Gyula Andrassy was born on March 8, 1823. He was the son of Count Károly Andrássy and Etelka Szapáry, he was born in Oláhpatak (now in Rožňava District, Slovakia), Kingdom of Hungary. The son of a liberal father who belonged to the political opposition, at a time when opposing the government was very dangerous.
Andrassy entered the Hungarian Diet in 1847. He commanded a battalion in the revolt against Austria of 1848–49.
Fleeing into exile on Hungary’s surrender, he was condemned in absentia to death and was hanged in effigy, but he obtained an amnesty in 1857 and returned. Andrássy thereafter supported Ferenc Deák in the negotiations leading to the dualist compromise of 1867. Appointed Hungarian prime minister and defense minister (Feb. 17, 1867), he was largely responsible for the final constitutional negotiations between Austria and Hungary.
Viewing the Slavs as a threat to his country, Andrassy became a staunch supporter of dualism and opposed Karl Siegmund von Hohenwart’s scheme (1871) to raise the constitutional status of the lands of the Bohemian crown. He further cultivated relations with Germany as a counterweight to Russia and opposed the destruction of Turkey, which would have resulted in tremendous gains for the Slavic powers. On his insistence, Austria remained neutral during the Franco-German War of 1870–71.
When Emperor Francis Joseph abandoned his policy of revenge against Prussia, Andrássy became Austro-Hungarian foreign minister (Nov. 14, 1871). During his tenure Austria-Hungary’s international position was strengthened considerably. He tried to avoid an increase in the monarchy’s Slavic population, but, to prevent Russia from profiting alone from the Balkan crisis beginning in 1875, he agreed at the Congress of Berlin (1878) to Austria’s occupation of Bosnia and Hercegovina. This act, highly unpopular in both Austria and Hungary, contributed to his decision to resign (Oct. 8, 1879). The previous day, however, he signed the fateful Austro-German alliance that was to link these two great powers until the end of World War I.
In the last years of his life he regained his popularity, and his death on 18 February 1890, aged 66, was mourned as a national calamity.
Gyula Andrássy was a Hungarian statesman, who served as Prime Minister of Hungary and subsequently as Foreign Minister of Austria-Hungary who was 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.

After his retirement, Andrassy remained in public life as a member of Hungary’s upper house. He was also a member of the House of Representatives.
Personally he was the most amiable of men, he united in himself the Magyar magnate with the modern gentleman.
By his wife, the countess Katinka Kendeffy, whom he married in Paris in 1856, Count Andrássy left two sons, and one daughter, Ilona (b. 1858). Both the sons gained distinction in Hungarian politics.
The eldest, Tivadar Andrássy (Theodore Andreas) (born 10 July 1857), was elected vice-president of the Lower House of the Hungarian parliament in 1890. The younger, Gyula (born 30 June 1860), also had a successful political career.
Gyula Andrassy's granddaughter, Klara, married the Hungarian nobleman and industrialist Prince Karoly Odescalchi.
According to common legend, Count Andrássy had a long lasting romance with Elisabeth, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, also known as Sisi, who was the wife of Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria-Hungary. Some rumored that Sisi's fourth child had been fathered by Andrassy. There is no evidence for this, and the rumor may have evolved due to the devotion of both Sisi and Count Andrassy towards Hungary, its culture and national customs (they were both fluent in Hungarian and regarded Hungarian poetry highly), and the amount of time they spent together in mutual pursuit of their dreams for Hungary.
Count Andrassy had four granddaughters, Klara above, Barbara, married Marquis Pallavicini, Katalin married Count Mihaly Karolyi and Ilona. war widow of Prince Paul Esterhazy, remarried Count Jozsef Cziraky.
