  • Like many European countries, Hungary experiences rapid political changes in the aftermath of the 1918 armistices. The Kingdom of Hungary used to rule big parts of South Eastern Europe and many peoples within its former boundaries are now gaining independence and expand their territory. The new Hungarian Republic is faced by external and internal pressures and after a coup becomes the Hungarian Soviet Republic, the 2nd Soviet State in Europe.

      There are several factual mistakes in the video.
      1. The Romanian-Hungarian borders prior to the 1919 war stopped before Cluj, not where the map shows them.
      2. The new demarcation line was decided upon AFTER the war started and it was still less than what the Entente had promised Romania in 1916
      3 It was Honved regiments in Transylvania which started the war, not Romania itself.
      4 Basrabgia was part of romania. The map shows it was part of russia.

      The "Lenin Boys" was a hungarian communist paramilitary unit, that spread a wave of terror whereever they went, executing men, women and children without hesitation and remorse (when the young son of a victim cried at his fathers hanged body, they hanged also the boy for counterrevolutionist activity). These bandids were only equaled later by the SS. When you make jokes, please remember, that these men killed innocent people en masse. This is not something you should be joking about!

      Im romania so i might be biased too but 1.the Transilvania that hungarians conquered was much larger than what we originaly got so we advanced to liberate all of it.
      2.We also advanced because Hungary was invaded from all sides and inevitably did too.
      3.Another reason was to destroy the communist goverment because you wouldn't like living in a communist Hungary would you? plus they were a threat to Romania because of their ties to soviet Russia.
      4."marched into completly hungarian territory." keep in mind that territory belonged to us when you first conquered it and since then romanians or proto-romanians to be exact were deported,killed and magyarized,just because the people there were hungarian doesnt mean that the land was hungarian no hard feelings if you want to live in Transilvania you can,theres nothing stoping you but its gonna remain romanian.
      5.Keep in mind that alot of romanians were magyarized,so Hungary today is petty romanian and some hungarian figures might have been romanian even you could be romanian,no shame in it.

      @@fergal2424 There is a common misconception that since Germany was not occupied, it was not "wholly" or "truly" defeated, a sentiment Hitler seized when he came to power, calling it a "stab in the back," by politicians. Actually, a part of Germany was invaded, and with the revolution in Germany and the fall of Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire, the fact that Germany was not occupied is almost irrelevant when it comes to the extent of the defeat, because, had the allies not accepted an armistice, Germany would have been occupied by probably the end of the year at most. This is why they had so little political power at this point: they could not continue the war, as they would lose, and even harsher terms would have been implemented. I recommend you watch The Great War videos of october/november 1918 for a closer look.

These Lenin Boys can be compared with the Russian Cheka regarding their brutal actions. Also Hungarian Whites committed severe atrocities in Hungary after there take-over from the Reds. Known as the Hungarian White Terror. Perhaps you guys can cover that in the future.

      Foreign policy scandal, demoralization of the Hungarian Red Army
      In late May, after the Entente military representative demanded more territorial concessions from Hungary, Kun attempted to "fulfill" his promise to adhere to Hungary's historical borders. The men of the Hungarian Red Army were recruited mainly from the volunteers of the Budapest proletariat.[25]
      In June, the Hungarian Red Army invaded the eastern part of the newly-forming Czechoslovak state, approximately the former Upper Hungary. The Hungarian Red Army achieved some military success early on: under the leadership of Colonel Aurél Stromfeld, it ousted Czech troops from the north, and planned to march against the Romanian army in the east. Despite promises for the restoration of the former borders of Hungary, the communists declared the establishment of the Slovak Soviet Republic in Prešov (Eperjes) on 16 June 1919.[26] After the proclamation of the Slovak Soviet Republic, the Hungarian nationalists and patriots soon realized that the new communist government had no intentions to recapture the lost territories, only to spread communist ideology and establish other communist states in Europe, thus sacrificing Hungarian national interests.[27]
      The Hungarian patriots in the Red Army saw this as a betrayal, and their support for the government began to erode (the communists and their government supported the establishment of the Slovak Communist state, while the Hungarian patriots wanted to keep the reoccupied territories for Hungary). Despite a series of military victories against the Czechoslovak army, the Hungarian Red Army started to disintegrate due to tension between nationalists and communists during the establishment of the Slovak Soviet Republic. The concession eroded support of the communist government among professional military officers and nationalists in the Hungarian Red Army; even the chief of the general staff Aurél Stromfeld, resigned his post in protest.[28]
      When the French promised the Hungarian government that Romanian forces would withdraw from the Tiszántúl, Kun withdrew his remaining military units who had remained loyal after the political fiasco in Upper Hungary. Kun then unsuccessfully tried to turn the remaining units of the demoralized Hungarian Red Army on the Romanians

