Early years[ edit ] Karolina Kossuth raised her children as strict Lutherans. As a result of his mixed ancestry, and as was quite common during his era, he spoke at least three languages â Hungarian, German and Slovak. He was subsequently dismissed on the grounds of some misunderstanding in regards to estate funds. Entry into national politics[ edit ] This section relies largely or entirely on a single source. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Please help improve this article by introducing citations to additional sources. The Diet met during â 27 and â 36 in Pressburg Pozsony, present Bratislava, then capital of Hungary. Only the upper aristocracy could vote in the House of Magnates similar to the House of Lords in Britain and Kossuth took little part in the debates. In part, it was also a struggle for economic and political reforms against the stagnant Austrian government. Orders from the Official Censor halted circulation by lithograph printing. Distribution in manuscript by post was forbidden by the government, although circulation by hand continued. In, the Diet was dissolved. Kossuth continued to report in letter form, covering the debates of the county assemblies. The newfound publicity gave the assemblies national political prominence. His embellishment of the speeches from the liberals and reformers enhanced the impact of his newsletters. After the prohibition of his parliamentary gazette, Kossuth loudly demanded the legal declaration of freedom of the press and of speech in Hungary and in the entire Habsburg Empire. His strict confinement damaged his health, but he was allowed to read. He greatly increased his political knowledge, and also acquired, from the study of the Bible and Shakespeare, a thorough knowledge of English. The Diet, which reconvened in, demanded the release of the prisoners, and refused to pass any government measures. Austrian prime minister Metternich long remained obdurate, but the danger of war in obliged him to give way. They had three children: Journalist and political leader[ edit ] This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. July Learn how and when to remove this template message Kossuth had now become a national icon. The paper achieved unprecedented success, soon reaching the then immense circulation of copies. Kossuth followed the ideas of the French nation state ideology, which was a ruling liberal idea of his era. Accordingly, he considered and regarded automatically everybody as "Hungarian" -regardless of their mother tongue and ethnic ancestry - who were born and lived in the territory of Hungary. There must be one language and in Hungary this must be Hungarian". Kossuth, undaunted, did not stop at the publicly reasoned reforms demanded by all Liberals: He went on to broach the possibility of separating from Austria. By combining this nationalism with an insistence on the superiority of the Hungarian culture to the culture of Slavonic inhabitants of Hungary, he sowed the seeds of both the collapse of Hungary in and his own political demise. It is believed that the dispute was rooted in government intrigue. Kossuth was unable to obtain permission to start his own newspaper. In a personal interview, Metternich offered to take him into the government service. Kossuth refused and spent the next three years without a regular position. He continued to agitate on behalf of both political and commercial independence for Hungary. He also argued for the creation of a Hungarian port at Fiume Rijeka. In autumn, Kossuth was able to take his final key step. His eloquence was of that nature, in its impassioned appeals to the strongest emotions, that it required for its full effect the highest themes and the most dramatic situations. In a time of rest, though he could never have been obscure, he would never have attained the highest power. It was therefore a necessity of his nature, perhaps unconsciously, always to drive things to a crisis. The crisis came, and he used it to the full. Kossuth believed that society could not be forced into a passive role by any reason through social change. According to Kossuth, the wider social movements can not be continually excluded from political life. Minister of Finance[ edit ] The crisis came, and he used it to the full. On 3 March, shortly after the news of the revolution in Paris had arrived, in a speech of surpassing power he demanded Page 1

