As a Hungarian when I was in Northern Europe (exact destination not stated on purpose), I wanted to visit a really nice mountain. There was a bus going there regularly, and turns out, the driver was a Romanian, working there. It was almost instant friendship. We immediately had a bunch of relatable things to talk about, from corrupt politicians, to the weather being terrible to the crops in both our countries, to the roads in Hungary being shit, but the roads in Romania being even shittier. He knew how to say I love you in Hungarian and several other things, because his wife was of Hungarian descent. When we arrived at our destination I thanked him in Romanian, which drew a big smile from him. But guess what, the lift operator at the foot of the mountain was a Croatian! How did I know? Because he recognized some Hungarian words from me immediately. He said he met a lot of Hungarian tourists back in Croatia and they were always friendly. I told him what a coincidence that "half" of Eastern Europe is meeting here at this random mountain so far away. Well he quickly corrected me Croatia is not Eastern Europe, haha! Everything was perfectly friendly. This is the real world. Not the bitter comments you might read here, or on other social media. Don't give in to corrupt politicians trying to win some votes by talking shit about your neighbors! (Bonus: I met a mountain tour-guide in Slovenia who also immediately started talking about Budapest as soon as he learned I was Hungarian. I asked him which places he visited: the parliament, the castle, the fisherman's bastion? He said only strip clubs but they were f***ing great :D )

They didn't contribute in any way to that decision. Should a Hungarian born in the last 40 years feel bad for the mistreatment of minorities in the Austro-Hungarian empire? All that matters is what we do now and in the future. The nations of the Carpathian are a great force and there's a reason all foreign powers wanted to divide us since forever. If only we could unite and support each other... we are the people who suffered so much and came through it. We are the ones who never surrender. Romanians, Slovakians, Ukrainians, Serbians, Croatians, Slovenians, Hungarians... a hundred tragedies of history and yet here we all are.

Interesting video topic to cover. Like Poland, Hungary seems to have had very bad luck throughout history! But the fact they survived their harsh history is amazing, as so many nations and empires vanish instead.

[@gigikontra7023]

Hungary had a lot of bad luck: 4 million Transylvanian Romanian slaves decided to secede and unite with Romania, despite the fact that the wise "superior race" 25% Hungarian minority did not agree with that. Ahhh, such injustice! Why Romanians don't understand that DEMOCRACY NOT GOOD! Only listen to "superior races". That is good!

[@szakaattila7899]

The history of Poland was very similar to the history of Hungary, because the elite layer came from roughly the same Scythian - Sarmatian - Hun elite layer, while the Hungarians were mainly Scythian Huns, while the Poles were mainly Sarmatian. And there is evidence that these elite military tribes kept in touch with each other, because, for example, Hungarian kings or kings' sons often fled to Poland, such as the sons of Vazul as early as the time of the first Hungarian King, Saint Stephen. But the Poles also became Catholics when St. Stephen was still young, at roughly the same time as the Hungarians, the Poles also received authorization for a European Catholic kingdom from the Pope! Then there are also a lot of parallels, that these were the two great kingdoms in Europe that opposed the Mongol invasion very hard, and today there are clear data that it is thanks to the Poles and Hungarians that the Mongol-Tatars did not reach Western Europe! The interests of the two peoples and kingdoms began to diverge with the Ottoman conquests, mainly because the Turks attacked the north half from the south, and thus Hungary was really the only thing in their way, after the Balkan states all failed and even the southern parts of Italy were lost under the Ottoman siege. At that time, the Poles were occupied by conflicts with the Eastern Slavs and Tatars,, but the invasion of the Ottomans did not affect Poland much, while Hungary bled in the southern and eastern areas for more than three hundred years and lost millions of people, until then the Poles were not very involved in these wars. Of course, there was a Hungarian prince from Transylvania, István Báthory, who was chosen by the Poles as their king and who seems to have been quite successful as a Polish king, but he could not even persuade the Polish lords to join the war against the Ottomans. After the expulsion of the Ottomans from Hungary, the Poles and the Hungarians found each other again, because the Habsburgs took over the place of the Ottomans, who also claimed the territories of the Poles and the Hungarians! But the problem was that while the Thökölys, Rákóczis, and Wesselényis always kept Hungarian interests in mind and therefore waged bloody battles against the Habsburgs even with the help of the Poles, some of the Hungarian lords all tried to come to terms with the Habsburgs. And these lords and their successors brought Hungary into that union with the Austrians, from which Hungary and the Hungarian people could only come out as losers at the end of the First World War, and brought all the devastation and loss of territory to the country that the Hungarian people did not deserve!

