Budapest Uprising of 1854 (A Federation of Equals)

The Budapest Uprising of 1854 was a brief insurgency sparked by agitated Hungarians in Budapest, the capital of the State of Hungary. The revolt was the public reaction to a series of political maneuvers and the possibility of a independent Slovak state. Lasting for nearly two months, the Nationalist Hungarians managed to prevent the independence of Slovakia after a plebicite, before they were suppressed by local militia and Federal forces. In addition, the elected president of Hungary was murdered as a result of the regional dissent, leaving the state absent of an executive for two consecutive years.
