Március 15 aka a little history 🇭🇺

The Hungarian Revolution of 1848 or fully Hungarian Civic Revolution and War of Independence of 1848–1849 (Hungarian: 1848–49-es polgári forradalom és szabadságharc) was one of many European Revolutions of 1848 and was closely linked to other revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg areas. Although the revolution failed, it is one of the most significant events in Hungary's modern history, forming the cornerstone of modern Hungarian national identity.

A cockade is a knot of ribbons, or other circular- or oval-shaped symbol of distinctive colours which is usually worn on a hat or cap. Hungarian revolutionaries wore cockades during the Hungarian revolution of 1848 and during the 1956 revolution. Because of this, Hungarians traditionally wear cockades on the 15th of March.

I'd certainly love to hear the stories you'd have to tell. It's always been a dream of mine to travel around Central/Eastern Europe. There are so many places that I'd love to visit.

Same here. We use cockades on the national days. Thanks for sharing. It's nice to know a little more about you and your country.
