The repression of Protestants and the land …
Years: 1684 - 1827
The repression of Protestants and the land seizures embitters the Hungarians, and in 1703 a peasant uprising sparks an eight-year national rebellion aimed at casting off the Habsburg yoke.
Disgruntled Protestants, peasants, and soldiers unite under Ferenc Rakoczi, a Roman Catholic magnate who can hardly speak Hungarian.
Most of Hungary soon supports Rakoczi, and the joint Hungarian-Transylvanian Diet votes to annul the Habsburgs' right to the throne.
Fortunes turns against the rebels, however, when the Habsburgs make peace in the West and turn their full force against Hungary.
The rebellion ends in 1711, when moderate rebel leaders conclude the Treaty of Szatmar, in which the Hungarians gain little except the emperor's agreement to reconvene the Diet and to grant an amnesty for the rebels.
