This is amazing! I'm American and there is barely any documentation of these wars. Videos like these and your other ones with a timeline are helpful. I see that you yourself are extremely well versed, in the topic, so do you know any books about this in English?

[@szalard]

big man stranded demon Thank you for your kind words. Yes, this war is one of my favourite peiods in our history. Did you saw my other, more detailed video, in which I also shortly comment on the events? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIarp5WIm7Oklck About English books. You can find many old books in English, full view free on Google books. I will give only their title, because if I post the links, my comment its likely to disappear, because this happened many times with me. - William Bernard Maccabe: A True Account of the Hungarian Revolution. London 1851 - E. O. S.: Hungary and its revolutions, with a memoir of L. Kossuth, Covent --garden 1854 - Arthur Görgey: My Life and Acts in Hungary in the Years 1848 and 1849, New York 1852 (this is the best book of these, because it is written by the Hungarian high commander, Görgei, himself) So these you can find pdf, and read for free. As for new books, unfortunately there are few. I can recomand: - Deák, István. Lawful Revolution: Louis Kossuth and the Hungarians 1848-1849 - Nobili, Johann. Hungary 1848: The Winter Campaign. Edited and translated Christopher Pringle. Warwick, UK: Helion & Company Ltd., 2021. - Gábor Bona: The Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence, 1848-1849 : a military history, New York : Distributed by Columbia University Press, 1999. And, I think, the best book on the military history of the Hungarian revolution and freedom war is about to appear. The most detalied and modern book abou these events: "1848-1849. The Military history of the Freedom War" of Róbert Hermann, the best Hungarian historian about the military events of the 1848-49 Hungarian revolution, is being translated in English, and as I hear, it will will appear in a couple of months at the Helion Printing house in England. I used the original Hungarian version for my videos too.

Minden térkép elkészült, de ahhoz, hogy mozgóvá tudjam tenni, ahhoz több ezer résztérképet kell elkészítsek (amelyek a hadjáratok útját és a csatákat bemutató nyílak és egyéb ikonok mozgását kell érzékeltessék), amihez azonban nincs erőm.

Do you think that Matthias Corvinus was Romanian?

[@szalard]

Mathias Corvinus, the king of Hungary, with a Hungarian mother (Erzsébet Szilágyi), and his father who easily could be the son of the Hungarian king and Holly Roman emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg why would be Romanian? This is nonsense. Even if his fathers father would had been from Wallachia, that time the Wallachian nobility was Cuman, so his ancestors would had been partly Hungarian and Cuman, maybe Hungarian and German (if the theory with Sigismund of Luxemburg would be correct), but in no case Romanian. And you are lucky, because in January the bones of Mathhias Corvinus's son, John Corvinus started to be archeogenetically studied, and they say that in 2-3 months, the exact origin will be completely elucidated once and for all. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6KQkHahmK1peZY So wait for the results.

Hi!

[@TheGroundHopper]

Hi dude, just seen your comments on a hungarian politics video and noticed the welsh dragon, clicked on the page and you have a affiliation with wales yet are hungarain, could you explain please because I'm very confused lol

[@szalard]

Hi, I am Hungarian, but I love also Wales and the Welsh people and culture. I even taught to learn Welsh, but my job and other things do not allow me this. Why I love Wales? Maybe because one of the greatest Hungarian poets, Janos Arany wrote the poem: A walesi bardok (The Bards from Wales) which tells the legend of the slaughter of the 500 Welsh bards, by the English king Eduard I., and this is one of the most beloved Hungarian poems. Of course, besides of that, this poem makes parallels between the fate of the Welsh and the Hungarian people, which after the crush of the 1848-49 Hungarian revolution, which is presented in this video of mine, under which you commented, was in the situation of the Welsh people after the English conquest of Edward I. Also the fate of the 500 Welsh bards represent the fate of the Hungarian poets, who, after the defeat of the Hungarian revolution, were forced to prize the victorious Austrian enemy emperor (who won only thanks to the Russian help though), and like the 500 Welsh bards, they refused, facing the consequences. I think this is why the Hungarians love so much this poem, and I love so much the Welsh people.

