Hungary rises against Austria during the revolutions…

1840 CE to 1851 CE

Hungary rises against Austria during the revolutions that sweep Europe in 1848.

The Croats, rightly fearing Hungarian chauvinism and expecting union of Croatia, Slavonia, and Dalmatia, side with Austria.

Ban Josip Jelačić leads an army that attacks the Hungarian revolutionary forces.

His units soon withdraw, but Russian troops invade Hungary to crush the revolution.

Despite their loyalty to Austria, the Croats receive only the abolition of serfdom.

Rather than uniting the Slavic regions as promised, the emperor suspends the constitution and introduces absolutist rule and Germanization.
