The Slovak uprising of 1848–1849 (Slovak: Slovenské povstanie), Slovak Volunteer Campaigns (Slovak: Slovenské dobrovoľnícke výpravy), Slovak Revolt or the Slovak Revolution occurred in Western parts of Upper Hungary (today mostly Western Slovakia) with the aim of equalizing Slovaks, democratizing political life and achieving social justice within the 1848–49 revolutions in the Habsburg Monarchy. It lasted from September 1848 to November 1849. In October 1848, Slovak leaders replaced their original Hungaro-federal program by Austro-federal, called for the separation of a Slovak district (Slovak: Slovenské Okolie) from the Kingdom of Hungary and for the formation of a new autonomous district within the framework of the Habsburg Monarchy.
