The Revolution No One Talks About 

Give this guy that Hungarian passport, he really deserves it

This is actually an important topic in Poland during history classes ^^

Also, one more thing is that the Hungarians surrendered specifically to Russians to symbolically say that they needed the help of another empire to beat down the Revolution, and they couldn't do it on their own

I'm proud to say this revolution is remembered in Poland! Actually, I come from Tarnów, the home city of our common hero of 1848 - Józef Bem/Bem József! :D

Fun fact: When Petőfi sang the "Nemzeti dal" at the crowd he said (also it was a rainy day) " *These cowards don't dare to soak their heads, so how would they fight for their country?* " and almost immediately all of the umbrellas were closed, signaling they are ready to fight for their country.

Man, your sense of humor is top notch. This should be a Hungarian History 101 in official curriculums 😂

9:15 Small mistake: The Holy Roman Empire had been abolished decades earlier. There was only the German Confederation, which still included Austria until the Brothers' war

Szechenyi was not a politician, he was the richest hungarian. I'm mentioning this because this guy did sincerely want to make a difference by going into politics and not to make a career and money in politics which is the case for 99% of politicians. He donated huge amounts of money, i mean real donations and not just "pledge" to do it as some rich ppl today 😃

Not from europe, I'm from southeast asia, but damn - Hungarian FolkTales was an absolute banger of an animated kids' show even for an adult like me lol!!!

As a Hungarian, I find this content entertaining. It feels good to hear about my country, since it's sort of forgotten on the internet, and no one ever talks about it.

elgondolkoztató hogy egy külföldi többet tud a magyar történelemről mint néhány magyar.

Yeey another video about Hungary history,here in Brasil we only study the revolution of 1956 and Horthy Miklos (Katonája Vagyok),regards from BR :)

*Brief history adjustment:* Many things were different from the history we teach at school. 1. Petőfi never went to the museum on March 15th, he only wrote the POEM, "Nemzeti dal". Despite it's name it never was a song. 2. The hungarians actually did a number on the Habsburg army in Spring, claiming many victories. We call it "The Graceful Spring Campaign". 3. Kossuth was a great radicalist, however, he never was a great politician. Practically saying he was the "Haha revolution goes brr" guy. 4. Kossuth was forced out my a**. He fled the country even before the war ended, and then blamed a hungarian general Görgei Artúr for the capitulation. Later on Kossuth tried the same thing, the only thing he was good at: recruiting. To no avail. Since he just spat nonsense throughout the world in the following years about a united Central-Europe and a retaliation against Austria. The most infuriating thing about this is that Görgei was stigmatized as a traitor for decades for saving his remaining men with capitulation. Batthány was executed while he wasn't even head of the state at the time. So basically everyone was punished except Kossuth.

❤️🤍💚 much love from Hungary, I like your videos and your sense of humour, so I enjoy these videos a lot!

Köszi János, kiváló videó, mint mindig. Ezen is betegre röhögtem magam. :D

"Dual Monarchy Formed" Hungarians:"Ah fineally inner peace at last." Sebs in 1914:"i am gonna do what's called a pro gamer move"

Serbian weebo waifu getting in touch with his Magyar roots I love this channel this is the quality content I sub for

As someone from Slovakia it's interesting to be learning about this exact topic in school right now.

8:25 "as you can imagine Hungary was in a rough spot" *rewinds through 1300 years to find when Hungary was not in a rough spot*

9:47 there are over 150 lanaguages in this world,and our man chose to speak facts.

Love Hungary from Croatia!🇭🇷❤️🇭🇺

rlly good video!!! as a Hungarian im always really happy when people are interested in our country, bc you don't hear about us in mainstream media that much

The way The Thirteen went to their deaths after their sentence was pretty epic, I just read about it a few weeks ago. I feel that the systematic eradication of our bravest and best could have led to our modern day "meh" state.

It's said that there is a utopian universe out there, a universe where the Hungarians and Romanians actually work together throughout history =))

you didn't mention the uprising of the Székelys who rose up against the russkies and romanian separatists and miraculously prevailed in transylvania. We even have a folk song about how Gábor Áron made cannons in Kézdivásárhely, which were used in the fighting, in lieu of any artillery

I wonder where the immense amount of knowledge of the hungarian trashscene come from? Is it your own "research" or you have friends who help you? A legjobb magyar videós basszátok meg. Innentől mindig hagyok egy kommentet. Csak így tovább János.

Nagyon jó videós vagy, így tovább:) Love from vajdaság ♥️

Kossuth went to the Ottomans, US (and UK) only for short period and in the end he settled in Turin where he died. There is a bust of him in front of his house where he lived and a whole section of an important museum in Turin (Risorgimento) dedicated to the Hungarian Revolution. He was also in good terms with the Savoy government and actually supported the unification of Italy.

