| Tartalmi kivonat: | The War of Independence led by Ferenc Rákóczi II took place in Hungary between 1703 and 1711. The leaders of the revolt recognized they had to improve their army in order to fight succesfully against the Habsburg army. There were three Hungarian aristocrats, officers who had an important role in the military reforms: Count Miklós Bercsényi, Count Antal Eszterházy and Count Simon Forgách. The reforms can be divided into two distinct periods. The beginnings of the first period can be associated with the start of the revolt (1703) and the first period finished with the arrest of Simon Forgách (1706), the spiritual and effective leader of these military reforms. The second period of reforms took place between 1706 and 1711, the end of the war of independence. The second period of reforms can be connected with Count Bercsényi. Most regiments – cavalry and infantry alike – were more or less irregular at that time in Hungary. The reformers started to organize regular units, but Hungary did not have enough financial resources for a large standing army. The leaders of these reforms tried to organize the supply and production and purchase of war materials and weapons, too, but they did not have enough money. The organization of regular armies was a long process and needed a strong economy and a long time everywhere in contemporary Europe, but Rákóczi and his followers had only eight years for their efforts. From this point of view, although the war was lost against the Habsburg army, the Hungarian (so-called Kuruc) efforts can be regarded a respectable achievement. |