2 parliamentary government for Hungary and constitutional government for the rest of Austria. He appealed to the hope of the Habsburgs, "our beloved Archduke Franz Joseph " then seventeen years old, to perpetuate the ancient glory of the dynasty by meeting half-way the aspirations of a free people. He at once became the leader of the European revolution; his speech was read aloud in the streets of Vienna to the mob which overthrew Metternich 13 March ; when a deputation from the Diet visited Vienna to receive the assent of Emperor Ferdinand to their petition, Kossuth received the chief ovation. While Viennese masses celebrated Kossuth as their hero, revolution broke out in Buda on 15 March; Kossuth traveled home immediately. On 23 March, Pm. In the new government Kossuth was appointed as the Minister of Finance. He began developing the internal resources of the country: Much more was this the case when, in the summer, the dangers from the Croats, Serbs and the reaction at Vienna increased. In a speech on 11 July he asked that the nation should arm in self-defense, and demanded, men; amid a scene of wild enthusiasm this was granted by acclamation. However the danger had been exacerbated by Kossuth himself through appealing exclusively to the Magyar notables rather than including the other subject minorities of the Habsburg empire too. The Austrians, meanwhile, successfully used the other minorities as allies against the Magyar uprising. Regent-President of Hungary[ edit ] For the first time in the revolutionary movements of, for the first time since, a nation surrounded by superior counterrevolutionary forces dares to counter the cowardly counterrevolutionary fury by revolutionary passion, the terreur blanche by the terreur rouge. For the first time after a long period we meet with a truly revolutionary figure, a man who in the name of his people dares to accept the challenge of desperate struggle, who for his nation is Danton and Carnot in one person -- Lajos Kossuth â Friedrich Engels about Kossuth January [25] From this time he had increased amounts of power. The direction of the whole government was in his hands. Without military experience, he had to control and direct the movements of armies; he was unable to keep control over the generals or to establish that military co-operation so essential to success. Twice Kossuth removed him from command; twice he had to restore him. At the end of the year, when the Austrians were approaching Pest, he asked for the mediation of Stiles, the American envoy. The new Emperor revoked all the concessions granted in March and outlawed Kossuth and the Hungarian government, set up lawfully on the basis of the April laws. By April, when the Hungarians had won many successes, after sounding the army, he issued the celebrated Hungarian Declaration of Independence, in which he declared that "the house of Habsburg-Lorraine, perjured in the sight of God and man, had forfeited the Hungarian throne. The dethronement also made any compromise with the Habsburgs practically impossible. For the time the future form of government was left undecided, and Kossuth was appointed regent-president to satisfy both royalists and republicans. Kossuth played a key role in tying down the Hungarian army for weeks for the siege and recapture of Buda castle, finally successful on 4 May Reprisals were taken on the rest of the Hungarian army, including the execution of the 13 Martyrs of Arad. It was the first law which recognized minority rights in Europe. Kossuth accepted some national demands of the Romanians and the Croats, but he showed no understanding for the requests of the Slovaks. A solitary fugitive, he crossed the Ottoman frontier. He was hospitably received by the Ottoman authorities, who, supported by the British, refused, notwithstanding the threats of the allied emperors, to surrender him and other fugitives to Austria. There, he was joined by his children, who had been confined at Pressburg present-day Bratislava ; his wife a price had been set on her head had joined him earlier, having escaped in disguise. Kossuth protested publicly, and officials saw that as a blatant disregard for the neutral position of the United States. The Magyar asked to leave the Mississippi at Gibraltar. On 23 October, Kossuth landed at Southampton and spent three weeks in England, where he was generally feted. After his arrival, the press characterized the atmosphere of the streets of London as this: Having learned English during an earlier political imprisonment with the aid of a volume of Shakespeare, his spoken English was "wonderfully archaic" and theatrical. The City of London Corporation accompanied him in procession through the City, and the way to the Guildhall was lined by thousands of cheering people. He went thereafter to Winchester, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham ; at Birmingham the crowd that gathered to see him ride under the triumphal arches erected for his visit was described, even by Page 2

