Hungarian Revolution of 1848

1848-49-es forradalom és szabadságharc ("1848–49 Revolution and War" or "The Hungarian Revolution of 1848") was one of the many European Revolutions of 1848 and closely linked to other revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg areas. The revolution in the Kingdom of Hungary grew into a war for independence from the Austrian Empire, ruled by the Habsburg dynasty (House of Habsburg). The anniversary of the Revolution's outbreak, 15 March, is one of Hungary's three national holidays.
