The Surrender at Ozora, was an important event of the early stage of the Hungarian War of independence of 1848-1849. The 9,000 strong Croatian corps which invaded the Transdanubia region of Hungary, trying to join the Croatian main army led by Lieutenant General Josip Jelačić, which was sent by the Habsburg Empire to chase away the revolutionary government of Hungary, and reimpose the total imperial suvereignity over the country, was forced to surrender by Hungarian regular and insurrectionist forces led by Major Artúr Görgei and Colonel Mór Perczel. Thanks to this the Croatian invasion and the Habsburg plans against Hungary suffered a total defeat.