3 his severest critics, as 75, individuals. Many leading British politicians tried to suppress the so-called "Kossuth mania" in Britain without any success, the Kossuth mania proved to be unstoppable. When The Times tried to fiercely attack Kossuth, the copies of the newspaper were publicly burnt in public houses, coffee houses, and in other public spaces throughout the country. Some twelve thousand "respectable artisans" formed a parade at Russell Square and marched out to meet him. When Palmerston upped the ante by receiving at his house, instead of Kossuth, a delegation of Trade Unionists from Islington and Finsbury and listened sympathetically as they read an address that praised Kossuth and declared the Emperors of Austria and Russia "despots, tyrants and odious assassins", [41] it was noted as a mark of indifference to royal displeasure. In, Kossuth toured Scotland extensively, giving lectures in major cities and small towns alike. Thus immediately previous to the Christmas of New York city underwent a period of Kossuth mania, and it affected the holiday presents. Restaurants abounded with Hungarian goulash, a savory dish of boiled beef and vegetables, strongly infused with red peppers; and there were Kossuth cravats formidable bands of satin or silk wound around the neck, with ends liberally folded over the shirt front, Kossuth pipes, Kossuth umbrellas, Kossuth belts and buckles, Kossuth purses, Kossuth jackets, and Kossuth braid and tassels for wearing apparel The American Museum on Broadway "was literally covered with paintings and flags. One, a portrait of Kossuth, in the folds of Hungarian and American flags, with the words at the bottom: The US Congress organized a banquet for Kossuth, which was supported by all political parties. He would not denounce slavery or stand up for the Catholic Church, and when Kossuth declared George Washington had never intended for the policy of noninterference to serve as constitutional dogma, he caused further defection. Luckily for him, it was unknown then that he entertained a proposal to raise 1, mercenaries, who would overthrow Haiti with officers from the US Army and Navy. Kossuth ruined all chances for backing when he openly recommended to German Americans they should choose Franklin Pierce for President. The gaffe brought him back to London in July Early the next year, he sent Ferenc Pulszky to meet with Pierce to obtain support for intervention in Europe. Pulszky was to also meet in secret with Lt. The plot ended with the failure of Milanese revolution, and Kossuth made no further efforts to win backing from the United States. Italy[ edit ] Attempted leadership in exile[ edit ] Gradually, his autocratic style and uncompromising outlook destroyed any real influence among the expatriate community. Page 3

Unrest broke out in Hungary on March 15, when radicals and students stormed the Buda fortress to release political prisoners. These so-called April Laws created independent Hungarian ministries of defense and finance, and the new government claimed the right to issue currency through its own central bank. Guilds lost their privileges; the nobles became subject to taxation; entail, tithes, and the corvee were abolished; some peasants became freehold proprietors of the land they worked; freedom of the press and assembly were created; a Hungarian national guard was established; and Transylvania was brought under Hungarian rule. The non-magyar ethnic groups in Hungary feared the nationalism of the new Hungarian government, and Transylvanian Germans and Romanians opposed the incorporation of Transylvania into Hungary. The Vienna government enlisted the minorities in the first attempt to overthrow the Hungarian government. Josip Jelacic--a fanatic anti-hungarian--became governor of Croatia on March 22 and severed relations with the Hungarian government a month later. The Austrians ordered the Hungarian diet to dissolve, but the order went unheeded. In September Jelacic led an army into Hungary. Batthyany resigned, and a mob lynched the imperial commander in Pest. A committee of national defense under Kossuth took control, authorized the establishment of a Hungarian army, and issued paper money to fund it. In December Ferdinand abdicated in favor of Franz Joseph, who claimed more freedom of action because, unlike Ferdinand, he had given no pledge to respect the April Laws. The Magyars, however, refused to recognize him as their king because he was never crowned. The imperial army captured Pest early in, but the revolutionary government remained entrenched in Debrecen. In April a "rump" Diet deposed the Habsburg Dynasty in Hungary, proclaimed Hungary a republic, and named Kossuth governor with dictatorial powers. A period of harsh repression followed. Batthyany and about others were shot, several society women were publicly whipped, and the government outlawed public gatherings, theater performances, display of the national colors, and wearing of national costumes and Kossuth-style beards. Franz Joseph divided the country into four distinct territories: Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia-Slavonia, and Vojvodina. German and Bohemian administrators managed the government, and German became the language of administration and higher education. The non-magyar minorities of Hungary received little for their support of Austria during the turmoil. A Croat reportedly told a Hungarian: Ferencz Deak became the main advocate for accommodation. He also held that the dethronement of the Habsburgs was invalid. As long as Austria ruled absolutely, Deak argued, Hungarians should do no more than passively resist illegal demands. The defeat convinced Franz Joseph that national and social opposition to his government was too strong to be managed by decree from Vienna. Gradually he recognized the