  • The Kingdom of Hungary (part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) lost about 70% of its land and 65% of its population after its defeat in World War One. Making it perhaps the greatest loser of the war, despite most of the blame being placed firmly in Germany's lap. But why? Why was Hungary punished so harshly? To find out watch this short and simple animated history documentary.

      There was a lot of support for Romania, and one French general considered it a sort of French colony in Eastern Europe, and whatever would be good for Romania would be good for France too.
      Still, most French politicians wanted to turn Hungary into an ally, but Romania, an ally of France, occupied Hungary in 1919, put a Romanian „căciulă” on top of Hungary's parliamentary building, as a sign of Romanian victory, and France could do nothing about it.
      This, in the end, resulted in them becoming unable to pull Hungary to their side, and trying to make an ally out of Hungary would have meant losing Romania, which was far more important to French interest and to securing Europe from communism, especially as they repelled an invasion by Lenin in 1920.

    As part of the AustroHungarin Empire, Hungary's Dual Monarchy role was administrative with no standing to negotiate at the international level, which was retained in Vienna . Austria disolved their half of the monarchy and in the face of secessionist movements backed by the victors failed to represent for the territories administered by Hungary at the Treaty negotiations but insisted on retaining title to the Hungarian crown after the country was cut up. .

    For those who would like to know more about the etno-national context of Hungary before 1920, in which Trianon happened, down here are some quotes from Oszkar Jászi (1875-1957), The Dissolution of the Habsburg Monarchy (The Univ. of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois, 1929 [1964]).
    Jászi was a Hungarian social scientist, historian, and politician, active promoter and supporter of the social, political and national reform in Hungary, before WW1. In the October Revolution of 1918, he joined the Károlyi government as Minister of Nationalities. His plan was "to induce the leaders of the various peoples, mainly the Romanians, Slovaks, and Ruthenians, to keep their people within the borders of Hungary by offering them maximum autonomy," but the attempt failed. Oszkar Jászi was a friend of the great Magyar poet Endre Ady, and one of the few Hungarian politicians that was respected among the elites of minorities living in Austria-Hungary, especially among the Romanians.

      Yes, the video ignores years of Magyarization by the Hungarians over the many people in then-Hungary who were not Hungarian.
      The current borders of Hungary, which were imposed after WWI, left a decent number of ethnic Hungarians outside the border. Today that's still somewhat true, but the impact of 30 years of freedom after the fall of the Iron Curtain means that's less true every year as there's near continuous migration. There are now, in round numbers, about 1mm Magyars in Romania, 0.422mm in Slovakia, 250K in Serbia and 150K in Ukraine (pre war). By contrast, in 1989, there were 163K in Ukraine, 1.625MM Romania (1992), 0.567MM Slovakia (1991) and 343K Serbia (1991). So the number of Hungarians in the surrounding countries is in pretty continuous steep decline.

We revolted in 1848 and we were close to a brighter future, but they shat themselves and called in the russians. After this incident, they had no choice later on but to include us at least a bit, but they still dominated us pretty much. It's our nation's shame that we let those clowns rule us for centuries.

      Austria kinda threatened to form a country with Germany. Since both countries speak German it would have been easy. This made UK and France to let them off easy since their main goal was to get rid of a strong country in the middle of Europe and make their enemies weaker to keep the power to themselves. I hope no one believes that all these countires were created out of love or some kind of respect on the winner sides. They really didn't give a fuck about anyone just themselves. If they actualy have given any fuck they would have gone with the American proposal. They just wanted to make sure no one will be strong enough to start anything in the area. It is just Hungary got on the unlucky side while other nations were lucky. That's it. And beacsue of these weird fucked up decisions there are still fighting here and there ever since. That's why African and Arabic countries became like that as well. Cause some random people made some lines on a map as borders without any kind of care about those poeple who live there.

    Funny enough (and sadly) Hungary had a similar position in WW2. Hungary was embracing anti-communism and nationals but weren’t exactly fans of Nazism. But their trade was almost completely reliant on the Germans and Italians. The Hungarians still preferred the western democracies and republics, but for the sake of reclaiming what many considered rightfully theirs and maintaining their economy, Hungary realized their only option was to ally with the Axis Powers. Hungary constantly looked for a way out of the alliance without sacrifice their sovereignty to Berlin or Moscow, even entering talks with the Western Allies in 1943 to create an anti-communist alliance, but this deal fell through as it caught too much attention from Hitler. Hungary was thus viewed much more favorably by the Western Allies then they were 27 years ago, especially when compared to other Axis powers. There was just one problem though: they were occupied by the Soviets.

    It was not really about punishment. It was about the winners of the war not wanting a powerful central European country. They wanted small countries squabbling with each other. This is why (despite claiming to want to help other nationalities) the new borders didn't even resemble the ethnic distributions, forming huge enclaves of populations, practically guaranteeing inter-ethnic conflict for many decades to come. This seems like having been done on purpose, to prevent any powerful alliance of central-eastern European countries to form in the future.

      @@mastermindd The Treaty of Trianon and political instability between 1919 and 1924 led to a major inflation of Hungary's currency. In 1921, in an attempt to stop this inflation, the national assembly of Hungary passed the Hegedüs reforms, including a 20% levy on bank deposits, but this precipitated a mistrust of banks by the public, especially the peasants, and resulted in a reduction in savings, and thus an increase in the amount of currency in circulation. Due to the reduced tax base, the government resorted to printing money, and in 1923 inflation in Hungary reached 98% per month.