This was very informative, thank you. I'm glad to have gained some insight into the revolution's other sides, not just the Hungarians and Austrians as it's taught in Hungary today. Also, was kinda waiting for you to sing when you mentioned Kossuth recruiting fighters all over the country. And to mention Görgey "Gigachad" Artúr as well, but we can't have it all :D

Hats off to you, man! This is a better summary of these events in 13 minutes than what I have learnt in Hungarian history class for several weeks. Saved, shared.

I just waited to see us ( Serbia ) and i was not disappointed, you are crazy ( ti si lud ). Thank you for the videos !!!!

eee... no? in Poland on the subject of history, when the Spring of Nations 1848 is discussed, we also discuss a bit the Hungarian revolution

I am sooo happy that you did this video about our revolution!! I am Hungarian and this is one of my favorite historical period. We always celebrate the anniversary of this revolution every year!🙂🙂❤️❤️

Fun fact: On 15 March 1848 when the Hungarians released Mihály Táncsics from prison, they just simply forgot to release the other political prisoner in the same prison: a romanian named Eftimie Murgu. He had to wait for one month to be released

Just wanted to say that 19th century liberals were actually based, and way diferent from what we call libs today.

0:00 cartoon "Hungarian folk tales"-„Mađarske narodne priče“. Nostalgia.

Always a good week when you post.

As a hungarian: this is beautiful but your " why you shouldn't learn hungarian" is gonna be my 4ever fav video

I'm hungarian. I remember hating history classes and remember hating every single second of the gloomy memorial events we had twice every year at every school, no escape. And now, suddenly, you made it interesting and I enjoyed this video. You did something that five history teachers and three school drama clubs were unable to do. You made me enjoy learning about this stuff

It is fascinating how the Hungarians and Serbs are so different in terms of customs and language but are essentially very close with strong historical ties.

As a french, the short part with the Code Lyoko's oppening in Hungarian almost killed me XD

I have one important thing to add and a "fun fact". Kossuth was a dividing man at best; he was with the revolution, but he wanted to see himself a military genius, what he wasn't. There were constant tensions between him and the real general, Görgei, and it made the Hungarian army less capable of handling the more and more pressure from the Habsburg and Russia. Also I think, that the revolution would had been a success, if the Hungarian army would had chase the Habsburg army beyond Austrian borders, when the uprising in Vienna happened in 1848 (October, if I remember correctly). But the army was sitting at border of Austria for 3(!) weeks, doing nothing, until they could decide that it is more important to chase the Habsburgian army down, than the diplomacy with the Habsburgs. Because they were late, they could not support the Vienna uprising effectively, and if the uprising would had been a success, there would had been no Habsburg left in power to claim the Hungarain throne. Also the common Austrian people sympathised with the cause of Hungary. So if these people in power in Vienna -> independence of Hungary. Of course UK/Russia would had intervene maybe, if they see that the balance in middle Europe is in danger, but that's another story.

There's a Lajos Kossuth High School near my house in Warsaw. And a statue to Sandor Petofi.

Love your videos. Its so rare to find foreign youtubers caring so much about Hungary. Very educational too!

That feeling when you have to watch a serb's videos to learn about your own country's history.......

Great video, much effort was put in it clearly

Dude I literally learn more hungarian history with your videos than with the actual hungarian education system.

I love these videos, they're funny and educational! Keep up the good work!!

Love Hungary from Serbia!

Half the people watching this vid are most likely hungarian, and so am i! Cheers!

This video just bringed a smile on my face that someone is finally talking about our little country's history. Thank you

Mentioning Code Lyoko and playing the Hungarian version made me love you even more!

Welcome back Freund from Balkan! Cheers from Northern Sweden

eléggé jártas vagy a magyar mémekben, illetve viccekben. Értékelem ezt

Nagyon jó összefoglaló. Köszönjük szépen! Sokat röhögtem rajta. Keep up the good work.

Nagyon szépen ejted ki a magyar neveket! Petőfi, Batthyhány... Gratulálok!

Well put together! Thank you for talking about our history. 🇭🇺

2:06 This brought back childhood memories I had forgotten for years, thanks Also great vid :D

In the aftermath of the 1848 revolution. Hungarian composer, Franz Liszt dedicated a piece to the vicrims of the revolution the piece was called Funerailles.

Thank you! This is a more comprehensive summary of the events than what I've learned until now.

Dude that intro brought back memories as i kid i always used to watch those cartoons that started with those singing birds.

Great vid my dude, your mix of educational content and debil memery is quite proficient!

You summed it up nicely, thank you. 3:10 Top humor! Congratulations! 🙂🙂🙂

Yess new video this have made my week already thanks bro

0:46 Austria was NEVER A KINGDOM!! I don't know how many times I have to say it, Austria was a margraviate, a duchy, an archduchy and later an empire, THAT'S ALL

This is actually the only thing I learned in school about of Hungary besides the things I search by myself, and I ain't even european.

