I Love History

Today June 4th, one of the most shameful political treaties in human history was signed, Treaty of Trianon.

In the wake of that treaty, the newborn state of Hungary only kept 28% of the land the pre-war Kingdom of Hungary (then a part of Austro-Hungarian empire) had. It was one of the largest, most unfair humiliations ever inflicted on a nation.

Btw, I am not Hungarian.

"The West raped the thousand-year-old borders and history of Central Europe. They forced us to live between indefensible borders, deprived us of our natural treasures, separated us from our resources, and made a death row out of our country. Central Europe was redrawn without moral concerns, just as the borders of Africa and the Middle East were redrawn. We will never forget that they did this.

And when we thought that neither the arrogant French and British nor the hypocritical American empire could sink deeper than this, they could still do so. After World War II we were thrown to the Communists without heartache. The reward of the Poles, the Czechs and the Slovaks was the same as our punishment. May this be an eternal lesson for the peoples of Central Europe! …

Our great-grandfathers didn’t give up either. They did not kneel or ask for mercy. We stayed on our feet and endured. We endured the wagon towns, the Nazi camps, the Soviet gulag, the deportations, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Ceauşescu.

Today, there is no Czechoslovakia, no Yugoslavia nor a Soviet Union. There is no British or French empire. And what’s left of them is now twisting in the multicultural grip of their vindictive colonies." - Viktor Orban

@Mugin16 That is a great speech and a great truth. The way the west rearranged borders in Eastern Europe after first and second world wars was outrageous.

We are happy to build the common future with Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, which are proud of their national identity. History has given the chance, perhaps the last, for the peoples of Central Europe to open a new era, to defend themselves against the danger from the West and the East, and to emerge together." - Viktor Orban [/quote]

@Mugin16 Although the danger from the East is a thing of the past whereas the danger from the West (EU) is real.

@Cierzo From my experience talking to Central Europeans, they still fear Russia.
