To be fair, 75% of that very thin strip were of German/Austrian descent Edit: For all those complaining, I was giving further context to this very specific point. Furthermore, all those who are pointing out other parts of the empire being given to other countries. Where in my statement did I mention them? I was talking about this one strip of land. Not any others.
As an American who lived in Hungary for 8 years, married a Croatian and now live in Croatia for the past 4 years, this was an amazing video! I see the Hungarian influences all over Croatia in some of the castles and some of the surnames I see around. Great video.
Horvath is among first 10 surenames in Hungary. Hungarians are our brothers whom we do not understand a word but we lived more or less politically in peace (in personal union btw Croatian kingdom and Hungarian kingdom) for 800+years. Croatia is more under Austrian influence (in north - architecture, german influance in language) and Italian (on coast) than Hungarian but for an American it is all the same ;)
"Fun" fact: after WWI the Slavic countries wanted to have a bridge between the northern and southern Slavic nations, and for that they wanted to take now-Burgenland from Hungary. In the end the Entente didn't let them having the bridge but took the territory from Hungary anyway and gave it to Austria who was also defeated in the war
Burgenland was given to Austria because a plebiscite took place and except for one city, other cities and towns decided to join Austria. It's important to note that more than 70% of the Burgenland was ethnically German at the time.
Greetings from slovakia. We lived in harmony for most of the time. Our modern history may be little bit rough but ultimately we are similar. Let's hope for better future without hate ✌️

@@KobraTHFC Nobody hurts Slovaks in Hungary. Unfortunately, Hungarians in Slovakia are not liked by many Slovaks. I was in a ski camp in Slovakia when I was a child. in 1989. In front of a buffet, a Slovak shot a Hungarian in the head because he was upset that he spoke Hungarian. There was a case in Bratislava where two boys brutally beat a girl because she was speaking Hungarian on her phone. The Slovak state wanted to convict the girl. In a Slovak museum, a painting was thrown into the corner because it depicted a Hungarian. Hungarian tourists came once and they all photographed this painting. The museum staff did not understand what they were photographing in that painting depicting an unknown Hungarian. Well, because this man founded this museum. Slovaks simply erase their history if it has a Hungarian aspect. Shame.
As a Romanian living in France I like to meet Hungarians, they always prove to be friendly and happy to help, my best friend in a Hungarian from Budapest. At a government level Hungary helped and is helping Romania; they supported us to join the EU and are in top 5 of our economic partners. 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. For example it was very hard for me to find a video about Trianon in French, people simply don't care about the East.

@@makavelisoft I had to use Google Translate so I might not get exactly what you said, but your comment does not make any sense to me. Romanians were the ones that dreamt of "Great Romania" in the first place and guess what, they even made it happen. What does respect have to do with the other one's wishes ("dreams" if you like)? Do you really expect Hungarians dreaming of being (or even becoming) part of Romania? We are Hungarians, obviously, we want to live in the same country with our brothers like we did before. The fact that it's impossible is another story. It's absolutely our business whether we (or anyone, for that matter) like to live in Romania or not.
I remember being on an international camp about a decade ago, where two participants, an Hungarian and a Romanian had an intense dislike for each other - which completely spoiled the camp. Every night became a hostile shouting match about which past family members were massacred by each other’s countries. I never went on another international camp, but I remember the host saying he would request that they couldn’t have people who bore grudges against other nations. On a plus note, both men tried to out do each other on how much firewood they could chop - and between them they chopped about three cords!
Anyone else think the Treaty of Trianon was a bit harsh on Hungary? I mean they didn't wanna join WW1, they were forced to. Also if any Hungarians are watching and seeing this comment, love from the US 🇺🇲❤️🇭🇺

@@Drakrau_TheDerg a "small but lod minority", mostly right-wing extremists think it was totally unjust and should be revisioned. 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)
is it a question that the treaty was a bit harsh? what would you say if your country were 1/3 part of it, and even 100 years later your nation were oppressed by the winners? just because Austria wanted a war. are you foreigners totally ignorant?
@timeanagy8495 I just meant that did anyone else think it was harsh.. And I may be a dumb American, but I know enough about history to agree with the Hungarians that the Treaty of Trianon was harsh on Hungary.
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 still hold a large chunk of hungarian land. the hungarians are the most heroic nation in europe. they came as a union of tribes and subdued all their enemies and survived and thrived. there are few examples in history like that where a people can achieve so much from scratch.
Ignore the troll above my comment. I’m a Hungarian living in the Uk and has worked with a lot of our neighbours. I only encountered one anti Hungarian but after a talk he has realised we are just people and we have a lot shared culture even tho he was 20+ years older than me he turned out to be a great guy and completely changed his views. Somehow it just feels like whatever is happening on different platforms when it comes to the fallen Hungarian kingdom and they neighbours is so much different in real life.
@@soulkrsxxx im not hate mongering. hungary has and should keep good relations with his neighbours. however, we cannot ignore that the great powers of the time have robbed hungary.
@@williamwallace-m4v The powers did indeed robbed Hungary. But so should a Romanian who was born in 1982 should feel bad? A Slovakian born in 1993 should feel bad? 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. I wish we would unite again, not as a single country, but as people who share a common goal and common values.
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.
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!
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!
the difference is that hungarians weren't in fact european at all but asian. They should be happy that they still have a country to live in, taken that they only made bad moves in recent history

The Principality of Upper Hungary was only a short lived renegade state rebbelling against royal Habsburg rule supported by the Ottomans. While the Principality of Transylvania, sometimes refered to as Eastern Hungary in english sources became a stable Ottoman vassal, a rival of royal Hungary. Transylvania's rule extended into eastern Hungary and was ruled by a protestant Hungarian elite.
@@OrthodoxCrusader83 Your nationalistic fever doesn't change the fact that I was simply pointing out that some english sources refer to The Principality of Transylvania as The Kingdom of Eastern Hungary.
I watch every one of your videos for about 2 years, I really enjoy them, thank you for making a Hungary related one! Cheers (or Egészségedre ) from Hungary!
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.
YES! 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.
@@makavelisoft Its something that every Hungarian knows. This era is a large material in Hungarian elementary school. Later it is teached in more detail in middle school.
He didn't establish Eastern Hungary, that's a title used by modern Historians to distinguish the realm of King Zapolya and his sons realm John Sigismund Zapolya. 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. So after the Treaty of Spreyer marked a new Semi-independent Principality which would be Transylvania.
Hungary and Croatia had the same king because wife of last Croatian King was Hungarian and the nobles accepted that king "Pacta Conventa" but in reallity Croatia always had its own parliament and autonomy.
it is called personal union....as we were taught, we created a union, wich worked for hundreds of years....but I am not afraid of that the European Union would have such a long life
The Croatian-Hungarian Coalition was formed in the 13th century because by those times the croatians had got that much fed up from the decades(if not centuries) long attacks from the venetians that they asked us to protect them with Croatia joining our kingdom! 😉

Yes, sadly after Hungary was defeated by the ottomans and millions killed/population reduced by 20-40%, Hungary was never the same. Some people still to this day have hard time accepting that once the population was 70% hun and 30% neighboured nation is now 10%hun And 90% other and reducing. People still hope that if we would take back those lands we could recover the traditions or start over after the 1500s. But it's just not possible and we don't want to hurt people there today for our history.
@@heb-agar6119 The painting titled The Arrival of the Hungarians is the largest Hungarian work of art to date. It shows the arrival of the Hungarians to their new homeland: the moment when, under the leadership of Arpad, the Hungarian tribes cross the border of the Carpathian Basin in the Verecka Gorge. 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. Hungarians should remember that before this ratio between Hungarians and neighbors of 70-30, there was a different situation, where there were many more "neighbors" and there were no Hungarians at all.
@@sofijajovanovic2404 We try to condemn the actions of ppl living in the past, from our point of view, in modern times, where morality has a meaning.

Any nation present on the face of the earth today, are those who Killed the Most. Dont try to paint them as "bad people" for playing the game everyone played back then. Taking over lands, pushing out nations from their homeland was the name of the game and those who could not do it were enslaved or deleted. "Brutal invaders" were the survivors back then, not brutal invades. Just to give you a context on how to comprehend the actions of the ppl in those times. They didnt killed just for the fun of it, they had to, to survive.

Great video! My father is half Hungarian and half Korean. The Hungarian side is actually harder to explain to other people without having to go all the way back to my great grandfather. I don't personally know a lot of Hungarians here in NJ, but I learned that the "hub" here during WWII was in Trenton, NJ exactly where my great grandfather escaped to. My last name is often mistaken for being German or Romanian. My father did some research of his grandfather's roots and we're from a little place called Gara in southern Hungary.
Despite the Volatile history, today, most countries bordering Hungary retain cordial relations. Slovakia, Austria, and Croatia are the ones I know for sure have let bygones be bygones, and I am hoping that our current long held peace is maintained.
Only on the surface bro! We have to carry on with our lives. But I do not forget what happened and by who. So if you ever see a drunk Hungarian, do not bring up this topic, for your own safety.
Actually, if we lool at the governments, Hungary has good relationship with everyone except for Ukraine. There are in fact some conflicts sometimes, but that is always just hysteria from the countries that border Hungary. No offense but this is truth. There are always some Hungarophobic politicians who create conflicts on purpose
@@bazsamester I can assure you Hungary has good relationships with nobody but Russia. Go to Romania and ask "what do you think about hungarians"... see what you get.
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)
Yeah my hungarian grand grand father had to fight for romania in second World war in odessa Was shot two times fighting for romanians as he was from bottom side of transylvania while my romanian grand grand father didnt fought in the war the región was populated by hungarians but were used to fight wars, my hungarian father in communism he worked for the government and was sent to all sides of romania same as other hungarians diversed everywhere , you dont see that infuriating ?

