Abstract
After the French Revolution and Napoleon's sweep through Europe, the Congress of Vienna restored order and the balance of power through conservatism, restoration of monarchs, and territorial redistribution, resulting in a period of relative peace with no major wars between European countries for several decades. However, societies have not been as tranquil as this seemingly calm outlook; transformations and revolutions continued as people strived for increased political representation and freedom. The revolution of 1848, as a transnational event, successively triggered changes in most European countries. Although the revolution was recognized to ultimately a failure, it still has a profound impact on today's society. Despite being a supranational event, revolutions occur for different reasons in different countries. In Hungary, the main reasons for the revolution were the economic crisis caused by the failure of the grain harvest, Hungarian nationalism and the demands of the nobility, and, inevitably, the influence of revolutions in other regions.
