Life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.
Hungary was ruled by the Habsburgs for most of its history, and this rule lasted until the end of the 19th century, until the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the complete demise of the Habsburgs, and the move towards freedom in Hungary.
As early as the early 19th century, Hungary was inspired by nationalist ideas and took root in every place where the Magyars lived, and the Hungarian national liberation movement made the Habsburg dynasty miserable.
The Hungarian Baujani cabinet drafted the April Decree, which was not recognized by Austria, because this decree increased the privileges of hungarians and correspondingly degraded the privileges of Croatia and Romania, which was not conducive to the balance of power of the Austrian court, which wanted to see them chasing power against each other.
The climax of the dispute between Austria and Hungary was in the middle of the 19th century, kossut consulted with imperial officials without force, but did not get any actual improvement, and the April Decree was also regarded as a mess of scrap paper, at this time Pedofi saw the miserable life of the low-level serfs in Hungary, Petofi himself was from the bottom, his mother was a serf, and he knew the hardships of the Hungarian bottom.
His family was poor, he wandered around in his early years, met many advanced intellectuals, and was influenced by the ideas of the French Revolution.
The war between them was on the verge of breaking out, and the trigger of the Austro-Hungarian war was the Croatian invasion, which was directed by Austria.
Kossut was a long-time Hungarian Minister of Finance and made an indelible contribution to the Hungarian national independence movement.
This was unacceptable not only to Kossut, but also to all Hungarians, and Remburg prepared to negotiate with Jelačić, only to be considered shameful treason by the angry masses, and the mob tortured Remburg to death.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > things have reached an uncontrollable point, and now whoever wants peace talks will become the next Lemburg. </h1>
The Hungarians achieved a brief victory at the beginning of the war, and the young Hungarian general Gorgai sang all the way and made great strides, so that the Austrian senator-level general Wendis goretz home early to retire.
In the Hungarian battlefield, Austria was defeated again and again, and Petofi was an aide-de-camp of Beim, commanding many successful battles, because at this time Austria could not open itself on the Italian battlefield, which made the Austrian emperor miserable and wanted to compromise.
As a result, Kossut not only refused all peace talks, but the victories in this series of battles completely overwhelmed Kossut's mind, and declared independence and completely severed all relations with Austria.
It is difficult to say whether this is right or wrong, but in hindsight, Kossut did wrong, because Austria sought russian help, and even if it did not seek Russia, it was only a matter of time, because on the Italian battlefield, Radetzky had already won.
Nikolai wanted to sell Franz's affection and want to infiltrate southeastern Europe, Nikolai agreed very happily, and finally under the strong encirclement and suppression of Russia, the Hungarian army was defeated by Shasberg, Kossut and Bem fled to Turkey, and Petofi was captured by the Russian army and learned about siberia for the rest of his life.
The Austrians hanged the officers involved in the rebellion, but the bloody repression did not solve any practical problems other than to create hatred.
The Hungarian question was not resolved at all, and Hungary was a passive resistance against the entire empire, and the Hungarians would not voluntarily pay any taxes unless they were persecuted.