[@gostivan7744]

Do you know the casulities of the revolution?

[@szalard]

It is hard to know the exact numbers, but the historians estimate that the Hungarians lost around 40 000, on the other side the Austrians around 30 000, the Croatians 30 000, the Serbians 15 000, the Romanians 10 000 and the Russians around 13 500 lives among the soldiers, due to the battles and the cholera epidemic. Beisides of that the ethnic massacres took also many lives. The Romanians killed at least 10 000 Hungarian civilians (men, women, children), the Serbians also around 10 000 Hungarian civilians, while the Hungarian retaliation killed around 4500 Romanians, and around 1000-1500 Serbians, mostly from those who before that participated in the anti-Hungarian massacres, but also some real civilians too.

As a Croat I cannot be happy seeing Germans and Russians conquering someone elses country. We Croats had to go in of course because you didn't saw us on the map but besides that no hard feelings.

[@szalard]

We, Hungarians and Croatians have another situation. The Croatian crown was occupied by the Hungarian king in 1097 in a personal union, and not through conquest. Because of this, Croatia retained a large internal autonomy with its leaders elected by Croatians, the language, education, everything was decided in Croatia. Yes, it was a short period of 50 years when some of these rights were taken away, between 1867-1918. But this is like less than 10 % of that period, when Croatia and Hungary were united. Personal union was, when a king of a country was elected by another country, when its dynasty died out, or because he was relative to that dynasty, was very common in Europe. The Habsburgs too took Hungary in a personal union. For comparation about the large autonomy of the Croatians, who thanks to this, retained their language, culture, were not assimilated, like for example the Scots, Welsh in Great Britain, who in the same way were in personal union with England, but the English forcedly assimilated them, thus, today only like 5 % of the Scots van speak Scotish Gaelic, 17 % of the Welsh van speak Welsh. Because of the assimilation, they today all speak only English. The same situation is with the Britons in France, who almost nobody can speak their ancient Celtic language, because they were forcedly assimilated. Lets say If the Croatian king would had the chance to occupy the Hungarian throne, then he would had done the same. This is history, nobody living today is guilty for that. 😊

@@SmokeyMountain0 Ok, this is only a legend, that Turks are sons of Noah. Lets talk about how we, Hungarians see this. Yes, we are related to you, in blood. But neither we nor you are some kind of inferior. We are related archer civilizations, and genetically too we are related. Its enough to see peoples faces, how they are related. We came from the same cradle: the steppes of Central Asia. Our blood intermingled. Of course the name Hun is the name of the empire, but the names of the empires come from the name of the people which creates that empire. An empire is not created like, some people are gathering and say: lets name this empire "Tree". But the empire takes its name from the nation which creates it (Mongol empire, Russian Empire, etc.). Very rare takes the name of the founding person, like the Ottoman empire, and, if we research, this kind of Empire naming from a persons name or a religion, starts after the religious ideology of institutionalized religions becomes predominant (like the Holly Roman Empire, Islamic State - the name of the Arab empire). The name Turk in the historical documents appear only in the VI century AD. and its the name of those Tribes which founded the Gök Türk Empire. The name Turk is just the name of a tribe which became an empire. If Bumin's tribe would had been Kirghiz, then today you would say "Atilla was Kirghiz". So the Turk name was a tribal name which became popular, mostly because of the Gök Türk Empire, which united many nations which had related languages, forcing them to take this name. Bumin, Istemi, Elterish, etc., were very clever, because they named themselves Gök, coming from the Sky, so they showed their tribe like holly in the Tengristic religion of the ancient nomadic people. This created a divine respect towards them, enabling the name Turk to be popular among many related nations. So, we are brothers, we are related, we should keep together, help each others, but nobody is under the other, or vice versa.
