The 1848–1849 massacres in Transylvania were the massacres committed during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.
Massacres against the Romanians
The massacre of Mihalţ on the 29th of June 1848 ended up with shooting of 50 Romanians by the Hungarian troops and injuring of another 70. The event got more attention after being published in the newspaper Die Siebenbürger Bote.[1] After entering Blaj on 18 January 1849, the Hungarian troops committed crimes against Romanian population, and victims included even beggars and old people.[1]
Massacres against the Hungarians
In 1848 and 1849, the Hungarians in Transylvania became exposed to the opposition and repressions of Wallachians and Transylvanian Saxons.[2] A number of massacres were committed mostly by those who were supporting the efforts of the Austrian Emperor to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. On 18 October 1848, Wallachians attacked and murdered the inhabitants of the village of Kisenyed, located near to Hermannstadt.[2][3] Another important event of the 1848–1849 conflict was massacre at Nagyenyed (today Aiud) (8–9 January 1849). During the event, Wallachians massacred around 600 people in the town.[4] Additionally, the troops of Transylvanian Romanians organized by Avram Iancu massacred Hungarians in Zalatna (today Zlatna) and Körösbánya (Baia de Criş).[5] During the massacre of Zalatna, in October 1848 about 640 citizens [6] of the town were killed including the teachers, priests, doctors and merchants of the town. The massacre was incited and led by a local Romanian lawyer called Dobra Petru.[7] Thirteen thousand gold and twenty thousand silver coins were robbed from the town's treasury. Thirty Hungarians were killed in Boklya.[8] About 200 Hungarians were massacred in Gerendkeresztúr (Grindeni)[8] and some 90 beaten to death near Marosújvár (Ocna Mureş).[9]
