In the present study, the author focuses on selected military-historical contexts of the tragic events, known in the historical sphere as the so-called Prešov Revolt. In particular, this was the revolt of the Austro-Hungarian Army reserve units, which took place in Prešov from the night of the 31st October to the 1st November 1918. The aforementioned revolt was subsequently brought to an end by the intervention of the called-in assistance units and the mass execution of 43 people in the centre of the town. In this context, the author is interested only in the return of the reserve battalion of Infantry Regiment 67 to Prešov in 1918, the issue of the deployment and activities of the local military garrison in the period in question, the position of the revolt among other similar turning points in the reserve units of the Austro-Hungarian Army, and also the situation in the civilian sector. The author’s effort was to bring some new information, or the context of the so-called Prešov Revolt, and at the same time to draw the attention of researchers to other potential research directions.
