the most important battles of the <a href="/wiki/Hungarian_War_of_Independence" class="mw-redirect" title="Hungarian War of Independence">Hungarian War of Independence</a>, fought on 26 April 1849, between the Hungarian and the <a href="/wiki/Habsburg_monarchy" title="Habsburg monarchy">Austrian Imperial</a> main armies, which some consider ended as a Hungarian victory, while others say that actually it was undecided. This battle was part of the Hungarian <a href="/wiki/Spring_Campaign" title="Spring Campaign">Spring Campaign</a>. After the revolutionary army attacked and broke the Austrian siege of the fortress, the Imperials, having received reinforcements which made them numerically very superior to their enemies, successfully counterattacked, but after stabilising their situation, they retreated towards <a href="/wiki/Gy%C5%91r" title="Győr">Győr</a>, leaving the trenches and much of their siege artillery in Hungarian hands. By this battle the Hungarian revolutionary army relieved the fortress of Komárom from a very long imperial siege, and forced the enemy to retreat to the westernmost margin of the Kingdom of Hungary. After this battle, following a long debate among the Hungarian military and political leaders about whether to continue their advance towards Vienna, the Habsburg capital, or towards the Hungarian capital, <a href="/wiki/Buda" title="Buda">Buda</a>, whose fortress was still held by the Austrians, the second option was chosen. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2></div> <p>The main purpose of the 1849 Hungarian Spring Campaign led by Artúr Görgei was to push the Habsburg main armies out of Hungary towards Vienna. The first phase of the Spring Campaign was successful, and the Hungarian victory at <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Isaszeg_(1849)" title="Battle of Isaszeg (1849)">Isaszeg</a><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (6 April 1849), forced the imperial forces to retreat from the territory east of the Hungarian capitals <a href="/wiki/Pest,_Hungary" title="Pest, Hungary">Pest</a> and Buda. On 7 April 1849 the Hungarian commanders elaborated another plan for the second phase of the campaign. According to this the Hungarian army was to split: General <a href="/wiki/Lajos_Aulich" title="Lajos Aulich">Lajos Aulich</a> remained in front of Pest with his Hungarian II <a href="/wiki/Corps" title="Corps">Corps</a> and Colonel Lajos Asbóth's <a href="/wiki/Division_(military)" title="Division (military)">division</a>, demonstrating to make the imperials believe that the whole Hungarian army was there; thus diverting their attention from the north, where the real Hungarian attack was to start with I, III and VII Corps moving west along the northern bank of the <a href="/wiki/Danube" title="Danube">Danube</a> to Komárom, to relieve it from the imperial siege.<sup id="cite_ref-auto6_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto6-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Gy%C3%B6rgy_Kmety" title="György Kmety"> Kmety</a>'s division of VII Corps was to cover the three corps's march, and after I and III Corps had occupied Vác, that division was to secure the town, while the rest of the troops together with the two remaining divisions of VII Corps were to advance to the <a href="/wiki/Hron" title="Hron"> Garam</a> river, then head south to relieve the northern section of the Austrian siege of the fortress of Komárom.<sup id="cite_ref-auto6_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto6-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After this, they had to cross the Danube and relieve the southern section of the siege.
