Conspiracy suppressed before uprising could occur The May Conspiracy (Czech: Májové spiknutí) was an unsuccessful attempt of radical democrats in the Czech lands to overthrow the government of Austrian Empire in May 1849.

The club attracted radical students and local intelligentsia and remained active after revolutions of 1848 were suppressed.

In March 1849, Mikhail Bakunin, a Russian Pan Slavic revolutionary, visited Prague and suggested to organize an armed uprising in Prague and several German-speaking cities as a response to post-1848 political reaction.

[1] Seventy-nine young radicals were sentenced to prison, and most of them were released in general amnesty on 8 May 1857.

Others fled to Britain, but had to devote their efforts to survival with little ability to further the revolution as exiles.
