1848 CE

The Croats, rightly fearing Hungarian chauvinism and expecting union of Croatia, Slavonia, and Dalmatia, side with Austria when Hungary rises against Austria during the pan-European revolutions of 1848.

Ban Josip Jelacic 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.
