The Viennese government suppressed the Prague rebellion and then the Galician rebellion, and when the news reached Hungary, the opposition led by Kossuth could not sit still.

Judging from the current situation, the Viennese government had no intention of compromising with the revolutionaries, except for repression and repression, especially the bloody repression in Galicia, which frightened many people.

Ludwig von Benedek, who was in charge of suppressing the Galician rebellion, directly allowed the local people to retaliate against the nobles and capitalists, and most of the more than 20,000 people who died were killed by the people.

It is impossible for the Vienna government to execute more than 20,000 people at one time, and Franz also wants to be embarrassed, for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of Austrian Poland, killing people with a knife has become the only option.

A militia was summoned from the locality, and the contradictions between them and the exploiting groups were purged of the reactionary elements.

Throughout the country, except for Italy, where the regional war continued, almost all rebellions were bloodily suppressed, and Hungary was about to fight alone.

If we advance the date by a month, the Hungarian cabinet government has not yet been established, and there is still a possibility of compromise between the two sides, and there is still a chance to turn back before the declaration of independence is issued on April 14.

The Vienna government has not recognized the legitimacy of the Hungarian cabinet, and has repeatedly ordered them to dissolve the illegitimate government.

Kossuth had always advocated secession from Austria and the establishment of an independent Hungarian Republic, but unfortunately this idea had a limited market in Hungary.

Most of the nobles were worried about the security of the independent state, after all, Hungary was annexed to Austria, and in addition to the marriage of the Habsburgs, they also needed Austrian protection.

Compared to the woolly bear and the Ottoman, they are still more willing to follow the Austrians. It's just that the central government in Vienna has been weak in recent years, and has gradually lost its majesty. Through a series of temptations, they discovered that crying children had milk to eat.

In order to get rid of Austria's restrictions and gain greater benefits, the capitalists embraced nationalism from France, and the Austrian opposition, led by Kossuth, began to grow.

However, this did not mean that Hungary had the strength to gain independence from Austria, and many people were still skeptical of the armed revolution.

A young man hurriedly said: "Mr. Kossuth, something is wrong, the Vienna government has sent a law lecturer into Hungary, I am afraid that it is coming for us!" ”

Hearing this news, Kossuth's face changed drastically, what was the purpose of Austria sending a legal lecturer here? Is it just to popularize the law to the Hungarians?

If Franz had been here, he would have said – yes, the purpose of sending law preachers is really just to popularize the law.

Of course, it is indispensable to declare the formation of the Hungarian cabinet illegal, but this can only be regarded as incidental, and the main thing is to divide the Hungarian kingdom.

The interests and needs of different classes are also different, and the series of laws introduced by the Vienna government are essentially aimed at buying off ordinary people.

There is no way, it's not that Franz doesn't want to buy the elite, it's easier to buy the minority than the majority. The problem is that the asking price is too high for them to afford.

In March, the Hungarian delegation, represented by Kossuth, submitted to the Vienna government a request for the establishment of an independent Hungarian government and the abolition of feudalism.

After a difficult round of negotiations between the two sides, Franz was still very open-minded and did not rule out reform, and even advocated more thorough reform.

However, when I met a group of idealists + spokesmen for bourgeois interest groups, the two sides obviously couldn't get along.

If the Viennese government dared to accept their terms, it would be the turn of the Austrians to make a revolution.

Equality is not the same as privilege, Franz can give equal status to all nationalities, but he can never let the Hungarian nation above all others.

This involves the national conditions of the Kingdom of Hungary, which has a population of more than 13 million, including more than 500,000 nobles.

Hungarian capitalists also have another identity - aristocracy, so the relationship between Hungarian capitalists and aristocrats is very complicated, which accounts for less than 2 percent of the population, accounting for more than 95 percent of the wealth in society.

The Hungarian nation in this period actually refers to the more than 500,000 nobles and capitalists, who have many privileges and are the real exploiting class of the country.

To some extent, Austria was not a true autocratic empire, but an alliance of large nobles, and the central government's control of the localities depended on the will of the nobility.

The Hungarian nationalist movement that is now breaking out is actually dominated by the small and medium-sized aristocracy and capitalists, who combine the concept of the state with their own interests, and put on a layer of nationalism when their interests are in conflict.

This is also the reason why the Hungarian government, headed by Kossuth, on the one hand shouts for reform, and on the other hand refuses to implement the Vienna government reform bill.

Even the consensus on the abolition of serfdom was not carried out in Hungary, and the nobles concealed the abolition of slavery from the Viennese government.

Well, this responsibility cannot be counted on Kossuth, after all, he, the leader, like the artillery party, is just a product of everyone's compromise, and not by virtue of strength.

This can be seen from the Hungarian elections of April 12, 1848, which proclaimed that the Hungarian presidential election was still held in Budapest, despite the professed opening of the popular elections.

Only 16,200 people in Budapest had the right to vote, and if the "Hungarian nation" understood it at the time, it was almost a city-wide universal suffrage.

In the end, a total of 5,176 votes were received, and Kossuth was elected with a high vote of 1,639 votes, of course, this number is certainly not the result announced to the public.

Judging by these figures, Franz's butterfly effect still played a role, and more people chose to sit on the sidelines than in history.

"Najib, send someone to expel them immediately, we Hungary do not welcome them!" Kossuth said with a gloomy face

As a compromise president, there are too many people in the Kingdom of Hungary who do not buy his account, and even in the minds of many people, this Hungarian Republic is a joke, as you can know from everyone's indifference to the elections.

Kossuth's anger was not unfounded, the Republic of Hungary was established, but Ferdinand I still held the position of the Kingdom of Hungary.

There is no nobility without a king, and for their own interests, the Hungarian aristocracy insisted on opposing the abolition of the king, and was forced to compromise by the situation Kossuth, and now there is a king above him as president, and his rights are greatly reduced.