Why do we need to be stronger and more superior than others? Why can't we just... work along...? And co-exist, if you know what I mean.
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.
Transilvania nu s-a oferit niciodata ca stat vasal. A fost ocupata cu Forta de catre imepriul Austro - Ungar. Tanand cont de istoria Roamaniei Dacii au fost pe aceste meleaguri cu 5000 de Ani inainte ca poporul Ungar sa se aseze in campia panonica.
The Principality of Transylvania was the one who seeked polish support, even managed to capture the polish crown. Upper Hungary was a rebellion/rogue state
You should have explained how Hungary expanded in the 12t century. Like this it seems like it conquered Croatia rather than coming into union with Croat nobles.
Yeah the Hungarians only gained Croatia cause many of the Croatian nobles saw the Hungarian King’s claim as legitimate and supported him , the kingdoms were brought together as a union.
I just found out from the comment section that God is actually hungarian.. his name is Gyozo-Jesus and he was born in Budapest. Also, Cristopher Columbus was hungarian too. The original name of America was Orban-vasarhely, but some hungarophobe changed it. The more you know...
also found out that dacian theory is a fairytale made to claim land wich is not rightfully romanian the more you know about vlach history and the language romania used before the year 1800... also my hungarian grand grand father had to fight for romania in odessa was shot two times while romanian grand grand father didnt fight in world war two one of the reasons why many hungarians are missing from transylvania
My Mother and I were born in Hungary. My parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc were hungarian. My grandma' was born in Hungary, now Slovakia. My father in Erdély=Transylvania, now Romania. As I go back my family tree, we came from (now) Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria. If someone asks me where I'm from, i usually say: from Europe. Not easy to explain....
Hungary in the 17th century was divided into four pieces. Royal Monarchy belonging to the Habsburgs, the middle part under Ottoman control, Thököly’s short-lived state from 1682 which was a rebel and vassal state of the kuruc people, and Transylvania which was a vassal state as well but had quite wide range of autonomy. And I have to correct your mistake: after 1918 Yugoslavia did not exist, it run under the name of Serb-Croat-Slovene Kingdom. Yugoslavia was established in 1929.
Fun fact: Up to this day you can see bumper stickers on cars in Hungary depicting the pre-1920 map aka the so called Great Hungary. You can also find t-shirts, wall clocks and other swag with that map. Today it's a bit similar symbol to the confederate flag in the US, meaning it's highly contraversial and represents certain political affiliation.
@Szilárd Takács Yes, all all neighbors lie 😂 the reality is that the Austrians maintained order in the monarchy until 1867... after the Austro-Hungarian settlement of 1867, Magyarization began and you wanted to fulfill your dream called Great Hungary (in territories where Hungarians did not even make up 50% of the population)... so don't be surprised that at the first opportunity (World War 1 was lost) everyone gave up on your great Hungary... I have nothing against Hungarians, I also admire Orban and his geopolitical views, but stop crying for something that happened 100 years ago and it wasn't even yours...
@Szilárd Takács Just that there is no evidence in Hungarian sources or any other sources of Romanians immigrating into your territory. Early Hungarian chronicles constantly depict Romanians as the main actors in their struggle for control of Transylvania.
@@General.Knowledge and in the 13th century hungary and poland had a union under the second anjou king you forgor. it was a big deal at the time, thats what the bases of V4 today...or what will be left of it :(
Ah yes, the famous "Honfoglalas" depicted in AOE II DE homologous scenario, which explains a bit about the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian basis. Great content mate!
Very nice timeline very easy to follow up and I have to say it is very accurate! One of the best presentation of Hungarian History highlighting the milestones and mayor affect but with no unnecessary or foolish misunderstandings! Greetings from Hungary :) ! ! !
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.
And did you not see anywhere in the archival data that the Habsburgs ruled northern and western Hungary as the legal successors of the Hungarian kings? Because the territories of the medieval Hungarian kingdom could not have been owned without the consent of the great Hungarian lords, such as the very rich Esterházys! It is everywhere in the archival data that the remaining Hungarian kingdom was under the Habsburg rulers and not under Austria or any other name! But your anti-Hungarian historians don't teach you that, do they?
@@szakaattila7899 Hi, I never stated, that anything you say wouldn't be true. Yes, indeed the Habsburgs ruled the northern and western parts of Hungary (here called Royal Hungary), from the coronation of Ferdinand I., until the Treaty of Karlowitz (after that the whole country). I just don't understand the aggressive tone. Btw I am a Hungarian as well. Have a good day!
As a Slovak, I do not have problems with Hungarians. I just don’t like the ultranationalists (sometimes lot of them have Slovak/Slavic surnames, which are one of the most common i Hungary - Tóth = Slovak, Kovács = Kováč, Molnár = Mlynár, Takács = Tkáč etc.), which spread a lot of hate against Slovaks. Our ancestors lived pretty well together for hundreds of years, but yes, the last 80 years of Kingdom of Hungary had very bad effect on Slovaks 😔 🇸🇰🇭🇺
yeah if we were a bit smart we would set our differences asside and grow bigger to not beeing pushed arround we are weak having little piece of land and beeing separated greeting from a transylvanian
You are right. There is no place in world that is known to us and has only one type of people or etnicity. People were mixing with others ever since we left caves. So, in that case, there is not anyone who can say he is only this or that. In Central Europe we are all connected and mixed together. There is not much difference in people living in Slovakia or in Hungary. Yes, sure, we can have different characteristics, different personalities and we do have slightly different mentality and culture, not to mention language, but in the end, we are basically the same. You may disagree, you may object and essentially, the difference is only in what side of the border you were born and how your ancestors adapted to their reality.
I agree with you, idiotic ultranationalists ruin everything. I do hope that one day we can let bygones be bygones and you can forgive us for the magyarization. I do have to point out that a lot of Hungarian surnames are actually the names of jobs and the examples you bring are all that (with the exception of Tóth). Kovács means blacksmith, molnár means miller and takács means weaver.

Plus informations: After the Treaty of Trianon, there were still several border changes with some little villages, because there were cases when the borders weren't actually there where they supposed to be according to treaty. 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. Btw it's a really great video, unfortunately in this topic there are a lot of misinformations, especially when the nations that were included in Trianon tell the story. But this video was great and there weren't any big lies. There were things that should have been said but weren't, but still great video
Yeah the Sporon/Ödenburg case is interesting, because the city and its surrounding Villages were 80% German speaking, but since Austria wasn't allowed to send their own people overwatching the vote,only the Hungarians were and so most ethnic Germans weren't allowed to vote and with that ended up with a yes for Hungary
The Hungarian word árpa was borrowed from a Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries), from Proto-Turkic *arpa.[5][6][4] The Hungarians cohabited for centuries with Turkic people, which accounts for over 10% word roots in modern Hungarian being Turkic. In Hungarian, most pastoral terms are Turkic in origin, and agricultural terms are 50% r-Turkic. Many Hungarian names, and also animal and plant names,[7] are of Turkic origin, and the majority of tribe names were of Turkic origin.[8]Turkic is, along with Uralic, German and Slavic, one of the four languages that have the greatest percentage of word roots in the Hungarian language. However, the Magyars are not a Turkic people, though the Turks made a genetic and linguistic contribution.[9][10]
They are a part of the Uralic group, including the Finns, Estonians, Bulgarians and more, but the uralic group is connected to the altaic tree, which turkic is a part of, the Ural altaic language tree consists of uralic, turkic, japonic and mongolic language groups, but almost all of them are connected to the huns and the turan idea, love to Hungary from Turkey 🇹🇷❤🇭🇺
I was expecting to see hungarians and romanians arguing in the comments, but I am not entirely disappointed, now there are Slovakians arguing with Hungarians. :D
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.
Great video and historical presentation. Thanx. As time goes by I hope that our relationship with all of our neighbours around us will be bit by bit better and friendlier every year (especially within the EU). Greetings from Hungary. ;-)
As a proud bearer of Hungarian ancestry I really like that historians, anthropologists and linguists give some love to one of the most ancient states in Europe.
It's one of the newest bro... Literally 20th century. 1918 isn't ancient. 1867 if you're counting from when Hungary became its own kingdom within Austria, but it's hard to make a case that this was the same state since it became a democratic republic when it finally became its own state after WW1.
@@romanvlach5293 yes, is a common surname across the area. Mine is spelled Kovács and is the 4th most common in Hungary. I am aware of the cultural and ethnical mix Magyars had with the local inhabitants.
Upper Hungary was part of the Austrian empire and Transilvania was a semi-vassal of the Turks. Matthias Corvinus is an attached name. He was Hunyadi Mátyás (family and first name respectively)
Attached name lol... It was his "international" name, since in his time, Latin was still lingua franca. Nobody outside of your country would call him Hunyadi Mátyás.

