Fatherland? Only a fool can call the land Father. It's motherland. It's "szülőföld" = birthing place / anyaföld = female. U throw in the seeds and it takes care of them. By the way most of the Hungarian words have 2 meanings at least: szülő = parent the person who is giving birth = mother. Sun = father (Sol Iustitiae) = male, Moon = female (Hold = mirror of the truth = Holy Mary) also Hónap (Holdnap = 28 days which is also the cycle of a woman approx) Esztendő (year) = Istenidő (God's time) and there is much much more :D - 'cos it's a very ancient language.

Yes! And the many Poles who fought with us in 1848 are always in our hearts and we consider them Hungarian, in fact more Hungarian than even Hungarians because they gave their lives for this land even though some of them did not even speak our language. Greetings to Polish brothers from Hungary.

Thanks for a video about Hungarian history, and also for the attention for details! Keep it up! Not even in scholarly literature have I seen such a detailed description of troop movemnents; and the political contexts is also well briefed. You could check the pronunciation of Hungarian and Croatian names. :) The 51K vs 17K might be inflated, possibly you counted all personel (even Roth division) for Croatia and only the directly involved troops for Hungary. Although both sides retreated after the battle, politically it was a great victory for Hungary, as the revolution survived, and the military had more time to prepare. Still the the Hungarian Army day is celebrated on 29th of September as commemoration to this battle.

No, according to the best specialist of the 1848-49, Hermann Róbert, the Croatian troops which were near the battlefield were these: - 1. division led by Lieutenant General Karl Hartlieb with 14,108 soldiers and 12 cannons, - 2. division led by Major General Johann Kempen von Fichtenstamm with 15,389 soldiers and 12 cannons, - 3. division led by Major General Johann Schmidl with 20,961 soldiers and 36 cannons, This makes in total: 50,458[ soldiers and 60 cannons. Because of the fact that Hartlieb arrived too late, only the second and 3. divisions fought in the battle, with 36,350 soldiers and 48 cannons. But from the initial 17,516 soldiers and 46 cannons at their disposition, the Hungarians involved in the battle only 10,444 soldiers and 36 cannons. So it was more than 3 to 1 Croatian superiority among the troops which effectively participated in the battle. The troops of Major General Karl Roth of 9,000 soldiers and 12 cannons were far away, heading towards Székesfehérvár, but they never arrived. So the total number of the Croatian troops which attacked Hungary was around 59, 458 soldiers and 72 cannons. Hermann Róbert's article about the battle with the exact number of troops on both sides is this: Hermann, Róbert (2010), "A pákozdi csata. 1848 szeptember 29", Hadtörténelmi Közlemények 2014 (volume 127, nr. 2)

Amazing, can't wait to see more of the series.

I'm so hyped for this series! I really, really wish you will gave the same kind of love to this series as you gave to the Frederick the Great one! 6:28 Formation of a *responsible* government. Hungary had a government prior too (headed by the Palatine), but it was not subject to scrutiny from the parliament and lacked designated ministries. Otherwise, your description of Hungary's status within the Habsburg Monarchy is more or less on point. I would only suggest not using the term Austrian Empire when referring to the entirety of the Habsburg Monarchy, since Hungary was legally and administratively a completely separate entity from Austria. In the same vein, I would also suggest not saying that the Austrian Emperor was the King of Hungary, instead I would suggest saying that the Habsburg Monarch was the Austrian Emperor and the King of Hungary at the same time. Hungary's relation to Croatia, Slavonia and Transylvania is a bit murky, but legally speaking all of them where "attached" or "partner" countries of Hungary. Transylvania was directly incorporated into Hungary Proper during the summer of 1848, but the rest retained this status. Lastly, I would also suggest not using the term Budapest, since Budapest didn't exist at the time. Well, technically you could say Budapest, but I would suggest spelling it "Buda-Pest" in the subtitles. Alternatively, you could say either "Buda and Pest", or "Pest-Buda" (afaik this last one is the most widely used term for the twin cities in this period). With all that being said, thank you so much for covering this conflict. I really hope you will do it justice!

In this battle the Hungarians too had very low value troops. Like half of them were national guards and militias, many of them using scythes instead of riffles. We can say that the only professional forces were the Austrian units fighting on both sides. This is why they, did not understand what is happening, and felt caught in the middle, and tried to make ceise fire several times during the battle. They simply did not want to fight against those who some weeks earlier were their own comrades. After this battle Jelacic sent home his unprofessional troops, and was reinforced with more Austrian units, his troops becoming like half Croatian half Austrian, while the new Hungarian commander, Artúr Görgei sent home his unprofessional troops only after the battle of Schwechat, when they started routing after the first Austrian cannon balls hit them.

I loved the video! If my opinion is of any use tho, I think you should try and animate each unit block individually instead of groups of four (tho it's not essential and I understand animation is quite difficult, your work is great btw) and imo, having the units wobble a little while in melee combat was a really cool thing you did in the older videos! (Many people don't add that detail and it makes everything so much more smooth)

It’s always weird to me when there are numerous instances of “fierce fighting” but then the casualty numbers are low.

Croats and Hungarians fought countless battles together against Ottomans to the last man,so this sounds more like a quarrel.

