Surrender at Világos

The Surrender at Világos (Hungarian: világosi fegyverletétel), which was the formal end of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, took place on 13 August 1849, at Világos (now Șiria, Romania). The terms were signed by General Artúr Görgey of the Hungarian Revolutionary Army on the rebels' side and Count Theodor von Rüdiger of the Imperial Russian Army. Following the capitulation, General Julius Jacob von Haynau was appointed Imperial plenipotentiary in the country and brutally re-subjugated it.
