The 1848 Revolution Memorial Day, observed annually on March 15th, is a significant event in Hungarian history that celebrates the nation’s fight for freedom and independence. Sparked by widespread discontent with the oppressive Habsburg rule, the revolutionaries called for reforms and greater autonomy. Although the uprising was ultimately suppressed, its legacy lived on, leading to the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and instilling a sense of national identity, pride, and unity.
