The Hungarian Revolution of 1848

In November 1847, the Pozsony Diet was opened by the emperor of the Austrian empire: Ferdinand. At that time, no one could have imagined this would be the last feudal Diet in Hungarian history. That is not to say its deputies didn’t have high hopes for Hungary - during this year the opposition stood stronger than ever. Now, during 1848 a wave of turbulent revolution swept over Europe, from France to Germany, from Austria to the Romanian Wallachia. But that the Hungarian revolution would grow into a war of independence, that could only be crushed by a massive foreign force… well, nobody expected that. Since this is a long one, timestamps are in the description as always.
