Notes
This study dealt with a historical introduction to the Hungarian War of Independence against Austria 1848 - 1849 AD, led by Lajos Kossuth, which failed due to Russian intervention, and the resulting crisis of thousands of Hungarian refugees, who decided to leave Hungary. For fear of retaliatory measures by Austria and Russia against them, and the subsequent Ottoman Empire allowing them to cross its borders and settle there, and Russia and Austria demanding that the Ottoman Empire hand them over to them immediately, and threatening them with war if they did not do so. The study also addressed the Ottoman Empire’s proposal for Hungarian refugees to convert to Islam to avoid extradition. Some refugees responded and others refused. The study touched on Kossuth's letter to Palmerston on September 20, 1849 AD, and the details contained therein about the conditions of the refugees, in addition to studying the conditions of the Hungarian refugees, their integration into society and the institutions of the Ottoman Empire, until understandings were finally reached between the Ottoman Empire and Austria, according to which Kossuth and the refugees were allowed to leave the Ottoman Empire. Indeed, Kosuth and fifty-one Hungarian refugees left the Ottoman lands on September 1, 1851 AD, to Britain and then the United States, which became his residence. The study relied on many sources and references in English and Turkish, and no Ottoman documents were found, or these documents do not cover the subject of the study at all.
