Lajos Kossuth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lajos "Louis" Kossuth (Ľudovít Košút in Slovak) (Monok, September 19, 1802–Turin, March 20, 1894) was a Hungarian lawyer, politician and Regent-President of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1849. Lajos Kossuth was born at Monok, a small town in the county of Zemplén as the oldest of four children. By combining this nationalism with an insistence on the superiority of the Magyars to the Slavonic inhabitants of Hungary, he sowed the seeds of both the collapse of Hungary in 1849 and his own political demise. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lajos_Kossuth   (3268 words)

HUNGARY - Hungarian Online Resources (Magyar Online Forrás) At the end of the war the Monarchy disintegrated and the consequences for Hungary were even worse than for Austria: in the post-war chaos its neighbours easily occupied most of its territory and the peace treaty of Trianon dictated by the Western powers approved their capture. Hungary's turn was in 1956, when for about two weeks the country attracted the attention of the whole world. Hungary has regained its freedom and has now the chance to fulfil its main goal which was set more than a thousand years ago by its founders and which has been the focal point in the country's history since then: to join Europe. hungaria.org /hal/hungary/index.php?halid=14&menuid=248   (2866 words)

A major element constituting the tragedy of the Jews in Hungary was that those people who after their Emancipation (1867) became unreservedly Hungarians regarding their language, customs, clothing, and most importantly, their feelings, were excluded from the community of Hungarian citizens.

Hungary As portrayed by Mihály Munkácsy in his history painting for the Hungarian parliament, this event, which was adorned over the years with legendary episodes, was gradually transfigured in the 19th century from the »conquest and settlement of Hungary« to the national myth of origin of the Hungarian state. In the illustrations of the 19th century it was made to appear that the truly tragic symbolic figure for the collapse of Hungary was King Lajos II (Louis), who was left in the lurch by the nation and whose fate personifies that of Hungary, as it were. In his popular painting from 1860, Bertalan Székely treats the death of Lajos II, showing a dramatic, idealised scene in which a small group of nobles and ordinary soldiers have just found the royal corpse, which is portrayed in the style of illustrations of the body of the anointed Christ. www.dhm.de /ausstellungen/mythen/english/ungarn.html   (625 words)
