A Nemzeti Ujság politikai állásfoglalása és a márciusi fordulat, 1845–1848

The aim of my study is to show a Hungarian conservative newspaper’s political principles during the second half of the 1840s. The Nemzeti Ujság was undergoing massive changes under the direction of Sándor Lipthay between the last two Hungarian diets of the Reform Era. The events of the examined period had serious effects upon those changes. For instance the moderate censorship; the diet of 1843/44 and the resulting opposition of the absolutist governemnt of Wien; furthermore the foundation of the Hungarian Conservative Party. Nevertheless the Revolution of 1848 had the most significant effect upon the face of the newspaper. The attitude of the journal had been continuously diverging from the official conservative standpoints. The distancing, nevertheless, was not permanent; occasionally it slowed down or began accelerating. After the Hungarian revolution the Nemzeti Ujság was the first newspaper that started supporting the new regime. This radical turn was utterly striking for other journals too.

The Revolution

Throughout the Revolution of 1848–1849 the national aspirations of the Hungarians generally evoked a negative response from both liberal and radical Czechs, although, on the whole, the radicals expressed less hostility than the liberals toward developments in Hungary. Of the two groups, the Czech radicals were the least interested in maintaining the territorial and political integrity of the Habsburg monarchy and the more revolutionary in their demands and expectations. Consequently they had less cause to criticize the Magyars. Indeed, after the Habsburgs declared war against Hungary and the Russians openly assisted them in subduing the Hungarian revolutionaries, the radicals openly expressed sympathy for the Magyar cause.

The Revolution

The Revolution of 1848-1849 in Hungary was a serious challenge to the entire European order established at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 as the result of the Napoleon wars. The unfavorable outcome of the revolution was first of all a result of the lack of interest of the major European powers (Russia including) in destroying the Habsburg monarchy, which was a guarantor of stability on the continent due to its middle position in Europe. The main lesson of the events in the Habsburgs monarchy (including Hungary) in 1848-1849 is seen in the fact that for the first time in the European history, they showed so clearly the destructive power of nationalism. The mismatch of the goals of the national movements with their specific programs led to the sharp collisions. Later this experience was taken into consideration by the ideologues of the national movements of various peoples of the Danube region. This report not only evaluates the international significance of the Hungarian revolution of 1848-1849 in a retrospective after 170 years and assesses its place in the Hungarian historical memory. An attempt is made to dispel some stereotypes concerning the policy of the Russian Empire in the region. It is established that its non-interference in the internal affairs of the neighboring empire was of a fundamental nature due to the fear of creating a new “European question”. The choice in favor of the military action was made only after long hesitations for the fear of the collapse of the Habsburg Empire.

The Revolution

The article traces the transformation of the way Hungarian poetry has treated one of Hungary’s main national holidays — 15 March, the Day of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 — starting from the late nineteenth century up to the early twenty-first century. Over this period, the Revolution of 1848 became a part of the national historical mythology while poets shifted from praising the heroic deeds of the past to reflecting on the role of this memorial day in national, as well as personal history. Such a shift might be explained not only by new political and ideological contexts that have emerged over time, but also through the way the concept of freedom has transformed at both the national and universal level. In terms of the historical scene, we see a shift from a remembrance day glorifying the past to a revolutionary “holiday of holidays” and later to a symbolic celebration of fighting against enemies which vary depending on the period; finally, national romanticism has been replaced with individual and family history.

Since 1945 German historians, searching for answers to the question of the responsibility of the political parties for the failure of the Weimar Republic, have studied afresh the organization and political activity of parties in Germany. Their work concentrates on the history of parties after 1870, when they became centralized, mass organizations, and treats in a cursory manner the earlier stages in the formation of parties.1In so far as recent and earlier historical studies delve into the period before 1870, they trace the origins of parties in Prussia to the Revolution of 1848. The relation of these parties to the partisan groupings that were formed in the territorial church during theVormärzis overlooked.

Edward Lasker, German parliamentarian, was born on August 14, 1829, in Jaroczin, a small village in the province of Posen, the Polish area of Prussia. The offspring of an orthodox Jewish family, the young man studied the Talmud and translated Schiller into Hebrew verse. At first he showed a preference for philosophy and mathematics but turned later to history, political science, and law. Influenced by contemporary pre-Marxian socialism, he, together with his fellow students, fought on the barricades during the revolution of 1848. It became clear to him after passing his law examinations that he could not expect an adequate appointment in the civil service of reactionary Prussia.

Revolution Of 1848

By abolishing feudalism, the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 helped to create the economic preconditions and the legal-political framework necessary for capitalistic development. This made it possible for Hungary to adapt her economy to the market possibilities offered by the Industrial Revolution in western and central Europe and to share in the agrarian boom of the period between 1850 and 1873. The previously existing division of labor between western and eastern Europe and between the western and eastern parts of the Habsburg monarchy continued on a scale larger than before, with the significant difference, however, that this practice now speeded up rather than retarded the development of preconditions for capitalism. During the first half of the nineteenth century the preconditions for capitalism had come into existence in the Cisleithanian provinces at considerable expense to the Hungarian economy.
