The Autumn Campaign refers to the series of military campaigns and revolts during the autumn of 1848 in the Kingdom of Hungary, Principality of Transylvania (1711–1867), Lower Austria, Duchy of Styria, and Syrmia during the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848–1849. In the fall of 1848, the Hungarian army successfully repelled the Croatian offensive led by Lieutenant General Josip Jelačić at Pákozd. The Hungarians then attempted to support the revolution in Vienna, but they were defeated by the Austrians at Schwechat. Meanwhile, the Serbian uprising in southern Hungary continued, and Austrian troops led by Lieutenant General Anton Puchner revolted in Transylvania. With the support of the Romanian rebellion, the Austrians drove the Hungarian units out of the province. However, these battles reinforced the combat value of the Hungarian troops and the experience of the young Hungarian officers. This greatly contributed to stopping the Austrian winter offensive that began in December.