Hungarians in the big cities of Transylvania like Cluj, Brasov and Oradea are cool and friendly. I am just tired to read hateful youtube comments from the Hungarians in the small mountain villages inside Romania. And yes, I am happy that people talk about the history of central and eastern Europe because otherwise it minimizes the importance of our history and cultures.

8:20 It's actually the Principality of Transylvania, not Upper Hungary. The last sovereign monarch of Hungary, King John Szapolyai I. fled to Transylvania, estabilishing the Kingdom of Eastern Hungary. His son could've maintained that title, but decided not to, so he became the first voivode of Transylvania instead. Upper Hungary later gained 'independence', and was ruled by a different prince, than that of Transylvania's. Both had de-facto independencd, but were Ottoman vassals.

Finally, somebody from hungary that recognizes the fact that Transilvania, for hundreds of years was an Ottoman vassal, an autonomous region after, and only in recent years, before ww1, was it integrated in the austrian empire (later austro-hungarian) but by then it had a romanian majority, that's why we got it and still have it, even though we lost ww2.

What we call today Eastern Hungary was still Kingdom of Hungary until 1570. The Habsburgs ruled something called Royal Hungary which Ferdinand and Maximilian wanted to unite with "Eastern Hungary" but after John the First died, his son John Sigismund Zapolya abandoned his title of Elected King of Hungary and wasn't crowned with the Holy Crown of Hungary but Maximilian II was Crowned with it as the King of Royal Hungary.

The circular painting was originally exhibited in Budapest, and later transferred to Opusztaszer, today's National Memorial Historic Park. So, this painting clearly shows that Hungarians came in a populated region and that they were brutal invaders, who burned settlements, looted, killed and enslaved the population they found.

If I remember correctly from history lessons Northern Hungary was fully independent and was seeking polish support to push back both the ottomans and the habsburgs. Transylvania offered itself to be a vassal state, mostly keeping autonomy but the sultan responded to unwanted laws by raiding southern cities/villages. Western hungary was as you mentioned ruled by habsburgs. There was a war that later got most of Northern Hungary to the habsburgs. Transylvania was the naughtiest of them all by offering the habsburgs rule over the country while still paying taxes to the ottomans and they did that at least 3 times.

Positioning of a few map overlays are inaccurate - sometimes to a misleading extent. At 13:39, this is pretty noticeable. The part, where Bács-Bodrog is written (and the city of Arad, Nagyvárad, Szatmárnémeti, Kassa), does not belong currently to Hungary just to note a few. Bigger rivers and short names of bigger cities could have given a clue about where the white overlay should have been positioned.

About Upper Hungary: It's a bit complicated, so I had to dig in, and here's what I found: The leader of the Principality of Upper Hungary was Thököly Imre, who lost his family and most of its land to the Habsburg, which, as you said, ruled Royal Hungary, because they thought, that his father was in a plot against the Habsburgs. He collected all the people in Transylvania and Royal Hungary, who hated the Habsburg rule (they're called "bujdosók" in Hungarian, later "kurucok"), and created a small army. He was supported by the Ottomans of course because they had the same enemy. He was able to conquer quite a land for himself, and in 1682, the Ottomans crowned him as king of Hungary, and thus Upper Hungary was born, as an Osman vassal state. It didn't last long though, because in 1685 the Habsburgs finally have beaten the Ottomans, recapturing Buda in 1686, and he lost his territory. He tried multiple times to get back his land but failed, and in 1690 he became the leader of Transylvania, but for one month.

