the provisions of the [[Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919)|Treaty of Saint Germain]]. From November 1918, it was occupied by 20,000–22,000 soldiers of the Italian Army.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.agiati.it/UploadDocs/12255_Art_20_di_michele.pdf|title = Accademia degli Agiati}}</ref>