necessity of concessions toward Hungary, and Austria and Hungary thus moved toward a compromise. In the Prussians defeated the Austrians, further underscoring the weakness of the Habsburg Empire. Negotiations between the emperor and the Hungarian leaders were intensified and finally resulted in the Compromise of, which created the Dual Monarchy of Austra-Hungary, also known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In another of his works, Catechism of People and Citizens, he argued that citizens tend to oppose any repression and that sovereignty resides with the people. He also became a Freemason, and was in favour of the adoption of a federal republic in Hungary. As a member of the Hungarian Jacobins, he was considered an idealistic forerunner of revolutionary thought by some, and an unscrupulous adventurer by others. He was in charge of stirring up a revolt against the nobility among the Hungarian serfs. He was executed, together with six other prominent Jacobins, in May But beneath the surface a strong popular current was beginning to run in a contrary direction. Hungarian society, not unaffected by western Liberalism, but without any direct help from abroad, was preparing for the future emancipation. Writers, savants, poets, artists, noble and plebeian, layman and cleric, without any previous concert, or obvious connection, were working towards that ideal of political liberty which was to unite all the Magyars. In Emperor Francis II convened the Diet in response to growing concerns amongst the Hungarian nobility about taxes and the diminishing economy, after the Napoleonic wars. In, when the reactionary powers were considering joint action to suppress the revolution in Spain, the government, without consulting the diet, imposed a war-tax and called out the recruits. The county assemblies instantly protested against this illegal act, and Francis I was obliged, at the diet of, to repudiate the action of his ministers. But the estates felt that the maintenance of their liberties demanded more substantial guarantees than the dead letter of ancient laws. For years he and his friends educated public opinion by issuing innumerable pamphlets in which the new Liberalism was eloquently expounded. Society itself must take the initiative by breaking down the barriers of class exclusiveness and reviving a healthy public spirit. In the Upper House, however, the magnates united with the government to form a conservative party obstinately opposed to any project of reform, which frustrated all the efforts of the Liberals. But the nation was no longer to be cowed. From AD up to, Latin language was the official language of administration, legislation and schooling in Kingdom of Hungary. The results of the diet of did not satisfy the advanced Liberals, while the opposition of the government and of the Upper House still further embittered the general discontent. The tone of this diet was passionate, and the government was fiercely attacked for interfering with the elections. Fresh triumphs were won by the Liberals. Magyar was now declared to be the language of the schools and the law-courts as well as of the legislature; mixed marriages were legalized; and official positions were thrown open to non-nobles. Kossuth, for his part, rejected the role of the aristocracy, and questioned established norms of social status. He warned against attempting to exclude wider social movements from political life, and supported democracy, rejecting the primacy of elites and the government. Civil and religious equality before the law. The abolition of separate laws for the common people and nobility, the abolition of the legal privileges of nobility, the abolition of Catholic state religion National Guard. A forming of their own Hungarian national guard Joint share of tax burdens. The army to swear to support the constitution, our soldiers should not be sent to abroad, and foreign soldiers should leave our country. The freeing of political prisoners. With Transylvania [17] The ensuing parliamentary elections resulted in a complete victory of the Progressives. This was also the last election which was based on the parliamental system of the old feudal estates. All efforts to bring about an understanding between the government and the opposition were fruitless. Kossuth demanded not merely the redress of actual grievances, but a liberal reform which would make grievances impossible in the future. On 3 March, shortly after the news of the revolution in Paris had arrived, in a speech of surpassing power he demanded parliamentary government for Hungary and constitutional government for the rest of Austria. He appealed to the hope of the Habsburgs, "our beloved Page 5

A mass demonstration was held in front of the newly built National Museum, after which the group left for the Buda Chancellery the Office of the Governor-General on the other bank of the Danube. The bloodless mass demonstrations in Pest and Buda forced the Imperial governor to accept all twelve of their demands. The Austrian monarchy also made other concessions[ which?