He bowed so deep before the Entente (he basically bend his spine until he had none) , that there was absolutely zero respect from the west.

    Some addition: There was a lot of former soldiers and POWs in Hungary (especially in Budapest) at this time, just like in Russa in 1917. Similarly this made the situation even more unstable. (For e.g.: former soldiers killed the former prime minister István Tisza in his own house.) There is debate about the mistakes made by Károlyi, but the country was simply not controllable.

    Hey! First of all thank you for the quality content! I've been following this channel for a long time, it's one of my favourite CZcams channels, and I've never seen anyone talk about the First World War in such depth and quality - which I think is a very underrated subject anyway.
    But I'm not just praising, I'm asking. I am writing from Hungary, the country where the soviet republic of Hungary, the bolsheviks and the lenin boys ruled for 133 days. although it was only a few months, it has caused traumas in the psyche of the people that last to this day, and is still a reference point in public discourse and among politicians - true, only populists talk about it, but I think it speaks for itself that, by historical standards, an episode of a blink of an eye from a hundred years ago can still be a topic of discussion today.
    So, Hungary was a part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy until the loss of World War I. After that, the two countries, which had lived in symbiosis for centuries, drifted apart almost immediately, and while terror set in in Hungary, in austria... so what happened in austria after the great war? i tried to look for summaries of this period, but i couldn't really find any, but i'm very interested to know how it is possible in a country that had been a great european power for centuries before, and which became an insignificant country after the defeat in the world war, that people didn't go 'mad', that the extremists didn't come to power, that there was no communist takeover, etc. .. could there be a major video in the future about post WWI austria, as there was about Germany and Hungary?

      In this regard the Romanian occupational army helped a bit by sending food trains to Hungary, feeding the population for a period of time. Also, it is to note that part of the food shortages in Hungary were also caused by Hungarian farmers, speculating higher prices on the market due to scarcity.

      @@artyerty35 It was not part of Hungary, and was not a Hungarian but a Soviet puppet state, since it was the idea of Lenin, who ordered Kun to create a Slovak Republic.
      In late May, after the Entente military representative demanded more territorial concessions from Hungary, Kun attempted to "fulfill" his promise to adhere to Hungary's historical borders. The men of the Hungarian Red Army were recruited mainly from the volunteers of the Budapest proletariat.[25]
      In June, the Hungarian Red Army invaded the eastern part of the newly-forming Czechoslovak state, approximately the former Upper Hungary. The Hungarian Red Army achieved some military success early on: under the leadership of Colonel Aurél Stromfeld, it ousted Czech troops from the north, and planned to march against the Romanian army in the east. Despite promises for the restoration of the former borders of Hungary, the communists declared the establishment of the Slovak Soviet Republic in Prešov (Eperjes) on 16 June 1919.[26] After the proclamation of the Slovak Soviet Republic, the Hungarian nationalists and patriots soon realized that the new communist government had no intentions to recapture the lost territories, only to spread communist ideology and establish other communist states in Europe, thus sacrificing Hungarian national interests.[27]
      The Hungarian patriots in the Red Army saw this as a betrayal, and their support for the government began to erode (the communists and their government supported the establishment of the Slovak Communist state, while the Hungarian patriots wanted to keep the reoccupied territories for Hungary). Despite a series of military victories against the Czechoslovak army, the Hungarian Red Army started to disintegrate due to tension between nationalists and communists during the establishment of the Slovak Soviet Republic. The concession eroded support of the communist government among professional military officers and nationalists in the Hungarian Red Army; even the chief of the general staff Aurél Stromfeld, resigned his post in protest.[28]