I got hooked up by how pretty your avatar is I ended up not understanding anything so i'd need to watch it again. Now I'm gonna watch for the 3rd Time

Bruh i love your content, u put it in such a comedic way , thts the reason i got a A in History, Pozdrav iz Sabca o7

Love from Poland

Love your videos from Hungary🇭🇺🤜🤛🇷🇸

You do history as well as you do travel videos. I am glad you are back.

In our school we are thought that Jelačić got into beef with Hungary because when he came to make a pact with Lajos, Lajos said he doesn't see Croatia on the map(saying that he doesn't consider Croatia a thing, that's all Hungary) which obviously pissed Jelačić off so he switched sides.

My history teacher told me this story, I don't know if it's true or not but I guess I should trust him. During the 1848 Revolution,the Hungarian army was fighting the Romanian border regiments in the Bîrgău area. During one night after the Romanians retreated in the mountains,the Hungarians were following. In the village of Tiha, the local Romanian population ambushed the Hungarian army with what they could find: sticks, clubs, pitchforks. The Hungarians propmptly retreated.

Realy great video. 2 Fun Facts that i know from my history classes (I am currently learning this in highschool): 1. When the uprising was happening in Vienna there were soilders ready to storm it next to the border but supposedly they were slow to ask for orders and they weren't allowed to attack in time, this could have won the war before it even realy started. 2. Szécshenyi literaly went batshit insane due to the war, because he wanted to live in peace with Austria and ended up in a mental asylum, he also died there (can't remember where that was). (Both of these i have been either told by my teacher or are in my textbook so not sure about them but still.)

As a Hungarian, I must say I love your videos. Your humour is hilarious. yet the content is accurate. Someone give him this guy a passport.

As a Austro Hungarian i would like to see a 2. Dual Monarchy!

I really love youre channel keep going 🍻

In Poland we learn about it in school :) Braterstwo 🇵🇱 🇭🇺

Welcome back king, can't wait for a hundred thousand!😄👍

Thanks for this video man. Feeling amazing about how much you know about our history. You should maybe consider making a video about Ferenc József and how his actions affected Hungary :))

Vicces dolog hogyha belegondolok, hogy egy külföldi többet tud a történelmünkről mint egyes Magyarok. A legnagyobb tiszteletem neked!

You have to do a video on Trianon treaty.

Absolutely adore your way of making content.

Fun fact : the hungarian army gave at Világos but they only knell down before the russians (sending a message to the austrians to let em know that the russians carried their win. ) this was one of the main reason of executing the majority of commanders and head members(Aradi vértanúk)

Finally someone made a video about this! Love from Hungary

I'm a Hungarian, and I learned more from this video than god knows how many years of school (3...). I fucking love this. 😄👍🏻

Nice history lesson brate, dropping red pills and having a good sense of humor at the same time. Very rare this day in age, Keep up the good work my friend.

I learned a lot. Great content.

Didn't know there where that many uprisings and revolutions in Hungary and this is from someone who watched a documentary on the Russian civil war before

Yea, my home was captured by the Big Habsburg Empire, and after the revolution both country signed peace and transformed into Austria-Hungry, or Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy

As a Hungarian, I think we have a very complimated history, but I love it!

Thank you. I am a Hungarian and we were slaves for 400 years. 200 with the Turkish and 200 with the Habsburg. I am living in the US now I have exiled myself from Hungary. Wish me luck!

1:50 that's some nice background music. i wonder where it "came" from. .. :)

Very good video! I would like to mention a few extra things for those who are intrested. First, contrary to western europe where the opressed forced the privileged to give up their rights, in hungary the noblemen tried the same, getting rid of their own priviliges. Lajos Batthyány, the first prime minister of hungary, was captured by the austrians and was inprisoned until 6th of october, 1849, when he and other generals were executed. (Interestingly, Gyula Andrássy was "executed" symbolically, using a doll. Later, he became the third prime minister of hungary, in 1867) The april laws, which was partially based on the 12 points, was one of the most liberal constitution at the time (for instance around 7% of the population could vote, in a private manner if I remember correctly. It was ahead of Britain.) This constitution were changed by Franz Joseph, forcefully.

I am literally about to write a test in school about this revolution and war the day after tomorrow, so it was helpful and hilarious.

It's so interesting to hear a foreign person talk about this! This is actually like though to us before history classes become a thing in 5th grade, understandably (since, y'know, it's OUR COUNTRY), so I might have to disagree with the title 😅

I loved that Kossuth wojak face 😂😂😂 love you channel from Hungary

Fun fact: during the July Crisis of 1914 the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest voiced its opposition to actually going to war with Serbia opting against as it could anger other powers in the region Vienna ignored them and we all know what happened next Austria got finger wagged to never do it again while Hungry and Germany got taken out back and beaten for their lunch money.

Your video unironically helped me study my history class

The year 1848 is known, at least in Poland, as "Wiosna Narodów" - "Spring of nations". In history classes we learn about all the uprisings/revolutions that occurred in Europe at this time
