The Conservative Party (Hungarian: Konzervatív Párt, pronounced [ˈkonzɛrvɒtiːv ˈpaːrt]) was one of the most influential political groups of the National Assembly of the 1840s in Hungary. The group was led by Emil Dessewffy. In 1849, after long debates, the Conservatives temporarily set aside their differences with their greatest political opponent, the left-wing Opposition Party, and united for the duration of the war to demonstrate national unity to Hungarian society. The reason: Hungary faced immense military and political pressure when it became clear that it had to fight not only against the armies of the Habsburgs but also against the forces of the Russian Tsar.
