Austrian–Hungarian War

Years: 1477 - 1488

The Austrian–Hungarian War is a military conflict between the Kingdom of Hungary under Mathias Corvinus and the Habsburg Archduchy of Austria under Frederick V (also Holy Roman Emperor as Frederick III).

The war lasts from 1477 to 1488 and results in significant gains for Matthias, which humiliate Frederick, but which will be reversed upon Matthias' sudden death in 1490.

“History is important. If you don't know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.”

—Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral ... (2004)
