National revival for both Czechs and Slovaks …
Years: 1840 - 1851
National revival for both Czechs and Slovaks had been begun by small groups of intellectuals.
At first, the national movements were confined to discussion of language, literature, and culture, but during the revolutions of 1848, the Czechs and Slovaks make bold political demands.
The revolutions of 1848 also reveal that the German and Hungarian liberals, who are opposed to Habsburg absolutism, are equally hostile to Czech and Slovak aspirations.
It has become clear that the Czech and Slovak national movements have to contend not only with Habsburg absolutism but also with increasingly virulent German and Hungarian nationalism.