You must also add that Hungarians do not originated from Europe, they invade Europe from Urals, Western Siberia, and occupied present and also past teritories of Hungaria. Hungarians are actually a mixture of Asian Ugric (a Siberian population in Russia) and Turks. Perhaps this history can explain present day Hungarians afinity to autocracy and communism and also the tight connection with Russia.
All life and all people came from afrika thousands of years ago. As a hungarian i say we're all humans and fuck the borders. We have to respect each other regardless of religion or ethnic differences. Yes, we lost a bunch of territories. Sad, move on. If the romanians or slovakians were given rights back than and let them speak their own language, wasn't forced to speak hungarian, maybe they didn't wanted to be separated from the hungarians... This hatred must stop. Our nations lived so long time together and next to each other, it would be a miracle not to mix with each other. In Hungary, and i think in the rest of europe too, hard to find a person who is not a mixture of some other nation as well than his own nationality.
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.
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.
The funny thing is, Hungary lost 75% of his territory because of a war which the Austrians wanted, and the Hungarians fought politically against declaring the war, but they had no chance against the majority of Austrian politicans.
Friend, Hungary lost territory not for the war but because it didn't belong to them, it belonged to the people who made up the majority population. War or not, self-determination could not have been stopped 🤗
@@0NG4RN as a Romanian myself, I totally understand the spiritual loss of Hungarians when they say they lost 4 million Transylvanian Romanian slaves. It used to be so nice back then! Romanians were forbidden to live in the cities, they had to work on Hungarian plantations, and Hungarian MINORITY of 25% could rule everything (all administrative papers were in Hungarian, Romanians had ZERO political representation) and thus the "superior race" could engage in spiritually superior activities such as parties, drinking cocktails and going to the theatre. Oh, and cutting down all the forests to get rich! Yeah, it used to be so nice!

Great video, but I'm suprised that you didn't mention that The Kingdom of Croatia was in a personal union with The Hungarian Kingdom for 800 years And a question for General Knowledge: Why Hungary? I am happy for the video as a hungarian, but confused due to Hungaries irrelevancy compared to UK, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey.
Perhaps because Hungarians (much like us Finns and our brothers in the south, Estonians) represent a culturally, linguistically and historically distinct group of people in Europe. I don't think Hungary is irrelevant. Even we learned in history class how powerful Hungary and the Austro-Hungarian empire was long ago.

I am neither Serbian nor Hungarian but I am wondering, bcs I heard that many of them don't like each other because of events in 1920-1930-1940s, I hope no one hates anybody anymore... Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬❤️🇷🇸🇭🇺 👌
Being a Serb from Subotica/Szabadka the northern most city in Serbia I can say we have great relations, many of my friends are Hungarian and we don’t even talk about any nationalistic issues. My city is known as a cultural city of Hungarians, we didn’t even have any issues in 90’s Yugoslav wars. Currently politically our two countries are having best relations ever with Orban and Vucic being friends privately too. (Not a fan of Vucic though) but I like Hungary being so different from others, especially their language. All in all Szeretlek Magyarorszag ❤️
Serbs, especially in recent years have friendly relations with Hungarians in Vojvodina and like Hungary overall. We even have a recent national hero from 90s that was Hungarian and everyone from ordinary people to hard nationalists honour him. Don't know what Hungarians in Hungary think of Serbs much tho, but I know in Vojvodina we like and value each other.
At 12:13 when you mention Slovakia. Slovakia was not annexed by Germany. They declared independence on March 15 1939 as a fascist state under the „protection” of German Reich. Just to correct a teeny tiny flaw. Otherwise amazing video my friend! Keep up the good work ;)

The balkans are really looked over throughout history. I won't say that modern Europe was shaped by the Balkans, but realize if the ottomans went through us, modern history would be very, very different
During the ottoman invasions, hungary broke into 3 parts (and later 4 for a bit). The biggest territory was controlled by the ottomans (mainly southern hungary), to the east, there was the Transylavnian Principality, which was hungarian, but they paid the ottomans annually so the ottomans wont attack them (so basically they were an ottoman puppet state, as later on a lot of rulers we're backed up by the ottomans, not the people living there). And then there was the Hungarian kingdom, which was all of northwest and western hungary btw (this includes croatia and upper hungary and the land inbetween them). Upper hungary changed hands a few times, between the Hungarian kingdom (which was controlled by Austria) and Transylvania. Then in 1682, Hungary broke into 4 parts, as Upper Hungary broke away from the rest of the Hungarian kingdom, which wasn't controlled by the ottomans, but the leader of upper hungary was very much leaning towards the ottomans (So much so that during the freeing of hungarian territory they was on the ottoman's side, and Thököly Imre (upper hungary's leader)'s wife actually held out against Austrian forces for 2 years in a small bastion.
I would imagine the backstabby way it happened didn’t help either…When the Hapsburg Monarchy collapsed and the Kingdom of Hungary became independent, they put in charge a pacifist who had cooperated with the Entente and been against the war. The Entente told Hungary they would be expected to hold plebiscites to allow minority regions to decide if they wanted to stay or leave. Once Hungary disbanded its military, its neighbors instead of waiting for the plebiscites, invaded from every side. These neighbors included a couple of countries also formed from Austria-Hungary (Czecherslovakia and The Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes which was formed by the Union of Serbia with Austro-Hungarian territories in what would later be Yugoslavia. They took what they wanted and forced Hungary to sign the Treaty of Trianon or else.
Every nation in Europe had their peaks. Bohemia held Silesia for over 700 years only to loose it to Prussia and subsequently to Poland with a funny justification that PL got back their territory. Germans held Silesia for less than 200 years so did Poles which includes the post WW2 era. Silesia had significant Czech speaking areas although Germans had overwhelming majority there. Hungary should move on otherwise their sentiment escalates like in Putin's Russia.
@@luboskulhavy7769 Sorry that was not a peak that was an integral part of Hungary for more than 1000 years. The peak is for example when they conquered Austria. It's not the same.
@F. A. That has nothing to do with this case either. The thing is that the Charpatian basin was only conquered by the Hungarians, none of the thieving nation hade any right to claim those lands whatsoever.
Most of the them failed and although they are national days in hungary not much changed with them. They are mostly just to raise nationalism in the country
Hello General Knowledge! Fun facts: Hungarian folk tales and origin stories always talk about the Magyars as Huns, and as brothers. Until the 19th century Hungarians were called Huns and Scythians, by other Hungarians and even by their enemies. In that period, the Habsburgs wanted to take the roots of the Hungarian people, so that the Austrian dominance would be unquestionable in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Then began the finno-ugric theory, which says that Hungarians are finno-ugric peoples, not originated from the steppes, but the northern taiga. This 200 years old LIE finally comes to an end, because DNA researces show that the "land taking Hungarians" and the Huns were in fact closely related, and were inhabitants of the steppes. The Avar period is also a "Hunnic-Hungarian period", the remnants of the Huns who stayed in the Carpathian basin were named Avars. (In Hungarian language, "avar" means "fallen leaves on the forest ground", which means the Avars were the ones who remained after the fall of the Hunnic Empire.) And Avar artefacts have runes on them, which can be read in Hungarian language. (Needle holder from Szarvas, and a handle of a bow from Környe) Hungarians use their ancient runes even today, search for it as Rovásírás. So "land taking" was in fact coming back where their ancestors lived. I hope I added some info to your base knowledge. All the best! :D
@@attilamarics4808 Actually, recent genetic studies have proven a connection between the Huns and the conquering Magyar tribes. Their remains were examined and genetically sequenced. You can search for these studies on line (don't want to post a link because Yt tends to delete my comments with them). Archeogenetics have made strides in the past 2o years, it's very exciting to see what they have, and will uncover in the future.
@@TheCatsMeoooow I dont know. I read and listened to Dr. Török Tibor's lecture, and he doesnt make such claims.

Not to menton these claim were made by acamdeics most of the times wihtout any experiecne in the field or credentials in it. The things they are teaching about this topic for example in highschool is all made up. And when you go to a university you can listen to the professors cry about it all the time, because nobody asked them it just sounded good in the media.
2:18 somehow you forgot Slavs, that were there for 4 centuries, with Great Moravia kingdom for 2 centuries. Also the thumbnail image of video is inaccurate, in 2022 Slovakia does not have Ruthenia, that's part of Ukraine (Soviet) since the end of WWII.
The Avar khaganate settled the slavs to central europe, so, he mention the khaganate, its enough. Slavs held territory less than 70 years in the pannonian basin.
The Europeans in the past never really saw the importance of these Balkan resistance against the Turks. Europe would steer a very different direction if it were swallowed whole by the mighty Ottomans.