A couple of corrections. The partition of Hungary after the Battle of Mohács was a little different. It fell into the Turkish occupied part, Royal Hungary and the Eastern Hungarian Kingdom (not Upper Hungary which was only a very short lived creation) that later became the Principality of Transylvania. Upper Hungary was in fact split between Royal Hungary and Transylvania The other point: the encircled territory that you refer to as Hungarian majority in 1918 is actually way bigger (+ca. 20-25%) than Hungary is today. The 3rd one: the territorial gains before and during WW2 are nowhere near to the size of Hungary before WW1.

The majority is on the side of "yes, it was erring on the side of our current neighbors, but cannot be considered illogical if you wanted to give each nation its own country" (still, the quite extreme thought of the former Yugoslavia questions this intention a bit) imo the pre- and during ww2 borders (some variants of 1938-1941) have correlated the most to the then-actual distribution of nations, but as 100 years since Trianon treaty and 80 since ww2, there's really nothing to reconsider now. Virtually noone alive has been personally affected by border changes, and no sensible grandparent would tell its grandchildren to fight and risk their lives for the territories my country once had, 'in the days when i was your age. Now go and shoot your neighbor'. There are no irreconcilable differences between our and our neighbours cultural backgrounds, also the borders are quite easy to cross (at least within EU/Schengen area they are virtually nonexistent), and speaking in general, minorities on any side of the borders are treated in an adequately tolerable way (of course, with less or more room for improvement on both political and individual levels). In general, EU seems as the local guarantee for long term peace, byforcing fair minority policies, having open borders, being able to relocate to anywhere, common currency (maybe later...), and also a strong economical interdependence (or a common dependence on german car industry). Only a generally accepted common language is what i think we truly miss, as only a relatively low share of population speak even a little English in the CEu region (compared to other eu regions with the exception of France :D)

And also there was the case of Sopron (a big city nowadays) where they held a referendum about which country they want to be with, and they joined Hungary against Austria. Another plus information: After WW2, Hungary didn't get the exact same borders as it had before the war, 3 more villages were also taken away from then.

I am (italian-)hungarian, and I have been travelled all over what we could call "old/big" hungary, and most of the time, it didn't feel hungarian. The people there did not speak hungarian, nor considered themselves to be hungarian. Different culture, lifestyle and mindset was what awaited me in the locals. The only big exception where I felt like I was in Hungary was when I was traveling through Romania's Harghita, Covasna and Mureş counties. Basically modern day Székely-land. And parts of Vojvodina. Most of the other places were never really inhabited by hungarians, nor influenced by them. In hungary you see many people praising "old-hungary", most of the time they put stickers on their cars which resemble it. But... I don't quite get it... A great example is my stepfather, who is very much nationalistic (and has very... "interesting"... far-right views). Who, when I was younger, used to tell me that millions of hungarians were trapped outside of hungary when the treaty happened. Saying that all lost territories were inhabited 100% by hungarians, he is not the only one who I've heard this from. But this is not really true... as where hungarians actually lived has a similar territory-shape to as of modern day hungary (except for that exclave in Transylvania). I'm not sure whether if the people are just uneducated... or ignorant. I'm a bit sad. Because this obviously comes with hate towards other ethnicities (I tend to often hear my father call romanians "dirty gypsies", or basically cuss at any other ethnicity that is not hungarian, he also tends to abuse me and my mother for being half-italian) and this thing passes on from generation to generation. The majority of the time the aggression comes from hungarians. Which really saddens me honestly. Because I have had many friends from all over the world... and it is really not history, nor their government which defines them (supposing they can think freely, lol)

Fun facts: neither Czechoslovakia, Romania or Yugoslavia had referendum in 1920 when Hungary was butchered to pieces. In fact, the exercise was not more than a land grab based on our lies, which the French and the Britishtook prima facie. For example, Benes told the peace committee in Versailles that a creek in the eastern city of Sátoraljaújhely was a ‘navigable river’ suitable for a future border. Of course, he forgot to mention the committee that this way Czechoslovakia acquired an important regional railway hub in that city. The Romanians also took a lot of territories with a Hungarian majority, for example Partium (an area which now lies in Romania close to the Hungarian border). Thus they acquired a strategically important railway line between Arad and Szatmárnémeti. Of course all this was done under the lofty ideas of ‘self-determination’. Despicable lies, that the victorious French and British took hook, line and sinker.
