Slovak Uprising

Slovak Uprising

::"For the 1944 uprising, see Slovak National Uprising."The Slovak Uprising (of 1848/49) (in Slovak "Slovenské povstanie (1848/49)") or Slovak Volunteer Campaigns ("Slovenské dobrovoľnícke výpravy") was an uprising of Slovaks against Magyar (i.e. ethnic Hungarian) domination in Slovakia within the 1848/49 revolution in the Habsburg Monarchy. It lasted from September 1848 to November 1849. Slovakia was a part of the Kingdom of Hungary, which in turn was a part of the Austrian Monarchy at that time.

The uprising included three main uprisings/campaigns, the last two of which occurred in cooperation with Austrian (imperial) authorities and troops (who were also fighting the Magyars at that time). No major requests of the Slovaks were fulfilled at the end of the uprising, the authorities in Vienna only granted the Slovaks some minor language rights as a reward for the support during the revolution.

The leading personnalities of the uprising were the Slovaks Ľudovít Štúr, Jozef Miloslav Hurban, Milan Hodža and Janko Kráľ, and the Czech military leader Bedřich Bloudek.
