Extract

The Hungarian War of Independence (1848-49) in which the Hungarians fought with desperate heroism against the numerically superior forces of Austria and Russia, ended in dismal failure. Some of the Hungarian leaders escaped abroad; many of those who remained were imprisoned, some even met death under the gallows.

Despite the ultimate collapse of the war, it had reverberations throughout the civilized world. Kossuth's fiery speeches were read everywhere, and his valiant efforts in behalf of his unhappy country aroused so much interest in Hungary that innumerable books and articles were published in England and America dealing not only with Kossuth and his helpmates, but also with Hungary, her language and literature, and the customs of this heretofore unknown country. Kossuth's activities, including his American tour, did not secure active help for the Hungarian cause, yet, they led to no mean achievement: they put Hungary, so to speak, on the map.
