Why Was Hungary Punished So Severely After World War One? (Short Animated Documentary)

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.

@@KapiteinKrentebol When the war started the European bankers and economists thought that it couldn't possibly last very long because it was bad for trade and countries couldn't afford to keep such vast armies in the field, and indeed the major belligerents did go broke before too long, if it wasn't for US loans a much earlier armistice would've had to be made. It was because of the prospect of the Entente losing that forced the US to intervene to secure their loans, but the first wold war not only cost monarchies their thrones but cost countries their fortunes and particularly Britain and France their empires.

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.

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. (pages 168-169) (page 216) (pp. 334-335) (page 293) (page 305) (page 320) (pages 321 - 322)

[@cv990a4]

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.

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. .

[@ildikobalogh5662]

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.

To understand your history try to learn your neighbours history that is far old than 2000 years and then think about again.

There are many mistakes in this video. 1:04 - "Serbia" is shown in blue, but it is actually Yugoslavia. Southern Slavs have been subjected to foreign rule for centuries (Ottomans and Austrians-Hungarians) and we wanted out. The blue colour represents: Slovenians, Croats, Serbians, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Romanians, Slovaks etc. And this is just one mistake.

Hungarians are turanian therefore indo-europeanist NAZI 'west' always targeted them such as they treated to Turks.The 'west' has inferiority complex that's why they created fictional aryan ancestor theory which caused millions of deaths... That's why they don't like other civilizations. Believe or not... Even Hungarians forget, 'west' will never forget. They always call magyars as asian... Same for Turks(other turanians), west was also antijapan too until certain defeat of Japan. They see themselves as a superior therefore race like Turanians are obstacle infront of their fictional tales.

[@gigikontra7023]

But is there something in the Hungarian religion preventing Hungarians from living on land which is not nominally part of Hungary? I'm thinking like Israel or something?

[@gigikontra7023]

So what exactly did the Hungarians "lose" at Trianon? Because Transylvania at least had majority Romanian population and also the Transylvanian German minority voted to join Romania for fear of genocide by Hungarians. The Hungarians learnt to have same rights and obligations as all citizens. Is that bad? Why?

To better visualize how much the Hungary was broken by the treaty of Triannon, I will state 3 facts: 1. The Hungarian representative refused to sign it no matter what, eventually the Hungarian ambassador of France was called over and forced to do so, after that he immediately resigned from position and withdrew from public life. 2. The actual leader for Hungarian military and later government between the world wars was admiral Miklos Horthy... An ADMIRAL in now a landlocked nation cutted off from the sea and it's fleet. 3. As a protest Hungarians created and distributed a hilarious pamphlet about the USA dissolved in similiar faction, with new "Independent Ni**er State" gobbling up it's south and rest partitioned to UK, Mexico and Japan.

[@maximilianolimamoreira5002]

nice pun.

[@Timo0469]

@@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.
