April Laws
The
April laws
, also called
March laws
, were a collection of laws legislated by
Lajos Kossuth
with the aim of modernizing
Kingdom of Hungary
into a
nation state
. The imperative program included Hungarian control of its popular
national guard
,
national budget
and Hungarian
foreign policy
, as well as the removal of
serfdom
. They were passed by the
Hungarian Diet
in March 1848 in Pozsony (now
Bratislava
,
Slovakia
) (German: Pressburg) and signed by
Ferdinand V
at the
Primate's Palace
in the same city on 11 April 1848, as a reaction to the
Revolution of 1848
. When the revolution was crushed in 1849, Austria did not pass the laws, and Hungary did not retain full external autonomy until the
Compromise of 1867
which would later influence Hungary's position in
World War I
.
