The 1848 revolutions caused chaos across Europe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the revolution, the rights that Hungary obtained came to an end. Hungary declared independence in 1849. Although Hungarians had successfully struggled against Austria, the direction of the war changed when Russian troops arrived in Hungarian territory.
\nLajos Kossuth, who understood he had lost the war, went to Or\u015fova (modern day Romania) and sent a letter demanding sanctuary from Sultan Abd\u00fclmecid. The sultan reiterated that the refugees were his guests, and he would sacrifice 50,000 of his own people if it meant protecting those who had taken refuge in his territory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because Kossuth was fleeing Austrian soldiers, he took refuge in the Ottoman Empire before receiving an answer from the sultan. The Hungarian leader and refugees were moved to Shumen after staying in Vidin for nearly two and a half months.
\nKossuth and notables among the refugees were later sent to K\u00fctahya province.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Ottoman administration did not send Hungarian and Polish refugees back despite pressure from the Austrians and Russians to do so. Sultan Abdulmecid said, “I’d give my crown; I’d give my throne, but I would never hand over those who take refuge in my country.” This charitable attitude and the empire’s defensive role in protecting freedom and human rights won over hearts in the West, inspiring widespread empathy for the Ottoman Empire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In fact, Kossuth went to the U.K. after leaving the Ottoman Empire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He praised the Turks who protected him and refused to hand him over to his enemies in a speech he gave in the U.K.: “I owe my life and freedom to Turks, who saved me and my friends despite the threats and pressure of the Austrians and Russians. They did not heed the threats and stood behind their respect for human rights. The Turkish empire is a superior power in this respect. The existence of empire today and in the future is for the benefit of Europe and humanity. I will never forget this favor and the respect I received from Turks.”<\/p>\n
