  History of Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hungary was established as a Christian kingdom under Stephen I of Hungary, who was crowned in December 1000 AD or January 1001 AD.
Hungary lost 84% of its timber resources, 43% of its arable land, and 83% of its iron ore. Because most of the country's pre-war industry was concentrated near Budapest, Hungary retained about 51% of its industrial population, 56% of its industry, 82% of its heavy industry, and 70% of its banks.
The Treaty of Peace with Hungary signed on 10 February 1947 declared that "The decisions of the Vienna Award of 2 November 1938 are declared null and void" and Hungarian boundaries were fixed along the former frontiers as they existed on 1 January 1938, except a minor loss of territory on the Czechoslovakian border.

Hungary: MATAV Emerges As Model For Telephone Service By Kitty McKinsey Budapest, 20 October 1998 (RFE/RL) -- Just five years ago, one million Hungarians --a tenth of the country's population-- had languished on waiting lists for as long as 25 years, dreaming of someday getting their own telephones.
This is impressive compared to Hungary's recent past, but still distant from the level of 94 (lines per 100 population) in the United States, where many households have more than one line.
Although Hungary had been a magnet for foreign investment since the 1980s, poor phone service was a handicap in the first years of a free-market system.

Hungary was in grave financial trouble and getting a new collection of shirts was harder than changing one's name so he changed his name, not back to the Jewish Lipschitz but rather, in keeping with his political views, to the Hungarian working class name of Lakatos.
