See also:JELLACHICH, JOSEF, See also:COUNT (1801–1859) , Croatian states-See also:man, was See also:born on the 16th of See also:October 1801 at Petervarad. He entered the See also:Austrian See also:army (181g), fought against the Bosnians in 1845, was made See also:ban of Croatia, Slavonia and See also:Dalmatia in 1848 on the See also:petition of the Croatians, and was simultaneously raised to the See also:rank of See also:lieutenant-See also:general by the See also:emperor. As ban, Jellachich's policy was directed to preserving the Slav kingdoms for the See also:Habsburg See also:monarchy by identifying himself with the nationalist opposition to Magyar ascendancy, while at the same See also:time discouraging the extreme " Illyrism "advocated by Lodovik Gaj (1809–1872). Though his separatist See also:measures at first brought him into disfavour at the imperial See also:court, their true See also:objective was soon recognized, and, with the See also:triumph of the more violent elements of the Hungarian revolution, he was hailed as the most conspicuous See also:champion of the unity of the See also:empire, and was able to bring about that See also:union of the imperial army with the See also:southern Slays by which the revolution in See also:Vienna and See also:Budapest was overthrown (see See also:AUSTRIA-See also:HUNGARY: See also:History). He began the See also:war of See also:independence in See also:September 1848 by See also:crossing the See also:Drave at the See also:head of 40,000 Croats. After the bloody See also:battle of Buda he concluded a three days' truce with the Hungarians to enable him to assist See also:Prince See also:Windischgratz to reduce Vienna, and subsequently fought against the See also:Magyars at See also:Schwechat. During the See also:winter See also:campaign of 1848–49 he commanded, under Windischgratz, the Austrian right wing, capturing Magyar-See also:Ovar and Raab, and defeating the Magyars at M6r. After the recapture of Buda he was made See also:commander-in-See also:chief of the southern army.

At first he gained some successes against See also:Bern (q.v.), but on the 14th of See also:July 1849 was routed by the Hungarians at Hegyes and driven behind the See also:Danube. He took no See also:part in the See also:remainder of the war, but returned to See also:Agram to administer Croatia. In 18J3 he was appointed commander-in-chief of the army sent against See also:Montenegro, and in 1855 was created a count. He died on the 2oth of May 1859.
