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.

@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.