One important thing about this video. Today we call this country Hungary. But when this country was established it was not called Hungary, but in english language it is called Hungary. And the most important is that in this empire it was a union of many nations. Hungarians were only about 30% af all population, so they were minority in the empire that in english language is called Hungary!!! Even at the beginning of the 20th century the population of Hungarians in Hungary was only 40% of all inhabitants of the country !!! This is important to know, so that people don't have incorrect understanding of the country.
Hungarians were 40% only after the devastation of the Ottomans, there are no sources about the ethnic makeup of the Kingdom from before. The other thing is, that they formed the state, that's why it's Hungary.
@@anotherhistoryenthusiast5874 there are no sources who formed the empire at the beginning. Only source is that first " hungarian" king made an alliance with Slavic (Slovak) kings. It is because there were pagan Hungarian and Slovak kings and on the other side there were kings (Hungarian and Slovak) that wanted to be christianized. The history we know today was written by christians,we know little or nothing about early historical events.
@@marians7364 Hungarians literary conquered the Carpathian Basin, then Steven was coronated as the first king a hundred and something years later. We know what happened. The kingdom was formed by the Árpád dinasty and the Hungarian warrior class became nobility, other, more agricultural or pastoral Hungarians became the peasantry, plus the Slavs. Germanic peoples became mostly city folk. This is how it began, but later it was mixed up, Hungarians, Slavs settled in cities too, Slavs and Germans could get into nobility, altough not from the existing Slavic peasantry, but from foreign Germanic and Slavic nobles from Poland and the HRE and Croatia.
the treaty of Trianon was probably warranted; most minorities living in Austria-Hungary got their independence, which is great. however, without exception, every new country took some of Hungarys main land away, where ethnic Hungarians lived. that's the unfair part, it could have been an acceptable treaty, and it wasnt.
I really like your point of view which I - as Slovak - fully subscribe. I am appalled by the fact that my nation took areas which were obviously Magyar demographically. Simply put, the borders are unjust. However, I am equally appalled by attitude of Magyar nationalists who refuse to respect the fact that our ancestors were as much subjects of the Holy Crown as theirs and that Upper Hungary was (and is) a legitimate Slovak ethnic homeland - at least from point of view of right of self-determination (I know Slovakia was never delineated as political entity before 1918, even though Slovak politicians asked king František Jozef for it twice).

The Latin was the official language of the Hungarian kingdom untill 1844. The Hungarian was official language 1844-1849, after the suppression of the Hungarian Freedom War (1848-49) the German became the official language. Then, after the Austrian- Hungarian Compromise from 1867 untill 1918 the Hungarian language became the official language again in Hungary. In 1868 the Hungarian parliament made the most liberal nationality law of the world. Other countries did not have any similar. France forced assimilated all nationalities and continously refuse any right of nationalities till now. Brits starved death 2 000 000 Irish and did not give them any right. Russia was the prison of the peoples. Etc. In contrast in Hungary every nationality had own schools, where they could learn their mother language. The language of the state, the Hungarian was taught altogether 2-4 hours a week. The leaders of the nationalities did not want any state language…they protested it. - This was the short story of the “Magyarization”. The “Magyarization” is an anti-Hungarian lie propaganda. THE NATIONALITY LAW OF THE KINGDOM OF HUNGARY WAS THE MOST LIBERAL IN THE WORLD. OTHER COUNTRIES DID NOT HAVE SIMILAR.

In his submissions to other municipalities, legislative authorities and their media, he may use either the official language of the state or the protocol language or one of the languages of the relevant municipality or legislative authority. In the field of legislation, the use of language is described in Articles 7-13. §. § 24 Judges with the right to speak in village and church assemblies are free to use their mother tongues. § 25 If individuals, churches, private associations, private educational institutions and non-legislative municipalities do not use the official language of the state in their submissions to the government: an authentic translation into the original Hungarian text of the order on such submissions shall be attached. § 26. As well as until now, individual citizens of any nationality have the right, as well as villages, churches, parishes: they still have the right to set up lower, middle and upper kindergartens on their own or through association. From this end, and in order to set up other institutions for the promotion of language, art, science, economy, industry and trade, individual citizens may form associations or unions under the statutory supervision of the state and together form rules, acting in accordance with the rules approved by the state government. , they may raise funds and manage them, although under the supervision of the state government, in accordance with their legal needs of nationality. The cultural and other institutions established in this way - but the schools, while maintaining the provisions of the Act regulating public education - are on an equal footing with the institutions of a similar nature and to the same degree in the state. The language of private institutes and associations is determined by the founders. The companies and the institutes they set up can also communicate with each other in their own languages; decisions on the use of language in their contacts with others will be regulated by Section 23. § 27. When filling office positions, only personal ability will serve as a guide next year; no one’s nationality can then be seen as an obstacle to any promotion to the office or dignity that exists in the country.

SHOW ME SIMILAR LIBERAL, HUMANIC LANGUAGE LAWS IN THE XIX. CENTURY, LATER, AND NOW!
The Hungarians were in the Charpatian basin first before every neighboring nation. Conquering it whole in the 9th century, giving them the right of conquest. In fact the Hungarians are there since the 4th. century AD. according to archeology,historiography and archeogenetical studies therfore factually true. All of Trianons accusations against Hungary were lies and forgery! It had nothing to do with the ethnicitites whereabouts. It had nothing to do with human rights there were no referendums except for a city but the Hungarians had fight with blood for it. It had nothing to do with historical rights or morality or justice. That’s why the Charpathian minorities made up fake history to themselves to set it up like a rightful act. But in reality it was just a mercilles dictatum to demolish the Hungarian spirit wich they are afraid of to this day. The west knew our capabilites. We won wars for the Austrians. Before the Austrians we defeated most of Europe as well. We defeated and texed empires. In reality the west was afraid of the Hungarian nation because they knew what they are capable of th most rebellious disobidient nation. What do you think why did they gave their lands to inferior people? Because those are obidient and ignorant people in 1920 only 33% of rumania were litarete in serbia 55% in Hungary 80%. See? They didn't want to let the civilized developed, once the greatest kingdom of Euorope to have power because they would've been a major player again, most likely an opposition again for the west. Because eventually the minorities would have sided with the Hungarians because of their favourable politics. Making an integrated powerful nation in the middle of Europe. It is clear that this was the main reason to unbalance the power to shift it to west By weakening the greatest nation of middle-eastern Europe. But Hungary still lives and will not die until she don't take back her rightful property wich only belongs to the Hungarians. Justice will be served sooner or later and everything and everyone will get back to their rightful places. History is still being written. Hungary did not oppress the minority. That was a false accusation to justify the theft. The minorities in Hungary had better living environment than in their neighbouring home countries from where they were settled. Another hole in the story that all of these ethnicites were not native but migrants from the sorrounding countries therfore claiming that they needed a sovereign country to themselves from Hungary is unrightful, because they had home countries. To claim that they wanted to join the mother country is a lie agian because they were settled from there in the first place. You migrate to the neighboring country then in certain region you outbred natives then you claim that land as yours fabricating fake history and victimizing yourself. Nope. It was all set up like they were already there and Hungary steal from them in the 9th century. While the exact opposite happened. Hungary conquered the land centuries later the migrants were settled and without right the Entente gave them our land claiming to “giving it back”. Absolute theft. From the countries wich had no right to take any land of the Hungarians at all. The proof that the minority was not oppressed at all is that they had a lot of some of them more schools than in their home countries. It was also in their own languge they only had to learn Hungarian 2 times a week. But the most important factor is that their numbers never dwindled but always grew. Wich is the exact opposite attribute of the oppressed people. Just look at the Hungarians in their native lands now ruled by foreigners they are diwndling because in fact they are oppressed to this day. The Hungarians were the first in the world who gave rights to the minorities, while England and France was forcefully assimilating the other ethnicites. In Hungary the Hungarization was volunteraly as well. Hungary was not like in medieval times, in Hungary was a well develeped Country Compare to tmost of the neighbóring countries. For example in Hungary the able for write and read people were more than 80% while in serbia about 55% and rumunia about 33%. They were culturally inferior uncivilized because of this, rightfully. The accusations were lies against Hungary. The thieves who stole from Hungary didn’t keep any of their words of giving certain rights to the natives and actually oppressing the Hungarians to this day with ethnocidium mainly Slovakia, Ukraine and rumunia. But there are anti Hungarian sentiment in Serbia and Austria as well. Their only weapon is basless hate wich reveals itself that they are afraid of the Hungarians with hatred they are trying to suppress their fear, but their hatred is basless in truth therofore it is in vain, because they know the capabilities of the Hungarians the conqueror nation from the Huns wich lies in their will slumbering yet… waiting to be reawoken and it surely will! Ethnical quantity on a given territory is not a deciding factor of who the land rightfully belongs. Therefore the today’s landowners cannot form right to own that land by that, those people aren’t natives there to begin with. The only rightful owners of a territory is the rightful landowner the state in this case. it was taken from Hungary by false accusations and by power therefore it was an unrightful dictate as well as most importantly on false historical claims. Consequently Hungary can and will rightfully claim her lands back! Hungary will retake it and they will expell those unauthorized immigrant people from there rightfully as a punishment for their crimes against the Hungarian nation.Such crimes as genocides, stealing, plundering, discrimination, segregation, racism, unrightful expelling of natives, history falsification, ethnocide, demagogy. There will not be ethnical problem no more! The truth is there was a native population(Huns) living for thousand of years in their own established sovereign state wich at some point became under an alien rule wich settled a lot of migrants into the natives country. While the natives being genocided expelled sparsing them. Until at some point in history the migrants became so many that in some regions they've became majority. Then WW1 happened an opportunity for these migrants to claim the land of the natives as their own. Therefore to get those lands they made up history for themeselves claiming that they were there first and the natives are the invaders. Because they were siding with the winners of course everyone belived them. Until now… More and more Hungarian starts to realize how the dictatum was unjust more and more youth grow up with the rightful idelogies like irrdentism and revisionism. History is not yet over, for Hungary. They will wake from their slumber when enough people realizes what happened truly then the inernational collaboration between the outlander Hungarians and mainlander Hungarians will grow stronger and stronger then finally they will unify their nation again under the ideology of full revision and rightful justification and with that the now unified Hungarians will reconquer their lands! Justice for Hungary will come as well as the demise of the thieves. The new Hunnic domain in the Charpatian basin True Hungary will rise agian! Every drop of pain they had to endour because of the vile lying oppressors the Hungarian nation got only stronger and wiser. History will repeats itself 895 is not that far away. *“Entente Powers did not conquer any Austrian-Hungarian land during World War I.”* This means they had NO RIGHT to take away any of the Hungarian lands unless Hungary agrees to it but Hungary was forced to agree. Making the whole situation nothing but an **unlawful internationally illegal exploitation of the Hungarian country! Soon the truth will be published everywhere, then finally it will be known by the masses, then the full revision can start rightfully. Because it will be proven that the nations who are currently owning the former territories established and owned by the Hungarian nation are holding it with FALSE RIGHTS based on FAKE HISTORY and INJUSTICE making the FULL REVISION OF HUNGARY A RIGHTFUL MUST OF JUSTIFICATION for the atrocities the Hungarians had to suffer unrightfully. By primitive barbarian nations motivated by greed and jeaoulsy. While punishing the history falsifyier sinner murderer thieves expelling them from Hungary to where they were settled some centuries ago! **There will be Justice and Punishment when the time of judgment finally comes!** A nation built on fake foundations are nation until the truth prevail… and Hungary is built on the true foundation. Good luck thieves resisting the soon coming wrath of the true Huns! The truth won't be hidden forever it’s always prevails eventually. That is the order of the universe! 💪🇭🇺👎🇷🇴🇸🇰🇺🇦🇷🇸🇦🇹.

