The German-Hungarian War of 1848 was the largest armed conflict that occurred during the 1848 Revolutions. It started off as Hungary's attempt to crush the Hapsburg dynasty of Austria, and to include all minorities of the former nation into its own. After the success of the Hungarian uprising and the general revolution that followed, Artúr Görgey led a multi-ethnic invasion force into the heart of Austria, cutting off Vienna and forcing the Royal Family to flee to the Austro-German border.
