Abstract:
Owing to bourgeois development and the demand on breaking downfeudal conditions a bourgeois revolution took place in Hungary in 1848. There volution turned into a national war of independence, which after one andhalf year of bloody battles was defeated only by the united armies of theAustria and Russia. The Hungarians’ struggle for independence was followed with the sympathy of European nations and many people supported the Hungarians with personal participation.The Greeks living in Hungary felt the aims of the war of independence their own; as most of the families had lived in their new country for three generations. Many of them fought as members of the national guard, while some were promoted to high military ranks. Pal Kiss, the son of a mercant in Diószeg, was advanced to generalship in May, 1849.