"Fun" fact: after WWI the Slavic countries wanted to have a bridge between the northern and southern Slavic nations, and for that they wanted to take now-Burgenland from Hungary. In the end the Entente didn't let them having the bridge but took the territory from Hungary anyway and gave it to Austria who was also defeated in the war
So fair....
Burgenland was given to Austria because a plebiscite took place and except for one city, other cities and towns decided to join Austria. It's important to note that more than 70% of the Burgenland was ethnically German at the time.

Unfortunately, Hungarians in Slovakia are not liked by many Slovaks.
I was in a ski camp in Slovakia when I was a child. in 1989. In front of a buffet, a Slovak shot a Hungarian in the head because he was upset that he spoke Hungarian. There was a case in Bratislava where two boys brutally beat a girl because she was speaking Hungarian on her phone. The Slovak state wanted to convict the girl. In a Slovak museum, a painting was thrown into the corner because it depicted a Hungarian. Hungarian tourists came once and they all photographed this painting. The museum staff did not understand what they were photographing in that painting depicting an unknown Hungarian. Well, because this man founded this museum. Slovaks simply erase their history if it has a Hungarian aspect. Shame.
As a Romanian living in France I like to meet Hungarians, they always prove to be friendly and happy to help, my best friend in a Hungarian from Budapest. At a government level Hungary helped and is helping Romania; they supported us to join the EU and are in top 5 of our economic partners. 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. For example it was very hard for me to find a video about Trianon in French, people simply don't care about the East.

@@Drakrau_TheDerg a "small but lod minority", mostly right-wing extremists think it was totally unjust and should be revisioned. 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)
is it a question that the treaty was a bit harsh? what would you say if your country were 1/3 part of it, and even 100 years later your nation were oppressed by the winners? just because Austria wanted a war. are you foreigners totally ignorant?
@timeanagy8495 I just meant that did anyone else think it was harsh.. And I may be a dumb American, but I know enough about history to agree with the Hungarians that the Treaty of Trianon was harsh on Hungary.
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 )

@@williamwallace-m4v The powers did indeed robbed Hungary. But so should a Romanian who was born in 1982 should feel bad? A Slovakian born in 1993 should feel bad? 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. I wish we would unite again, not as a single country, but as people who share a common goal and common values.
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.
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!
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!
This country did not vanish, because of Christianity. God helped us through history since Stephen declared us as a Christian kingdom around year 1000.

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.
YES! 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.

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. Hungarians should remember that before this ratio between Hungarians and neighbors of 70-30, there was a different situation, where there were many more "neighbors" and there were no Hungarians at all.
@@sofijajovanovic2404 We try to condemn the actions of ppl living in the past, from our point of view, in modern times, where morality has a meaning. Back in the days there was no morality in any nation. You Killed, you Lived, you could not kill, you were dead and disappeared. Any nation present on the face of the earth today, are those who Killed the Most. Dont try to paint them as "bad people" for playing the game everyone played back then. Taking over lands, pushing out nations from their homeland was the name of the game and those who could not do it were enslaved or deleted. "Brutal invaders" were the survivors back then, not brutal invades. Just to give you a context on how to comprehend the actions of the ppl in those times. They didnt killed just for the fun of it, they had to, to survive. Its the same feeling for what you wake up in the morning and go to work, to provide for your family and secure their safety, just the methods and the times changed.
@@KonradTamas If this mental construct will make you happy, to feel more comfortable as a Hungarian, go ahead. But it is not true that we were all the same - immoral. In the eyes of a thief, everyone else is a thief.
One of your best videos so far :) very professional 💪🏻 thank you!
Thank you! I had the help of a great video editor for this one
For what it's worth, in Persian Hungary is called Majjarestan (Land of Majjars, which may be a different way of saying land of Magyars).
Great video! My father is half Hungarian and half Korean. The Hungarian side is actually harder to explain to other people without having to go all the way back to my great grandfather. I don't personally know a lot of Hungarians here in NJ, but I learned that the "hub" here during WWII was in Trenton, NJ exactly where my great grandfather escaped to. My last name is often mistaken for being German or Romanian. My father did some research of his grandfather's roots and we're from a little place called Gara in southern Hungary.
Gara means train station in Romanian... Which train station was he from? Did he have Romanian slaves? That must've been nice
@Therapist servanta are paid, slaves are not
Despite the Volatile history, today, most countries bordering Hungary retain cordial relations. Slovakia, Austria, and Croatia are the ones I know for sure have let bygones be bygones, and I am hoping that our current long held peace is maintained.
Only on the surface bro! We have to carry on with our lives. But I do not forget what happened and by who. So if you ever see a drunk Hungarian, do not bring up this topic, for your own safety.
@@Gil-games i don't care, even when I'm drunk. Time to move on.
Actually, if we lool at the governments, Hungary has good relationship with everyone except for Ukraine. There are in fact some conflicts sometimes, but that is always just hysteria from the countries that border Hungary. No offense but this is truth. There are always some Hungarophobic politicians who create conflicts on purpose
@@dddaddy I don't sorrow it every day. But in back of my mind it pains me that part of history
@@bazsamester I can assure you Hungary has good relationships with nobody but Russia. Go to Romania and ask "what do you think about hungarians"... see what you get.
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)
Wow...what a stepfather..
Yeah my hungarian grand grand father had to fight for romania in second World war in odessa Was shot two times fighting for romanians as he was from bottom side of transylvania while my romanian grand grand father didnt fought in the war the región was populated by hungarians but were used to fight wars, my hungarian father in communism he worked for the government and was sent to all sides of romania same as other hungarians diversed everywhere , you dont see that infuriating ?

Im so happy u did Hungary 🇵🇱 ❤️ 🇭🇺 ❤️ 🇦🇹
Hungary is gay
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.
Transilvania nu s-a oferit niciodata ca stat vasal. A fost ocupata cu Forta de catre imepriul Austro - Ungar. Tanand cont de istoria Roamaniei Dacii au fost pe aceste meleaguri cu 5000 de Ani inainte ca poporul Ungar sa se aseze in campia panonica.
The Principality of Transylvania was the one who seeked polish support, even managed to capture the polish crown. Upper Hungary was a rebellion/rogue state
You should have explained how Hungary expanded in the 12t century. Like this it seems like it conquered Croatia rather than coming into union with Croat nobles.
Yes but Croats hardly had any rule over the country, later being in union only on paper.
@@mdza Yeah only later because of oppression. But in the start were on the same footing.
Yes but the most unions in histroy is controlled by one side never really even
@@treple8310 I quess it't true in most cases but still he could have explained.
Yeah the Hungarians only gained Croatia cause many of the Croatian nobles saw the Hungarian King’s claim as legitimate and supported him , the kingdoms were brought together as a union.
Thank you for taking the time to talk about this topic. ☺️
I like to see, to many people intrest to the Hungarian history, and the territorial, appriciate from Hungary :D
I just found out from the comment section that God is actually hungarian.. his name is Gyozo-Jesus and he was born in Budapest. Also, Cristopher Columbus was hungarian too. The original name of America was Orban-vasarhely, but some hungarophobe changed it. The more you know...
also found out that dacian theory is a fairytale made to claim land wich is not rightfully romanian the more you know about vlach history and the language romania used before the year 1800... also my hungarian grand grand father had to fight for romania in odessa was shot two times while romanian grand grand father didnt fight in world war two one of the reasons why many hungarians are missing from transylvania
abel nicolae - of course God is Hungarian. Hungarians hate Jews, so therefore, God would be considered Hungarian.

