Who ruled over Czech Republic in the 1900?

In the early 1900s, the Czech Republic was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was ruled by Emperor Franz Joseph I until his death in 1916. The Czech lands, including Bohemia and Moravia, were largely governed by the Austro-Hungarian government, with local administration. The desire for independence grew during this period, culminating in the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918 after World War I.
