Ban Jelačić proclaims wartime independence, opposition to Habsburgs, unity with Hungary in Zagreb.

On 19-Apr-1848, Ban Jelačić's proclamation in Zagreb marked a pivotal moment in Croatia's history. Ban Jelačić, a key figure in the Croatian national revival, declared the end of serfdom and called for a unified Croatia which would be part of the Habsburg Monarchy. This proclamation sparked a wave of nationalism and patriotism among the Croatian people, laying the groundwork for the country's eventual path towards independence and self-determination. Ban Jelačić's leadership during this time has since been celebrated as a symbol of Croatian sovereignty and resilience. #Croatia #BanJelačić #Zagreb #NationalRevival #HabsburgMonarchy #Independence