Your surname shows just how many "Hungerians" are assimilated local people and not ethnic magyars. Sad thing to look at :(
My grand parents were forced to pray in magyar language. This country was prison of natios.
@@Hlava52 Its sad,but unfortunately it was rather common at that time.
Hungary in the 17th century was divided into four pieces. Royal Monarchy belonging to the Habsburgs, the middle part under Ottoman control, Thököly’s short-lived state from 1682 which was a rebel and vassal state of the kuruc people, and Transylvania which was a vassal state as well but had quite wide range of autonomy.
And I have to correct your mistake: after 1918 Yugoslavia did not exist, it run under the name of Serb-Croat-Slovene Kingdom. Yugoslavia was established in 1929.
Fun fact: Up to this day you can see bumper stickers on cars in Hungary depicting the pre-1920 map aka the so called Great Hungary. You can also find t-shirts, wall clocks and other swag with that map. Today it's a bit similar symbol to the confederate flag in the US, meaning it's highly contraversial and represents certain political affiliation.
@Szilárd Takács really? don t you say now....
@Szilárd Takács Yes, all all neighbors lie 😂 the reality is that the Austrians maintained order in the monarchy until 1867... after the Austro-Hungarian settlement of 1867, Magyarization began and you wanted to fulfill your dream called Great Hungary (in territories where Hungarians did not even make up 50% of the population)... so don't be surprised that at the first opportunity (World War 1 was lost) everyone gave up on your great Hungary... I have nothing against Hungarians, I also admire Orban and his geopolitical views, but stop crying for something that happened 100 years ago and it wasn't even yours...
@Szilárd Takács Just that there is no evidence in Hungarian sources or any other sources of Romanians immigrating into your territory. Early Hungarian chronicles constantly depict Romanians as the main actors in their struggle for control of Transylvania.
In the US, we laugh at those people. Who would celebrate being completely destroyed and unconditionally surrender? The Natives fought harder.

Louis the Great was also King of Poland and Duke of Ruthenia (Galicia) from 1370.
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.
It was more simple. Thököly, Rakoczi and others was simply traitors. They sell his coutry to Otomans.
They knew his father was innocent but they needes the money to wage their wara
@@balazstoth4813 Thank you, I forgot to mention that.
And did you not see anywhere in the archival data that the Habsburgs ruled northern and western Hungary as the legal successors of the Hungarian kings? Because the territories of the medieval Hungarian kingdom could not have been owned without the consent of the great Hungarian lords, such as the very rich Esterházys! It is everywhere in the archival data that the remaining Hungarian kingdom was under the Habsburg rulers and not under Austria or any other name! But your anti-Hungarian historians don't teach you that, do they?
@@szakaattila7899 Hi, I never stated, that anything you say wouldn't be true. Yes, indeed the Habsburgs ruled the northern and western parts of Hungary (here called Royal Hungary), from the coronation of Ferdinand I., until the Treaty of Karlowitz (after that the whole country). I just don't understand the aggressive tone.
Btw I am a Hungarian as well. Have a good day!
As a Slovak, I do not have problems with Hungarians. I just don’t like the ultranationalists (sometimes lot of them have Slovak/Slavic surnames, which are one of the most common i Hungary - Tóth = Slovak, Kovács = Kováč, Molnár = Mlynár, Takács = Tkáč etc.), which spread a lot of hate against Slovaks. Our ancestors lived pretty well together for hundreds of years, but yes, the last 80 years of Kingdom of Hungary had very bad effect on Slovaks 😔 🇸🇰🇭🇺
yeah if we were a bit smart we would set our differences asside and grow bigger to not beeing pushed arround we are weak having little piece of land and beeing separated greeting from a transylvanian
You are right. There is no place in world that is known to us and has only one type of people or etnicity. People were mixing with others ever since we left caves. So, in that case, there is not anyone who can say he is only this or that. In Central Europe we are all connected and mixed together. There is not much difference in people living in Slovakia or in Hungary. Yes, sure, we can have different characteristics, different personalities and we do have slightly different mentality and culture, not to mention language, but in the end, we are basically the same. You may disagree, you may object and essentially, the difference is only in what side of the border you were born and how your ancestors adapted to their reality.
@@golyno very well said my friend
I agree with you, idiotic ultranationalists ruin everything. I do hope that one day we can let bygones be bygones and you can forgive us for the magyarization.
I do have to point out that a lot of Hungarian surnames are actually the names of jobs and the examples you bring are all that (with the exception of Tóth). Kovács means blacksmith, molnár means miller and takács means weaver.
" I do not have problems with Hungarians. I just don’t like the ultranationalists " I think all of us can relate.

Plus informations: After the Treaty of Trianon, there were still several border changes with some little villages, because there were cases when the borders weren't actually there where they supposed to be according to treaty. 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.
Btw it's a really great video, unfortunately in this topic there are a lot of misinformations, especially when the nations that were included in Trianon tell the story. But this video was great and there weren't any big lies. There were things that should have been said but weren't, but still great video
Which country got these 3 villages
Actually... what you consider "lies" are surely national orban-istic propaganda they feed you at school when you are young.
@@breaderikthegreat3224 Slovakia, they are a part of Bratislava now
Yeah the Sporon/Ödenburg case is interesting, because the city and its surrounding Villages were 80% German speaking, but since Austria wasn't allowed to send their own people overwatching the vote,only the Hungarians were and so most ethnic Germans weren't allowed to vote and with that ended up with a yes for Hungary
@@breaderikthegreat3224 the Czechoslovaks wanted 5 villages, they got 3 of them. Oroszvár, Horvátjárfalu and Dunacsún were ceded to Czechoslovakia
The Hungarian word árpa was borrowed from a Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries), from Proto-Turkic *arpa.[5][6][4] The Hungarians cohabited for centuries with Turkic people, which accounts for over 10% word roots in modern Hungarian being Turkic. In Hungarian, most pastoral terms are Turkic in origin, and agricultural terms are 50% r-Turkic. Many Hungarian names, and also animal and plant names,[7] are of Turkic origin, and the majority of tribe names were of Turkic origin.[8]Turkic is, along with Uralic, German and Slavic, one of the four languages that have the greatest percentage of word roots in the Hungarian language. However, the Magyars are not a Turkic people, though the Turks made a genetic and linguistic contribution.[9][10]

correct video. Greatings from Hungary!
I was expecting to see hungarians and romanians arguing in the comments, but I am not entirely disappointed, now there are Slovakians arguing with Hungarians. :D
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.
Great video and historical presentation. Thanx. As time goes by I hope that our relationship with all of our neighbours around us will be bit by bit better and friendlier every year (especially within the EU). Greetings from Hungary. ;-)

As a proud bearer of Hungarian ancestry I really like that historians, anthropologists and linguists give some love to one of the most ancient states in Europe.
It's one of the newest bro... Literally 20th century. 1918 isn't ancient. 1867 if you're counting from when Hungary became its own kingdom within Austria, but it's hard to make a case that this was the same state since it became a democratic republic when it finally became its own state after WW1.

You must also add that Hungarians do not originated from Europe, they invade Europe from Urals, Western Siberia, and occupied present and also past teritories of Hungaria. Hungarians are actually a mixture of Asian Ugric (a Siberian population in Russia) and Turks. Perhaps this history can explain present day Hungarians afinity to autocracy and communism and also the tight connection with Russia.
We have been with germany for a loong long time also many of us support russia now because they are more decent and Christian than west 🚮
Hungarians came from the Urals. Also suggesting that politics has to do with something genetical is somethnig that the nonoGermans did last time.
All life and all people came from afrika thousands of years ago. As a hungarian i say we're all humans and fuck the borders. We have to respect each other regardless of religion or ethnic differences. Yes, we lost a bunch of territories. Sad, move on. If the romanians or slovakians were given rights back than and let them speak their own language, wasn't forced to speak hungarian, maybe they didn't wanted to be separated from the hungarians...
This hatred must stop. Our nations lived so long time together and next to each other, it would be a miracle not to mix with each other. In Hungary, and i think in the rest of europe too, hard to find a person who is not a mixture of some other nation as well than his own nationality.
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.
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.
He said rightfully I think
"Are rightfully Hungarian"

The funny thing is, Hungary lost 75% of his territory because of a war which the Austrians wanted, and the Hungarians fought politically against declaring the war, but they had no chance against the majority of Austrian politicans.

And a question for General Knowledge: Why Hungary?
I am happy for the video as a hungarian, but confused due to Hungaries irrelevancy compared to UK, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey.
Perhaps because Hungarians (much like us Finns and our brothers in the south, Estonians) represent a culturally, linguistically and historically distinct group of people in Europe. I don't think Hungary is irrelevant. Even we learned in history class how powerful Hungary and the Austro-Hungarian empire was long ago.

Being a Serb from Subotica/Szabadka the northern most city in Serbia I can say we have great relations, many of my friends are Hungarian and we don’t even talk about any nationalistic issues.

(Not a fan of Vucic though) but I like Hungary being so different from others, especially their language. All in all Szeretlek Magyarorszag ❤️
Serbs, especially in recent years have friendly relations with Hungarians in Vojvodina and like Hungary overall. We even have a recent national hero from 90s that was Hungarian and everyone from ordinary people to hard nationalists honour him.

