  Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hungarian independence ended with the Ottoman conquest at the beginning of the 16th century; the parts of Hungary that were not conquered by the Ottomans were annexed by Austria (the rulers of which were Hungarian kings at the same time) in the West, and became the independent Principality of Transylvania in the East.
Therefore, Hungarian politics and culture of the interwar period were saturated with irredentism and revisionism (the restoration of 19th century "greater Hungary" by whatever means necessary).
Hungarians are also known for their prowess at water sports, mainly swimming, water polo and canoeing; this can be said to be surprising at first, due to Hungary being landlocked.

 Hungarian jokes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The majority of jokes in Hungary, as told by common Hungarian people, usually belong to one of these subgenres: Móricka (little Maurice): jokes about a 10 to 12 year old Jewish boy, who is preoccupied with sex and saying obscenities.
Kohn and Grün: jokes about two elderly Jewish people and their constant fear of the future (and the past, which is a fluid substance in totalitarian states and often gets changed...) Arisztid and Tasziló: jokes about old-fashioned Hungarian aristocrats, around and shortly after the WWII period.
These jokes are usually absurd and often describe lunatics out-smarting doctors and the general public.

 Hungarian jokes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kohn and Grün: jokes about two elderly Jewish people and their constant fear of the future (and the past, which is a fluid substance in totalitarian states and often gets changed...)
Political jokes are still popular in the now democratic Hungary, but the public now feels all politicians are so hopelessly corrupt, greedy and untalented that it's not worth making jokes about them.
Animals: Such jokes are usually featuring the bear and the wolf who are always keen about bullying the rabbit, who may be smart but gets beaten up regularly, and the Evil Piglet, who is a verbally aggressive personality, often even to his own expense (due to his stupidity).

Horthy made an alliance with Nazi Germany in the 1930s, in the hope of revising the territorial losses that had followed World War I. Hungary was rewarded by Germany with historical Hungarian territories belonging to Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania, and took an active part in World War II.
