ROOM 12. Revolution and War of Independence in 1848-49 "I Fall on My Knees Before the Greatness of the Nation" (Lajos Kossuth) (Katalin Körmöczi - Tibor Kovács S.)

35. Standard of the Pest national guards, 1848 system. On the other hand, the Olmütz Manifesto, dated March 4, 1849, classified the Kingdom of Hungary as a crown province of a unitary and indivisible imperial realm. According to the text of Hungary's Declaration of Independence, "In the name of the nation, the House of Habsburg is for all time barred from rule over Hungary and Transylvania united with it, and over all regions and provinces belonging to it." A consequence of the new constitutional situation accepted and proclaimed in the Reformed Great Church in Debrecen was Kossuth's election as governor-president (Fig. 34). Beside the ministers' chairs can be seen Lajos Kossuth's governor-president's dress uniform, embellished with braid and frogging, which evokes the country's new post and the new, and highest, political office of its holder. After the spring of 1848, Vienna attempted to take back every concession. Jellacic,
