Lajos Kossuth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3268 words) |
| Lajos "Louis" Kossuth (ĽudovÃt Košút in Slovak) (Monok, September 19, 1802–Turin, March 20, 1894) was a Hungarian lawyer, politician and Regent-President of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1849. |
| Lajos Kossuth was born at Monok, a small town in the county of Zemplén as the oldest of four children. |
| By combining this nationalism with an insistence on the superiority of the Magyars to the Slavonic inhabitants of Hungary, he sowed the seeds of both the collapse of Hungary in 1849 and his own political demise. |
