Due to the movements in 1848 Habsburg empire was formed as dual Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
Most of Croatia was a part of Hungarian half, but Dalmatia, islands and Istria were in Austrian.
Vojna Krajina was a part of Croatia under direct military government from Vienna forming a bulwark toward Ottomans. As a danger of Turks disappeared, it was slowly incorporated in Croatia.
Austro-Hungarian troops entered Bosnia & Herzegovina in 1878, and formed joint military government there. It is to note that in this time B&H was given the two corridors to the sea north and south of Dubrovnik area.
Further east and south Serbia and Montenegro gained independence from Turkey.
