The Winter Campaign refers to the series of campaigns of the Austrian imperial army led by Field Marshal Alfred I, Prince of Windisch-Grätz in the winter of 1848 against the Kingdom of Hungary during the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848–1849. As a result of this, the imperial troops occupied much of Hungary, but the Hungarian resistance did not cease; but managed to stop Windisch-Grätz's advance on the line of the Tisza River and at the same time, capture much of Transylvania.