Yes, it was one of the most epic moments in history as well. We are proud to be brothers with you my dear lengyel friend. :)
The balkans are really looked over throughout history. I won't say that modern Europe was shaped by the Balkans, but realize if the ottomans went through us, modern history would be very, very different
I'm currently on a vacation to Hungary and the funniest thing here is that most of the souvenirs use pre trianon map
That's a real shame...
It’s quite common , “Nagymagyarország” maps are everywhere
A lot of people in these shops are really unfriendly towards Slovaks. They often speak English with anyone but you if they hear you are Slovak.
How is this casual ultra-nationalism funny to you? lol
Yes, that's the Kindom of Hungary map, it's part of our history.
I've been waiting for so long to see this QaQ
During the ottoman invasions, hungary broke into 3 parts (and later 4 for a bit). The biggest territory was controlled by the ottomans (mainly southern hungary), to the east, there was the Transylavnian Principality, which was hungarian, but they paid the ottomans annually so the ottomans wont attack them (so basically they were an ottoman puppet state, as later on a lot of rulers we're backed up by the ottomans, not the people living there). And then there was the Hungarian kingdom, which was all of northwest and western hungary btw (this includes croatia and upper hungary and the land inbetween them). Upper hungary changed hands a few times, between the Hungarian kingdom (which was controlled by Austria) and Transylvania. Then in 1682, Hungary broke into 4 parts, as Upper Hungary broke away from the rest of the Hungarian kingdom, which wasn't controlled by the ottomans, but the leader of upper hungary was very much leaning towards the ottomans (So much so that during the freeing of hungarian territory they was on the ottoman's side, and Thököly Imre (upper hungary's leader)'s wife actually held out against Austrian forces for 2 years in a small bastion.
As a foreigner living in Hungary, I can see how the people still grieve about this loss.
I would imagine the backstabby way it happened didn’t help either…When the Hapsburg Monarchy collapsed and the Kingdom of Hungary became independent, they put in charge a pacifist who had cooperated with the Entente and been against the war.
The Entente told Hungary they would be expected to hold plebiscites to allow minority regions to decide if they wanted to stay or leave. Once Hungary disbanded its military, its neighbors instead of waiting for the plebiscites, invaded from every side. These neighbors included a couple of countries also formed from Austria-Hungary (Czecherslovakia and The Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes which was formed by the Union of Serbia with Austro-Hungarian territories in what would later be Yugoslavia.
They took what they wanted and forced Hungary to sign the Treaty of Trianon or else.
Every nation in Europe had their peaks. Bohemia held Silesia for over 700 years only to loose it to Prussia and subsequently to Poland with a funny justification that PL got back their territory. Germans held Silesia for less than 200 years so did Poles which includes the post WW2 era. Silesia had significant Czech speaking areas although Germans had overwhelming majority there. Hungary should move on otherwise their sentiment escalates like in Putin's Russia.
@@luboskulhavy7769 Sorry that was not a peak that was an integral part of Hungary for more than 1000 years. The peak is for example when they conquered Austria. It's not the same.
@F. A. That has nothing to do with this case either. The thing is that the Charpatian basin was only conquered by the Hungarians, none of the thieving nation hade any right to claim those lands whatsoever.
@F. A. How hurt is your butt, child ?
Why didnt you include the revolutions? They are very interesting and changed a lot if things.
Most of the them failed and although they are national days in hungary not much changed with them. They are mostly just to raise nationalism in the country

Hello General Knowledge! Fun facts: Hungarian folk tales and origin stories always talk about the Magyars as Huns, and as brothers. Until the 19th century Hungarians were called Huns and Scythians, by other Hungarians and even by their enemies. In that period, the Habsburgs wanted to take the roots of the Hungarian people, so that the Austrian dominance would be unquestionable in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Then began the finno-ugric theory, which says that Hungarians are finno-ugric peoples, not originated from the steppes, but the northern taiga. This 200 years old LIE finally comes to an end, because DNA researces show that the "land taking Hungarians" and the Huns were in fact closely related, and were inhabitants of the steppes. The Avar period is also a "Hunnic-Hungarian period", the remnants of the Huns who stayed in the Carpathian basin were named Avars. (In Hungarian language, "avar" means "fallen leaves on the forest ground", which means the Avars were the ones who remained after the fall of the Hunnic Empire.) And Avar artefacts have runes on them, which can be read in Hungarian language. (Needle holder from Szarvas, and a handle of a bow from Környe) Hungarians use their ancient runes even today, search for it as Rovásírás. So "land taking" was in fact coming back where their ancestors lived. I hope I added some info to your base knowledge. All the best! :D
Nobody teaches that. There arent any evidence that Huns and the Magyars are closely related. None.
@@attilamarics4808 Actually, recent genetic studies have proven a connection between the Huns and the conquering Magyar tribes. Their remains were examined and genetically sequenced. You can search for these studies on line (don't want to post a link because Yt tends to delete my comments with them). Archeogenetics have made strides in the past 2o years, it's very exciting to see what they have, and will uncover in the future.
@@TheCatsMeoooow I dont know. I read and listened to Dr. Török Tibor's lecture, and he doesnt make such claims. I have to tell you that when I went to university, not long ago, professors called the Magyar, Hun connection pseudosience, and bullshit, they laughed about it because it has no evidence, and it never had.
Not to menton these claim were made by acamdeics most of the times wihtout any experiecne in the field or credentials in it. The things they are teaching about this topic for example in highschool is all made up. And when you go to a university you can listen to the professors cry about it all the time, because nobody asked them it just sounded good in the media.
@@TheCatsMeoooow Thank you, I was going to write an answer but you were faster. :) Greetings from Szeklerland!
@@attilamarics4808 It is in fact proven. People don't teach about the true history of Hungary since the finno-ugric nonsense started.
2:18 somehow you forgot Slavs, that were there for 4 centuries, with Great Moravia kingdom for 2 centuries. Also the thumbnail image of video is inaccurate, in 2022 Slovakia does not have Ruthenia, that's part of Ukraine (Soviet) since the end of WWII.
He mentioned them.
The Avar khaganate settled the slavs to central europe, so, he mention the khaganate, its enough. Slavs held territory less than 70 years in the pannonian basin.
The Europeans in the past never really saw the importance of these Balkan resistance against the Turks. Europe would steer a very different direction if it were swallowed whole by the mighty Ottomans.
all heil to Jan Sobieski!!!
@@o9577 *NO* !
because there were a 80 000 germans waiting to fight, and they also could won if no Lithuanians - Belorusians- Polands hussars were there
The resistance in the Balkan was not serious. After they were conquere, the Balkan folks rather supported the Ottoman Empire.
Happy I and every other Hungaryan saw this [Magyarországról]
I’m Hungarian and the treaty of trianon is just sad because so many hungarian families was separated
Trianon is justice for Magyars. Justice because they tried to enslave most nations in Hungary (Uhorsko - multinational monarchy ). ... open your eyes and don't be blinded by selected history. You insult the surrounding nations, which brings constant conflicts. There may be consequences.
@@frantisekiv5512first there is no insulting and second there is no selected history. History can’t be selected
@@koni882 The Hungarian interpretation of history is selected history. It ignores many facts and on the contrary, emphasizes unfounded things. It also happens in other countries, but in Hungary it is extreme.

There even in breaks between lessons kids couldn't speak other than French, in Hungary there were even schools for them. Learn some, than complain.
@2balkan4you lol what country are you from?
One important thing about this video. Today we call this country Hungary. But when this country was established it was not called Hungary, but in english language it is called Hungary. And the most important is that in this empire it was a union of many nations. Hungarians were only about 30% af all population, so they were minority in the empire that in english language is called Hungary!!! Even at the beginning of the 20th century the population of Hungarians in Hungary was only 40% of all inhabitants of the country !!! This is important to know, so that people don't have incorrect understanding of the country.
Hungarians were 40% only after the devastation of the Ottomans, there are no sources about the ethnic makeup of the Kingdom from before. The other thing is, that they formed the state, that's why it's Hungary.
@@anotherhistoryenthusiast5874 there are no sources who formed the empire at the beginning. Only source is that first " hungarian" king made an alliance with Slavic (Slovak) kings. It is because there were pagan Hungarian and Slovak kings and on the other side there were kings (Hungarian and Slovak) that wanted to be christianized. The history we know today was written by christians,we know little or nothing about early historical events.
@@marians7364 Hungarians literary conquered the Carpathian Basin, then Steven was coronated as the first king a hundred and something years later. We know what happened. The kingdom was formed by the Árpád dinasty and the Hungarian warrior class became nobility, other, more agricultural or pastoral Hungarians became the peasantry, plus the Slavs. Germanic peoples became mostly city folk. This is how it began, but later it was mixed up, Hungarians, Slavs settled in cities too, Slavs and Germans could get into nobility, altough not from the existing Slavic peasantry, but from foreign Germanic and Slavic nobles from Poland and the HRE and Croatia.
Ever though about doing the territorial evolution of Bolivia; all it's neighbors have at one point taken land from them.
A really interesting case too!
@@General.Knowledge Yes, Bolivia pls
Thank you for doing one of my countries 😃
the treaty of Trianon was probably warranted; most minorities living in Austria-Hungary got their independence, which is great. however, without exception, every new country took some of Hungarys main land away, where ethnic Hungarians lived. that's the unfair part, it could have been an acceptable treaty, and it wasnt.
I really like your point of view which I - as Slovak - fully subscribe. I am appalled by the fact that my nation took areas which were obviously Magyar demographically. Simply put, the borders are unjust. However, I am equally appalled by attitude of Magyar nationalists who refuse to respect the fact that our ancestors were as much subjects of the Holy Crown as theirs and that Upper Hungary was (and is) a legitimate Slovak ethnic homeland - at least from point of view of right of self-determination (I know Slovakia was never delineated as political entity before 1918, even though Slovak politicians asked king František Jozef for it twice).
After WWII, we could do the same as Czechs did to Germans. But we did not. And we have had "right" to do that. Especially after those looong centuries of you treating us without any respect. So don't worry, be happy. P.S.: Check your origin. Maybe you are actually not even one of the people you are "fighting" for ;).

