Years: 1840 - 1851
The imperial army captures Pest early in 1849, but the revolutionary government remains entrenched in Debrecen.
In April a "rump" Diet deposes the Habsburg Dynasty in Hungary, proclaims Hungary a republic, and names Kossuth governor with dictatorial powers.
After the declaration, Austrian reinforcements are transferred to Hungary, and in June, at Franz Joseph's request, Russian troops attack from the east and overwhelm the Hungarians.
The Hungarian army surrenders on August 13, and Kossuth escapes to the Ottoman Empire.
A period of harsh repression follows.
Batthyany and about one hundred others are shot, several society women are publicly whipped, and the government outlaws public gatherings, theater performances, display of the national colors, and wearing of national costumes and Kossuth-style beards.
