Editing Kingdom of Rovenia (section)

=== Nineteenth century and national awakening ===
During the [[w:Napoleonic Wars|Napoleonic Wars]], southern Rovenia was temporarily annexed into the French-administered [[w:Illyrian Provinces|Illyrian Provinces]] (1809–1813), introducing the [[w:Napoleonic Code|Napoleonic Code]] and legal equality. Following the [[w:Congress of Vienna|Congress of Vienna]], a cultural revival movement known as the *Rovensko Preporod* (Rovenian Rebirth) emerged, led by scholars like Milan Horvat who standardized the written Rovenian language and published folk literature.

The [[w:Revolutions of 1848|Revolutions of 1848]] triggered mass demonstrations in Veligrad, demanding an independent ministry, press freedoms, and the complete abolition of serfdom. Although imperial forces restored order in 1849, feudalism was permanently dismantled.

Following the defeat of the Hohenberg Monarchy in the [[w:Austro-Prussian War|Austro-Prussian War]] (1866), Rovenian political leaders resisted dualist division. Negotiation led to the Tripartite Settlement of 1871, re-establishing Rovenia as an autonomous constitutional kingdom within an Imperial Federation alongside Austria and Hungary. Rovenia gained its own Prime Minister, Parliament (*Sabor*), and control over internal affairs, while sharing defense and foreign policy under the common monarch.