THAT'S AN ANTI HUNGARIAN PROPAGANDA NOTHING BUT LIES TO "JUSTIFY" THE THEFTS. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO OWN ANY BIT OF LAND OF THE HUNGARIANS'S TERRITORIES!
The Latin was the official language of the Hungarian kingdom untill 1844.
The Hungarian was official language 1844-1849, after the suppression of the Hungarian Freedom War (1848-49) the German became the official language. Then, after the Austrian- Hungarian Compromise from 1867 untill 1918 the Hungarian language became the official language again in Hungary.
In 1868 the Hungarian parliament made the most liberal nationality law of the world. Other countries did not have any similar. France forced assimilated all nationalities and continously refuse any right of nationalities till now. Brits starved death 2 000 000 Irish and did not give them any right. Russia was the prison of the peoples. Etc. In contrast in Hungary every nationality had own schools, where they could learn their mother language. The language of the state, the Hungarian was taught altogether 2-4 hours a week. The leaders of the nationalities did not want any state language…they protested it. - This was the short story of the “Magyarization”.
The “Magyarization” is an anti-Hungarian lie propaganda.
THE NATIONALITY LAW OF THE KINGDOM OF HUNGARY WAS THE MOST LIBERAL IN THE WORLD. OTHER COUNTRIES DID NOT HAVE SIMILAR. THE NATIONALITIES HAD THE WIDEST USE OF LANGUAGE THAT WAS TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE IN THE 19TH CENTURY.

SHOW ME SIMILAR LIBERAL, HUMANIC LANGUAGE LAWS IN THE XIX. CENTURY, LATER, AND NOW!
The Hungarians were in the Charpatian basin first before every neighboring nation. Conquering it whole in the 9th century, giving them the right of conquest. In fact the Hungarians are there since the 4th. century AD. according to archeology,historiography and archeogenetical studies therfore factually true. All of Trianons accusations against Hungary were lies and forgery! It had nothing to do with the ethnicitites whereabouts. It had nothing to do with human rights there were no referendums except for a city but the Hungarians had fight with blood for it. It had nothing to do with historical rights or morality or justice. That’s why the Charpathian minorities made up fake history to themselves to set it up like a rightful act. But in reality it was just a mercilles dictatum to demolish the Hungarian spirit wich they are afraid of to this day. The west knew our capabilites. We won wars for the Austrians. Before the Austrians we defeated most of Europe as well. We defeated and texed empires. In reality the west was afraid of the Hungarian nation because they knew what they are capable of th most rebellious disobidient nation. What do you think why did they gave their lands to inferior people? Because those are obidient and ignorant people in 1920 only 33% of rumania were litarete in serbia 55% in Hungary 80%. See? They didn't want to let the civilized developed, once the greatest kingdom of Euorope to have power because they would've been a major player again, most likely an opposition again for the west. Because eventually the minorities would have sided with the Hungarians because of their favourable politics. Making an integrated powerful nation in the middle of Europe. It is clear that this was the main reason to unbalance the power to shift it to west By weakening the greatest nation of middle-eastern Europe.
But Hungary still lives and will not die until she don't take back her rightful property wich only belongs to the Hungarians. Justice will be served sooner or later and everything and everyone will get back to their rightful places. History is still being written. Hungary did not oppress the minority. That was a false accusation to justify the theft. The minorities in Hungary had better living environment than in their neighbouring home countries from where they were settled. Another hole in the story that all of these ethnicites were not native but migrants from the sorrounding countries therfore claiming that they needed a sovereign country to themselves from Hungary is unrightful, because they had home countries. To claim that they wanted to join the mother country is a lie agian because they were settled from there in the first place. You migrate to the neighboring country then in certain region you outbred natives then you claim that land as yours fabricating fake history and victimizing yourself. Nope. It was all set up like they were already there and Hungary steal from them in the 9th century. While the exact opposite happened. Hungary conquered the land centuries later the migrants were settled and without right the Entente gave them our land claiming to “giving it back”. Absolute theft. From the countries wich had no right to take any land of the Hungarians at all.
The proof that the minority was not oppressed at all is that they had a lot of some of them more schools than in their home countries. It was also in their own languge they only had to learn Hungarian 2 times a week. But the most important factor is that their numbers never dwindled but always grew. Wich is the exact opposite attribute of the oppressed people. Just look at the Hungarians in their native lands now ruled by foreigners they are diwndling because in fact they are oppressed to this day. The Hungarians were the first in the world who gave rights to the minorities, while England and France was forcefully assimilating the other ethnicites. In Hungary the Hungarization was volunteraly as well. Hungary was not like in medieval times, in Hungary was a well develeped Country Compare to tmost of the neighbóring countries. For example in Hungary the able for write and read people were more than 80% while in serbia about 55% and rumunia about 33%. They were culturally inferior uncivilized because of this, rightfully. The accusations were lies against Hungary.
The thieves who stole from Hungary didn’t keep any of their words of giving certain rights to the natives and actually oppressing the Hungarians to this day with ethnocidium mainly Slovakia, Ukraine and rumunia. But there are anti Hungarian sentiment in Serbia and Austria as well. Their only weapon is basless hate wich reveals itself that they are afraid of the Hungarians with hatred they are trying to suppress their fear, but their hatred is basless in truth therofore it is in vain, because they know the capabilities of the Hungarians the conqueror nation from the Huns wich lies in their will slumbering yet… waiting to be reawoken and it surely will!
Ethnical quantity on a given territory is not a deciding factor of who the land rightfully belongs. Therefore the today’s landowners cannot form right to own that land by that, those people aren’t natives there to begin with. The only rightful owners of a territory is the rightful landowner the state in this case. it was taken from Hungary by false accusations and by power therefore it was an unrightful dictate as well as most importantly on false historical claims. Consequently Hungary can and will rightfully claim her lands back! Hungary will retake it and they will expell those unauthorized immigrant people from there rightfully as a punishment for their crimes against the Hungarian nation.Such crimes as genocides, stealing, plundering, discrimination, segregation, racism, unrightful expelling of natives, history falsification, ethnocide, demagogy. There will not be ethnical problem no more! The truth is there was a native population(Huns) living for thousand of years in their own established sovereign state wich at some point became under an alien rule wich settled a lot of migrants into the natives country. While the natives being genocided expelled sparsing them. Until at some point in history the migrants became so many that in some regions they've became majority. Then WW1 happened an opportunity for these migrants to claim the land of the natives as their own. Therefore to get those lands they made up history for themeselves claiming that they were there first and the natives are the invaders. Because they were siding with the winners of course everyone belived them. Until now… More and more Hungarian starts to realize how the dictatum was unjust more and more youth grow up with the rightful idelogies like irrdentism and revisionism. History is not yet over, for Hungary. They will wake from their slumber when enough people realizes what happened truly then the inernational collaboration between the outlander Hungarians and mainlander Hungarians will grow stronger and stronger then finally they will unify their nation again under the ideology of full revision and rightful justification and with that the now unified Hungarians will reconquer their lands! Justice for Hungary will come as well as the demise of the thieves. The new Hunnic domain in the Charpatian basin True Hungary will rise agian! Every drop of pain they had to endour because of the vile lying oppressors the Hungarian nation got only stronger and wiser. History will repeats itself 895 is not that far away.
*“Entente Powers did not conquer any Austrian-Hungarian land during World War I.”*
This means they had NO RIGHT to take away any of the Hungarian lands unless Hungary agrees to it but Hungary was forced to agree. Making the whole situation nothing but an **unlawful internationally illegal exploitation of the Hungarian country! Soon the truth will be published everywhere, then finally it will be known by the masses, then the full revision can start rightfully. Because it will be proven that the nations who are currently owning the former territories established and owned by the Hungarian nation are holding it with FALSE RIGHTS based on FAKE HISTORY and INJUSTICE making the FULL REVISION OF HUNGARY A RIGHTFUL MUST OF JUSTIFICATION for the atrocities the Hungarians had to suffer unrightfully. By primitive barbarian nations motivated by greed and jeaoulsy. While punishing the history falsifyier sinner murderer thieves expelling them from Hungary to where they were settled some centuries ago!
**There will be Justice and Punishment when the time of judgment finally comes!**
A nation built on fake foundations are nation until the truth prevail… and Hungary is built on the true foundation. Good luck thieves resisting the soon coming wrath of the true Huns!
The truth won't be hidden forever it’s always prevails eventually.
