→‎1848: Correcting, making it more realistic
Line 15: Line 15:  
The need for education in the Magyar language united Catholic and Protestant Hungarians against continued instruction in Latin. In the 1832-36 Diet the conflict between Catholic laymen and clergy sharpened considerably and a mixed commission was established, the findings of which offered the Protestants certain limited concessions. The basic issue of this religious and educational struggle was how to promote the Magyar tongue and Magyar mationalism and independence from Austria.

The failed revolution of 1848 was a middle class uprising against the nobility.  It failed because of deep ethnic differences between the dominant Magyars and the minorities, especially the Serbs, Croats, and Romanians. Another important factor is that the main leader [[Louis Kossuth]] had a secular view of the nation offended many non-Magyar Orthodox Christians.  Neither the Magyar liberals nor the minorities realized that a policy of cooperation with the Habsburg court in Vienna was doomed. The Hungarian-speaking Magyars seeking only their own freedom, sought Habsburg help against the minorities. Meanwhile the minorities in their own quest for freedom joined the Habsburgs in fighting the Magyars. In the end the Habsburgs easily restored their domination in East Central Europe.