There was something mentioned by my grandfather that he might have fled to Poland from the heat, having previously participated in "white terror" and going a bit too far, since he reportedly had fiery hatred for communists.

      @@MrAnticlimate Indeed. But being a Hungarian, even a peasant, gave them access to more privileges and more rights than if you were Romanian, Slovak, Serb or of any other nation under Hungarian occupation. For example, Hungarian peasants had priority when it came to purchasing land, or borrowing money from banks to purchase land. Or purchasing buildings inside Transylvanian cities. The reason why Romanians could hardly penetrate the cities is due to them not receiving stay, construction permits if they wanted to build a house for example, or there were restriction on houses for sale.
      To counter this, Romanians had to form from scratch independent private institutions. Private banks, to lend them credits. Private cultural associations, to practice their culture and language. Private schools, administered by either the church, former border regiments or wealthy Romanians from the Old Kingdom. And all of this while being obstructed by the Hungarian dominated central authorities, who did not know what legislation to invent so that they can hinder our private education, our banks (the most important Romanian bank, Banca Albina was saved from default by a grant given by the Romania Central Bank, not by the Hungarian one in the 1890s), our press (back then any article written which supported any form of Transylvania autonomy, of unity with Romania or criticizing the Hungarian authorities for their breaches in human rights and liberties were either severely finned, closed all together and the journalists exiled or imprisoned), our cultural associations (particularly ASTRA), etc. etc.
      So no. A Hungarian peasant had a much better environment to thrive and to escape its social status than a Romanian had during the Austria-Hungary monarchy. It is no wonder that most Romanians from Transylvania, until the 1920s, managed to publish their works either in the Old Kingdom or abroad.

      Considering Transylvania: even the Hungarian regions were neglected in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (2nd half of 19th century). In fact, Romanian peasants had better opportunities buying land due to the credit institutions you mentioned, that were supported from Romania. Emigration of Hungarians from Eastern Transylvania was an oft discussed problem in that time.
      As for Hungary being based on imperialism and conquest, it's not clear to me what you are talking about. Hungary's borders were more or less the same after Hungarians occupied it in the 10th century till basically 1920. The Ottoman rule caused it to break into three parts in the 16th and 17th century, and Transylvania under Habsburg rule was seperated from Hungary after that before united with Hungary again, but those changes don't mean the country was based on conquest or expansion. If anything, the country itself was most of the time subject to expansion by greater powers.

In addition, in the countryside the awakening of all Nationalities had been partial before the war at best (though my knowledge is best pre-1900 on this point and open to be corrected).

      @Yugesh Patnaik - Maybe because front experiences desensitized many of them? BTW, those guys didn't represent Europe or Hungary in general, even many intellectuals were against them.

    I would make a National Hungary joke, but the lenin bois are at my doorstep.

    Aaaand another amazing episode!! Such a great content, that hasn't let down since the chronological Great War ended in 2018. Are you planning on doing an episode about the rise to power of the different Ukranian republics and the Russian civil war inside Ukraine? It's very interesting since many of the fighting factions are quite unique (like the "blacks" or anarchists). Thanks!

      A lot of alienated neighbors. I have a Slovenian coworker who can always be distracted from observations of Serbia by mentioning Hungary.

    Could you please consider doing a video on Wilhelm Waßmuß and his endeavours in Persia? He's the German Lawrence of Arabia but not a lot of people know about him.
