Eps 637: Hungarian History
— The too lazy to register an account podcast
According to the "double-conquest" theory of archaeologist Gyula László Hungary's creation can be dated to 670, with the arrival of an earlier wave of conquerors, the Late Avar s, whom László classified as the Early Magyars.
According to the double-conquest theory, many of the Late Avars/Early Magyars survived the 9th century to merge with the Magyars who were arriving in the area under the leadership of Árpád.
One of these, Croatia , which extended as far north as the Sava River , made itself fully independent in 869.

This process of consolidation led to the Austro-Hungarian compromise of 1867, which created one of the largest and most powerful empires in the world, the Hungarian Empire. After the death of his son, Emperor Ferdinand II, in 1814, the Hungarians rose up against him. The Habsburgs suppressed the revolution with the help of the Russian Tsar, but in 1867 a compromise was reached with them, which established the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This pact really benefited the Hungarians, and the country became the largest and most powerful empire in the world with a population of more than 1.5 million people. The Hungarian economy began to grow, and Budapest became the leading European metropolis. At the beginning of the 20th century, Hungary's GDP grew very rapidly, and Budapest, along with the rest of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, became one of the most important cities in Europe.
Hungary flourished under King Matthias, who was praised for his fairness and justice, and his death eventually led to the decimation of the Ottomans after 150 years in the 16th and 7th centuries. The Habsburgs helped to drive out the Turks and ushered in a more stable period of reconstruction. The successors of the House of Anjou brought expansion to Poland and Dalmatia, along with a great flowering of art and architecture. He saw the country becoming increasingly western, with the addition of new cities such as Budapest, Budapest and Szeged, and the construction of a new capital, Budapest.
When the Habsburg Empire fell apart, an uprising in 1848 led to the death of King Ferdinand I of Hungary and the rise of the Ottoman Empire. Hungarian nationalism was then recognised by the creation of an Austro-Hungarian double monarchy in 1866. After the First World War in 1918, the territory of the "Hungarian Kingdom" was reduced and Hungary was annexed to Romania, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Austria, with minor border adjustments to Italy and Poland.
Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia disintegrated into smaller republics, further fragmenting the former Hungarian territory. At the end of the Second World War, in 1945, parts of Prague and part of it were ceded to the Soviet Union and the Republic of Ukraine.
The library has some of the oldest maps of Hungary, including the largest map collection in the world and the most comprehensive collection in Europe. The map first appeared in Abraham Ortelius' Theatrum orbis terrarum, which was first published in 1570. Hungarian History, and contains 216 reels of microfilm containing more than 1,000 maps, maps and other documents from that period.
Other notable maps of Hungary include a series of 1: 25,000 scale maps published in the United States and a map of the city of Budapest from the 18th century. The Hungarian cultural group is an important part of the Hungarian ethnic group of today, which accounts for more than 90 percent of our population today. In fact, the Republic of Romania, to which it traces its roots, is one of the oldest nations in Europe, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages.
Besides its long settlement history, Hungary can also look back on a long history of formal education. In 1918, the territory of Hungary was divided among the new nations surrounding modern Hungary. When it is said that your ancestors came from Hungary, they often refer to the old historical kingdom of Romania, not to Hungary itself.
The remaining areas on the western and northern edges became the dominion of the Habsburg dynasty of Austria. This area included the capital Budapest, the largest city in the country, as well as a number of other cities and municipalities.
The origins of the Magyar people go back thousands of years, although many details remain a mystery. The origin of the "Magyars" as a people goes back over a thousand years and contains many details that raise mysteries.
The Hungarian language, one of the oldest in Europe, belongs to the lesser-known Finnish-Ugric language family, whose members include Finns and Estonians. Hungarian tribes under the leadership of Arpad settled in the Carpathian Basin and drove the inhabitants out. The Magyars lived in this related group for thousands of years until they were separated from it three thousand years ago.
Under King Matthias, Hungary enjoyed a Western European standard of living, and culture flourished under the rule of Hungarian kings such as King Ferdinand I and King George II.
The south-eastern Transylvanian principality was the heart of Hungarian culture, and the western part of the country was ruled by the Habsburgs, but the central area was ruled by the Turks. The Hungarian army was defeated by them at Mohacs, which began 150 years of Turkish occupation. The most beautiful building that was founded in the fin de siecle was the Hungarian Parliament.
