Specification
The Slovak uprising 1848/1849, the first armed uprising of Slovaks in modern history, was part of the pan-European revolutionary wave. Dissatisfaction with the resolution of the national question and the constitutional status after the March revolution and the establishment of an independent Hungarian state, which refused to recognize the national rights of non-Hungarian nations, also led Slovaks to revolutionary action. Its goals were formulated in the "Demands of the Slovak Nation," drawn up in May 1848 in Liptovský Sv. Mikuláš. The uprising was organized by the Slovak National Council - the first national body of Slovaks with political, military, and executive power - established in Vienna and declared on 19.9.1848 at the national assembly in Myjava, where it declared disobedience to the Hungarian government and proclaimed national independence. In three phases from September 1848 to November 1849, several thousand insurgents participated in the expeditions of volunteer corps. Although the uprising did not achieve its goals, it played a significant role in the Slovaks' path to autonomy.
