[Levantine Heritage Foundation] Changing by the Needs: The Story of the Hungarian Society in Constantinople – Gabor Fodor
April 5, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm BST
After the failure of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848‒1849 against the Habsburg Monarchy, thousands of soldiers found asylum in the Ottoman Empire. Even though most of them left the empire within a year, hundreds preferred to stay, live, and work in a society about which they knew virtually nothing. The importance of the Hungarian refugee colony was not limited to active military service in the Ottoman Army, but a few of them succeeded in building up their civil careers as entrepreneur, shop owner, or translator. This was the period when the Hungarian Society in Constantinople was established with the aim of aiding the refugees by preserving the revolution.
