Kibújós

Kibújós is a Hungarian term that translates to "hiding place" or "shelter" in English. It refers to a specific type of fortified structure or defensive position used during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-1849. These kibújós were typically small, fortified shelters or trenches dug into the ground, designed to provide cover and protection for revolutionaries against the forces of the Habsburg Empire.

The kibújós were often constructed in remote or strategically important locations, such as hillsides, forests, or near villages. They were built using local materials and were designed to be easily defensible. The revolutionaries would retreat to these kibújós when faced with enemy attacks, using them as a base for guerrilla warfare and resistance against the imperial forces.

The kibújós played a significant role in the Hungarian Revolution, providing a means for the revolutionaries to evade capture and continue their fight for independence. However, they were also vulnerable to enemy attacks and were often abandoned or destroyed by the imperial forces. Despite their temporary nature, the kibújós are an important part of the history of the Hungarian Revolution and serve as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the revolutionaries in their struggle for freedom.
