Kossuth-emigration

Kossuth-emigration refers to the mass movement of Hungarian nationalists and intellectuals during the 19th century, particularly after the failed 1848-1849 Hungarian Revolution against Austria. Named after Lajos Kossuth, a key leader, this emigration was driven by political repression and exile. Many Hungarians sought refuge in countries like the United States, Canada, and Latin America to escape repression and promote Hungarian independence. This migration helped gather support for Hungary’s national cause abroad and contributed to the spread of Hungarian culture among diaspora communities.
