The Hungarian tribes arrived to the Carpathian Basin with the last wave of the Great Migration at the end of the IXth century (see their route on this map).
The Habsburgs often referred to the Hungarians as "rebellious" and this opinion was not completely groundless as the Hungarians tried to get rid of the Habsburgs during a freedom war (1703-11) led by Ferenc Rákóczi II, Prince of Transylvania, but this was a rather hopeless effort and the rebels finally failed.
Hungarian resistance lasted for a few more months, but by the end of the summer the Russians and the reinforced Austrians finished their job: the freedom war was over.

Due to the close relations of the medieval Hungarian Kingdom with the West, talented Transylvanians found their ways to the early Universities of Europe as early as the 12th and 13th centuries.
This was a direct result of the Hungarian concept of freedom, as well as the respect toward the freedom of others, which permeated the entire Hungarian state-concept, and enabled the Hungarians to rule the Carpathian Basin successfully for a thousand years.
Even after 1711, when Hungarian political independence was completely lost to Habsburg oppression, Hungarian culture in Transylvania not only kept in step with the cultural evolution of the rest of the country, but in many instances it became the guiding force of spiritual and cultural resistance.

Slovakia was a part of the Greater Hungarian Kingdom which in turn was incorporated as an mostly equal partner into Austria-Hungary in the nineteenth century, and as such the Slovaks suffered from ethnic cleansing.

The Hungarian authorities in their endeavor to suppress the Slovak nationality went even to the extent of taking away Slovak children to be brought up as Magyars, and forbade them to learn their language and their history in school and church.

 The Lessons of Trianon and Sopron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Eventually the kingdom posessed 14 national minorities, of which the Magyars were only one, and in order not to hurt the feelings of any, Latin remained the sole official language of the kingdom until 1844.
The fight for Hungarian independence of 1703-1711 was led by Francis II Rákóczy whose insurgent fighters were mostly Slovak and Ruthenian peasants, who proudly declared themselves to be Hungarians, as distinct from the racial term Magyar.
It would be fitting if on the 81st anniversary of the dismemberment of the Hungarian Kingdom, after the unnecessary and undeserved suffering of three generations of innocent ethnic minorities, we would start the process of rebuilding, not of a nation state, but the Federation of Central Europe.

 Magyars - Avoo - Ask Us A Question - Hungarians (Hungarian: Magyarok) or Magyars[4] are an ethnic group primarily ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The word Hungarian has also a wider meaning, because – especially in the past – it referred to all inhabitants of the Kingdom of Hungary irrespective of their ethnicity.
(Hungarian historians give the lowest estimates as 70,000 people, Serbian and Slovak authors suggest much lower numbers - around 25,000.) The Slavic population of the region (and remnants of the Avars in the southwest) was also nearly fully assimilated by the Magyars, except those living in present-day Croatia and Slovakia.
The number of Hungarians in the neighbouring countries mostly stagnated or slightly decreased, because of assimilation (in part forced – see Slovakization and Romanianization), emigration to Hungary (in the 1990s, especially from Transylvania and Vojvodina), and natural decrease.
