Event: Hungarian Revolution of 1848
Topic: Justice

- In 1848, Lajos Kossuth delivered a speech to the Hungarian parliament, demanding a constitutional government for Hungary.
- The revolution spread, and the Hungarian forces, led by generals of diverse ethnic backgrounds, gained control of nearly the entire country.
- Emperor Franz Joseph requested military aid from Tsar Nicholas of Russia, who sent 190,000 soldiers into Hungary.
- Kossuth abdicated, handing command to General Artúr Görgei, who surrendered to the Russians and was subsequently exiled, not executed.
- Thirteen Hungarian generals, not under Russian protection, were tried by a military tribunal in Arad, with ten hanged and three shot due to personal ties to Prince Franz de Paula of Liechtenstein.