7 Chapter 4 : Austrian Empire Hungary Revolution Full text of "Louis Kossuth and the lost revolutions in Hungary and transylvania containing a detailed biography of the leader of the Magyar movement" See other formats. Lajos Louis Kossuth is perhaps the most esteemed leader in Hungarian history and one of the least respected in the neighboring countries of Europe. This was because he attempted to combine a liberal, reformist program with activist nationalism. Like all nobles, the Kossuths belonged to the exclusive Natio Hungarica, which denoted status and privilege more than nationality. He also hoped to turn them into Hungarian patriots and, if possible, Hungarian speakers. Yet even his own mother was a German speaker from the neighboring Zipser German settlement. Latinâ then still the language of administration, politics, as well as education in Hungaryâ and law, which, among other things, qualified one for office in the fifty-odd noble-run county administrations. Ironically, it was this incidentâ in which he seems to have been guilty at least of negligenceâ that catapulted him into national politics, his liberal patrons having sent him to represent an absentee aristocrat in the National Diet. Once there, Kossuth defied censorship by writing his own dietal or parliamentary reports, which students copied by hand and which were widely distributed. He thus became one of the first noblemen to earn a living as a journalist, an endeavor made possible by his talent and the political ferment in the country. The trouble was that the king was also emperor of Austria, with manifold interests in Europe, and that the Natio Hungarica preferred the politics of grievances to much-needed economic, social, and administrative reforms. Gentlemen,â In ascending the tribune to demand of you to save our country, the awful magnificence of the moment weighs oppressively on my bosom. I feel as if God had placed into my hands the trumpet to arouse the dead, thatâ if still sinners and weakâ they may not relapse into eternal death, but that they may wake for eternity, if any vigor of life be yet in them. Thus, at this moment, stands the fate of the nation. No; we ask for your vote for the preservation of the country! And I would ask you, gentlemen, if anywhere in the country a breast sighs for liberation, or a wish waits for its fulfillment, let the breast suffer for a while, let that wish have a little patience, until we have saved the country. This is my request! If your energy equals your patriotism, I will make bold to say, that even the gates of hell shall not prevail against Hungary! It is quoted as note 9 in the appendix of William H. New York, Reprint, New York,, vol. Stiles was the U. First a very junior partner among the greats, Kossuth gradually assumed more importance by controlling a part of public opinion. When the session of the diet ended in, he turned to writing and editing the municipal reports, which dealt with the work of the county assemblies. In he was arrested and charged with disloyalty and sedition; he spent three years in jail, which not only allowed him to learn the basis of his later magnificent English but also made him a national martyr. Yet by, when he was finally removed from his post, Kossuth had brought the country closer to revolution and had, incidentally, also done much for the rejuvenation of the Hungarian language. They had a daughter and two sons; of the two, Ferenc would become an influential politician, less because of his talent than because of his name. As political life heated up and politicians chose between calling themselves liberals or conservatives, personal differences also came to the fore. This, especially, because he felt the need to control and to convert the ethnic minorities: Germans, Slovaks, Ruthenes, Romanians, and Serbs, who together made up about 60 percent of the population. No longer an editor, Kossuth sought successâ and livelihoodâ in heading various voluntary associations, such as those concerning maritime development and the defense of trade and industry. Once a passionate free-trader, he now advocated tariff barriers even against Austria so as to enable Hungary to develop its own industry. On March 3, Kossuth proposed in the diet the emancipation of the serfs and the appointment of a government responsible to the parliament. The speech inspired the Viennese to make their revolution on 13 March and young intellectuals in Budapest to proceed to their bloodless revolution on 15 March. Besieged by his own subjects, who all wanted change while professing loyalty to his person, and under attack by the king of Piedmont-Sardinia in northern Italy, Ferdinand was ready to surrender to all. In all this and more, Kossuth Page 7

