The Treaty of Trianon was a peace treaty signed on June 4, 1920, between the Allies of World War I and Hungary. The treaty is considered one of the most significant events in modern Hungarian history, as it resulted in the loss of large portions of Hungarian territory, significant population displacement, and a reduction in political power. The Treaty of Trianon was part of a series of treaties that followed the end of World War I and redrew the map of Europe. Its primary objective was to reorganize the territories of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had been dissolved after its defeat in the war. Under the treaty, Hungary was forced to cede large portions of its land to neighboring countries, including Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and Romania. The treaty reduced Hungary's land area by about two-thirds and its population by more than one-third. The Treaty of Trianon had significant and long-lasting impacts on Hungary's economy, politics, and social fabric. For instance, Hungary lost its access to the Adriatic Sea, which had been a vital trading route. The loss of territory also had a significant impact on the country's agriculture, which was a crucial sector of the economy. The treaty resulted in the displacement of millions of Hungarians, who had to leave their homes and properties behind. The loss of people and resources made it challenging for Hungary to rebuild its economy and political power after the war. In addition to the loss of territory and population, the Treaty of Trianon had other significant provisions. Hungary's army was limited to 35,000 troops, and the country was prohibited from having an air force or navy. Hungary was also forced to pay war reparations to the Allies, which were later reduced. The treaty granted minority rights to various ethnic groups within Hungary, including Slovaks, Romanians, and Serbs. These minority rights were essential for protecting the interests of these groups within Hungary's borders, but they also created tensions between the Hungarian majority and these ethnic groups. The Treaty of Trianon was deeply unpopular in Hungary, and it is often seen as a national tragedy. The loss of territory and population was a severe blow to the country's economy and political power, and it created long-lasting tensions with neighboring countries. The treaty is still a sensitive issue in Hungary today, and its impact is still being felt in the region. The treaty contributed to the rise of nationalist sentiments in Hungary, and it was one of the factors that led to Hungary's alignment with Nazi Germany during World War II. In conclusion, the Treaty of Trianon was a significant event in modern Hungarian history, with far-reaching consequences. The treaty resulted in the loss of land, population displacement, and a reduction in political power. Its impact is still being felt in the region, and it is still a sensitive issue in Hungary today. The treaty serves as a reminder of the fragility of national borders, and it highlights the importance of diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution in international relations.

[@mushroomy9899]

ITS ACTUALLY A MACEDONIAN WORD 🔥

[@vasil.kamdzhalov]

Well for one reason or another ( as to avoid any results of claiming ones culture or territory for no real reason ) we in Bulgaria know that our revolutionaries when in trouble loved to go and live in Romania until things cool down or go to make uprisings. The reasons for this, turks didnt have rule of law there and that most of the vocabulary of the Romanian language was around 40% like that of Bulgarian, it was easy to understand, around that time Romania used cyrillic letters too but eventually wanted to distance itself from those connections to hold to the "true" heritage, that would be the latin one and dacians and sprincles of vlach somewhere there. Bulgarians didnt really object to that as comparing to the macedonians it was mostly because we lived really close to one another but still considered ourselves different.

[@Slayerxrt]

The correct word for mother in Bulgarian is майка, with the english pronounciation translation being мayka.

As a Turk, I really think that the greeks got their revenge for the conquest of Constantinople just a few days ago: so during the last and most recent tension between TR and GR, there was this slogan circulating in Turkey that was meant as a threat against GR, which can be roughly translated as "we could, unexpectedly, come to you one night" implying we could conquer GR within one single night or whatever. A lot of greeks were of course aware of this slogan^1. Fast forward after the earthquake in TR, like from any other nation, we of course got also aid packages etc by the Greeks (Turks and Greeks tend to become quite amicable during earthquakes, forrest fires etc). Now fkn guess what the Greeks snuck into those packages - a note that read "we could, unexpectedly, come to you one night to save your lifes". I don't know man, if this isn't one of the greatest burns in at least TR-GR history, if not in human history, I don't know what it is. That shit made me shake my head for the entirety of several days. We can call this whole animosity thing quits I guess, we are even now. 1.) since the sole purpose of their news outlets is analyzing political commotions in the neighboring country and talking smack about Turks due to their pathological obsession with TR (sry, as a Turk, I simply couldn't resist to throw some shade on ONE OF [sry dude's, you are not special to us] favorite frenemies.

So I'll keep it to myself. I'll just say that much: we did that. We lived together for several centuries. And yes (I know exactly how people will object that) it worked quite well. I actually got to know older people who grew up in İstanbul of the 1930s, so a decade before the last and final expulsion of Greeks and other minorities from Turkey - and all of them recounted absolutely wonderful and heartwarming anecdotes, full with acts of kindness and solidarity. But that's gone, we are simply too deep into certain patterns of thought, we have adopted concepts that are not our own, concepts that are neither a product of our history nor of our culture for far too long to shake them off, there's no turning back at this point. A man in power (doesn't matter who it is rn) once said: "the beauty of a garden lies in the diversity and variety of its flowers.

As long as they exist, politicians are going to take advantage of their hatred to get votes easily and make the tension between those two countries even worse, so it's unlikely we unite at least for now.

The history of the Balkans was influenced by the Ottoman, Habsburg and Tsarist empires. They imposed their own policies, denationalized territories, imposed religions, created agreed minorities and started wars in the region. Those who lived or live in the Balkans manifest a primary nationalism and invoke, I was the first here, my religion was originally here, etc. The first world war started in the Balkans. In the 90s, crimes against humanity took place here, in the name of nationalism. The Balkans must eliminate extremist nationalism. The future of the region is integration into the European Union, a union in which you can travel only with an ID card, buy your house and live your life in any member country of the union. The good news is that all the Balkan countries want European integration.

I think for Romanians from the older generation, they still see ethnic Hungarians as colonizers, something that Ceauşescu did push (at least according to my mom). I think that view is wrong as the Hungarians who currently live in Romania did not choose where they were born. But as a Romanian in the diaspora (yes I was born in Romania and went through 6 years of Romanian public school), it is hard for me to hate any Eastern European except pro-Putin Russians.

Coming out of the east, they struggled across the great mountains, and began to fight against the neighboring Vlakhs and Slavs. For the Slavs had settled there first, but the Vlakhs had seized the territory of the Slavs. The Magyars subsequently expelled the Vlakhs, took their land, and settled among the Slavs, whom they reduced to submission. 29 From that time this territory was called Hungarian.

The Balkans is a peninsula with many highly intelligent people, with an extremely high level of hospitality and full of stubborn people. It is astonishing that this applies to all Balkan peoples and that their mentality does not differ from one another. But... according to the laws of nature, there is a certain balance everywhere, so the negative qualities are opposed to the positive qualities mentioned. If the nations of the Balkans were to unite and found a federative republic, I am sure that this union would be unbeatable. Provided they manage to curb corruption 🤣