Great job

(although learning is a bit much, it got mentioned) And it left me wondering: "how on earth does this country still exist, and how could the Habsburgs stay not just in power over austria, but the majority time of the HRE when all you ever hear is them loosing a battle. As for "political games" the major game i know of was to focus on marry their children off to other rulers to avoid wars and gain allies or territory. Their family motto could be translated to "others may wage wars, you lucky austria marry". btw.: WW1 and 2 were covered in school mainly by telling us "we started them, we are the bad ones, and our side commited the worse war crimes ever". No details on the wars themselves, just a focus on the last two parts. So all i know about WW1 and 2 i had to read up after school in actual books, articles, and by using YT videos of professional and hobby historians.

Having the funds to train them and arm them, as well as the knowledge to lead the peasants was a duty only a noble could do. So you dont know about the many peasant revolutions that just ended in slaughter, because they are local history.

Well, the Croatians were those who attacked. It was not about the absence of will to fight, but rather the fact that both the Croatian and the Hungarian armies were formed by so-called indisciplined popular insurrectionists, militias, and volunteers, who did not know what is a battle. So they were brave until the first shoots started, then lost the will to fight immediately, and got panicked when the first enemy cannonballs started to hit them.

Pretty detailed, only the conclusion is not clear - why they concluded a ceasefire, why Jelacic didn't renew the attack when he received the troops that were lagging behind, and what was his reasoning to withdraw.

Thank you for the video, but allow me a couple of comments: It was strange to hear that the outcome of the battle was in doubt, because after the battle, Jelasic fled to Vienna and left the country, and his auxiliaries and about 8,000 people were surrounded by the Hungarians at Ozora a few days later and the Croats laid down their arms. This was a clear Croatian defeat, Jelesic fled to Vienna, while he originally wanted to go to Budapest (or Pest-Buda). By the way, Pákozd really wasn't a big battle, and this was mostly due to the cowardice of Jelasic and the Croats, who, despite being twice as strong, fled the country instead. After that, the war lasted for more than a year with much bloodier battles, and I hope the makers will work on them in such detail, in which case there will be about 20 more episodes of the series. The brave fighters of the Hungarian War of Independence deserve that others also know their story, and that the story of the war should not only be known in the Carpathian Basin. Thank you.

After the battle, which it self was barely more then a exchange of fire, their was a 3 day truce. In the evening after the battle Hungarians orderd a general retreat and in the darkness, mistakenly fired upon one anouther. Anyway, Jelačić retreated because he feared an anti-Austrian populace to the south woud revolt, so his army woud be encircled so he marches northwest to establish communication with Vienna, while the Hungarians didn’t persue the marching army with their cavalry. Considering the casuelties numbered less then 100 in a battle of over 60,000 this was less of a military victory and more of a moral one

The Serbians killer 2800 Hungarians from Zenta in January 1849, cut their heads, and made a pyramid from them. In many other towns and villages the Serbians killed and massacred other thousands of Hungarians, women and chhildren alike, that you have no right to say a word here. And not to forget the thousands of massacred Hungarians by the Serbians during after 1526 by Black Yovan, during the Rákóczi freedom war between 1703-1711, or the 40 000 Hungarians killed Bt Tito's partizans in the WW2.

So you're from Novi Sad, a city that (had it - along with the entire Vojvodina/Vajdaság - stayed within Hungary) would have been kept safe from the Balkan conflict in the 1990s, the one conflict that actually affected your life (and your family's life) the most. But Hungarians bad. Okay...

I think its a stretch to say that the 1848 revolution was just about hungarian power. The finance minister was czech (Franz Duschek), the justice minister was serbian (Sava Vuković, his family is from your town), and 7 out of the 13 executed revolutionary military leaders were not ethnic hungarians.

Long live the Emperor, down with the traitors!

Transylvania was part of the Hungarian kingdom for centuries, and after the Turkish conquest it was a semi-independent principality under Hungarian control. After the expulsion of the Turks, the Habsburgs treated it as a separate province, but the Hungarian and Székely people always wanted to unite with Hungary, considering that Transylvania always belonged to Hungary, just look at the maps. No need to lie. The fact that the Romanians don't like it is still the truth.

The Transylvanian Diet voted the union with Hungary. Only the Austrians did not want Transylvania to be part of Hungary, this is why the Austrian military commanders of Transylvania (remember from the video, that the Habsburgs sent the Hungarian soldiers out of Hungary while Austrians and other foreign troops were sent in), Lieutenant General Anton Puchner and Karl Urban made anti-Hungarian propaganda and started the Romanian and Saxon revolt. Karl Urban was the commander of the Romanian border guard regiments from Transylvania, which he ordered to attack the Hungarians. Of course, except for Székely border guard regiment, it was no Hungarian troop in Transylvania to counter this, because they were sent to Austria, Italy, Galitia, etc, while the Austrian troops of Puchner and the Romanian border guards, supported by the peasant revolts stirred by them took control over Transylvania, except some Székely regions, like Háromszék, which heroically repulsed their attacks. In the other parts, the Hungarian civilians were massacred by thousands. Until the Hungarians counter-attacked led by General Bem.

@@johnDoe-st9pjThey did nothing peculiar to them. Or if you know something which I do not, please write. Yes, many Romanians were serfs, like many Hungarians as well. The Romanian serfs from Transylvania lived better than those from Moldavia or Wallachia, this is why many Romanian peasants fled to Transylvania from the two voivodships. And in Moldavia and Wallachia, the Gypsies were slaves like those from the American South. Moldavia and Wallachia were the only slave-holding states in Europe in the 19th century. And you say that Hungary behaved badly with the Romanians? The serfhood in Transylvania was not a nation or race-specific institution, because many Hungarians were serfs as well, but the slavery in Moldavia and Wallachia was ethnic and race-specific...
