On 4 April, in Tapio Bichke, Pest, Hungary, people dressed in costumes recreated the scene of the Battle of Tapio Bichke, which took place here on 4 April 1849.
Here, on 4 April 1849, the Hungarian army defeated the armies of the Austrian Habsburgs and won a victory during the revolutionary and freedom struggle of 1848-1849. In 1848, the Hungarian people, under the leadership of the revolutionary leaders Kossut and Petëfi, waged a struggle for national freedom and independence. In April 1849, the Hungarian Parliament adopted the Declaration of Independence, which abolished the austrian Habsburg monarchy in Hungary and established the Hungarian Republic. This revolutionary struggle, which lasted for more than a year, was stifled by the Austrian and Tsarist armies, but left a glorious page in Hungarian history.