8 had been the driving force. My head will certainly land on the block! Translated by Thomas Land, translation revised by Richard E. While willing to grant Croatia complete autonomy on the basis of its historic privileges, Kossuth and his colleagues rejected the demands of the ethnic minorities by arguing that Hungary, which had just recently replaced corporate and territorial privilege with the rights of the individual, could not possibly grant new territorial and group autonomies. In June, Serbs revolted in southern Hungary; in July, Kossuth as minister of finance announced in one of his most memorable speeches that Hungary would raise funds to finance its own army while denying funds to the king for the defense of his possessions in Italy. On 6 September, Kossuth issued the firstâ illegalâ Hungarian banknotes. Five days later, the Vienna-appointed governor of Croatia invaded Hungary with his troops, whether or not at the orders of the court remains unclear. A few days later, the recently constituted parliament appointed Kossuth head of the so-called National Defense Committee with extensive wartime rights. Kossuth used his extraordinary oratorical abilities and his talent as an administrator to create an army, which was badly needed because, following the attack by Serbs and Croats, many Romanians also revolted and, in December, the imperial army itself invaded Hungary. At first, defeat after defeat plagued the motley Hungarian army of ex-regulars and unreliable volunteers, forcing Kossuth and the parliament to flee from Budapest to eastern Hungary. But then the Hungarians used their administrative experience to raise and equip an army of conscripts that, in the spring of, beat back the Austrians. On 14 April, a triumphant parliament in Debrecen proclaimed the dethronement of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine and elected Kossuth governor-president. Making Kossuth governor-president must be judged a mistake, in part because the virtual dictator thereby became a sort of a constitutional monarch, and in part because the Declaration forced the European governments to take a stand. None recognized the new state, and the British especially made clear that a strong Habsburg monarchy was a European necessity. The Hungarians proved powerless against a resurgent Austrian army, which was supported by most of the nationalities in the Habsburg monarchy, and against a huge Russian invasion force. No sooner had Kossuth made his triumphant entry to the Hungarian capital than he was forced to flee to southeastern Hungary where the last battles of the War of Independence were to be fought. As a final noble gesture, at the end of July parliament adopted a law giving more rights to the ethnic minorities and another guaranteeing the Jews complete legal equality. While most of the refugees returned to Hungary, Kossuth benefited from multiple invitations to visit the United Kingdom and the United States. He was feted as the champion of liberty and the great emancipator. His visit to the United States in and resembled a triumphant march, while orators, including the future president Abraham Lincoln â, called him the Hungarian George Washington. Everywhere he went, including an appearance at the joint session of the U. Congress, he delivered dazzling speeches in English that were to serve as teaching material in the field of rhetorics for many years to come, but he was unable either to raise funds for an army of liberation or to persuade the United States to intervene in the affairs of Europe. Back in England, he was feted again and negotiated with heads of state but his only opportunity to return to Hungary, in on the coattails of the French army, ended abruptly when Napoleon III â concluded an armistice with the defeated Austrian emperor. What put a complete end to his dreams was, however, the compromise agreement of in which Hungarians decided to share power with the German Austrians in the multinational, so-called dual monarchy. Kossuth had warned against an agreement that would tie Hungary to the fate of the Habsburg dynasty, but the Hungarians no longer listened to him, least of all the leaders of the Kossuth Party who became more and more expansionist and chauvinistic. While in exile, Kossuth devised various plans for a Central European federation, but such ideas could have no chance of success in an age of heightened nationalism. In old age, Kossuth spoke up repeatedly against illiberal politics and especially against anti-semitism; his main occupation in Torino, Italy, was, however, to receive delegations of admirers, to write his voluminous memoirs, and to edit his invaluable papers, which fill dozens of volumes. He would not return to Hungary while his archenemy, Francis Joseph I, was king. He died in Torino on 20 March at the age of ninety-two and was buried in Budapest in the presence of millions. The Kossuth cult has never abated; his name is on the lips of every politician, although the left, especially the Communists, had tried to Page 8

9 monopolize his historic heritage. No doubt, he gave hope to the poor, especially peasants, and he opened the way to the modernization of his country, but he also burdened the shoulders of his compatriots with the dilemma of unrealizable national ambitions.
