June 1848 CE

The Habsburg armies crush the uprising in Bohemia and check the insurrection in Italy in the course of the summer of 1848.

Alfred, Fürst du Windischgrätz, who was military governor of Bohemia when the revolutions of 1848 broke out in the Hapsburg empire, had quelled the insurrection in Vienna, but because of the pressure of public opinion he is sent back to Bohemia.

Meanwhile Prague had fallen to the revolutionists, and Windischgrätz's wife and eldest son had been killed in the insurrection.

Windischgrätz recaptures Prague in June after bombarding it and establishes a military dictatorship over Bohemia.
