Download or read book The Illustrated History of the Hungarian Jews written by Katalin Jalsovszky and published by Vince Books. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Ancient Roman Empire to the present day, the life of the Jewish people in Hungary is documented, aiming to fill the current gap that exists in their history. The analysis focuses on the social and cultural circumstances of this population as well as their background, considered within the context of Hungary’s own past. The chapters journey through the middle ages, the reform age, World War I, and the Holocaust, which concluded with the extermination of the Hungarian Jewry—considered one of Europe’s largest and most important Jewish communities. Accentuated with a striking array of photographs capturing archeological artifacts, architectural relics, and works of art, this consideration delves into this community’s religion, daily life, and the prominent role they have played in the cultural and economic life of modern Hungary. A collection of authentic documents—some of which have been unpublished until now—is also featured.

Download or read book Hungary Between Two Empires 1526 1711 written by Géza Pálffy and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hungarian defeat to the Ottoman army at the pivotal Battle of Mohács in 1526 led to the division of the Kingdom of Hungary into three parts, altering both the shape and the ethnic composition of Central Europe for centuries to come. Hungary thus became a battleground between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires. In this sweeping historical survey, Géza Pálffy takes readers through a crucial period of upheaval and revolution in Hungary, which had been the site of a flowering of economic, cultural, and intellectual progress—but battles with the Ottomans lead to over a century of war and devastation. Pálffy explores Hungary's role as both a borderland and a theater of war through the turn of the 18th century. In this way, Hungary became a crucially important field on which key debates over religion, government, law, and monarchy played out. Reflecting 25 years of archival research and presented here in English for the first time, Hungary between Two Empires 1526–1711 offers a fresh and thorough exploration of this key moment in Hungarian history and, in turn, the creation of a modern Europe.

Download or read book Hungarians and Europe in the Early Middle Ages written by András Róna-Tas and published by . This book was released on 1999-03 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lavishly illustrated, the book contains seventy five historical maps and colour plates which visualize the historical background of Hungary and introduces its early history to a broader readership. The early history of Hungarians is embedded into the history of Eurasia and special attention is given to the relationship of the Hungarians with the Khazars and the Bulghar-Turks. The first part deals with methods and sources which can be used for elucidating the ancient history of the Hungarians, relying on research into linguistics, archaeology, anthropology and natural history. The second part traces how the Hungarians came into the Carpathian Basin and answers such questions as: who are the Magyars, from where did they come and how did they conquer the land? It reconstructs and examines their early political and social structure, the economy, and religion, and compares the Hungarian medieval process with the ethnogenetic processes of the Germanic, Slavic and Turkic people.

Download or read book Illustrated Military History of Hungary written by Róbert Hermann and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book which presents Hungary's military history in a readable style, meeting the scientific standards at the same time. A military chronicle which introduces the reader to the key facts and connections involved in the military aspect of Hungarian history, the integration of the country into Western culture and the features of Hungarian military affairs that harmonize with or differ from the main developments in European military affairs.A beautifully designed album which includes more than 120 spectacular and special illustrations and more than 30 detailed campaign maps. There are few European states which have been in existence and constantly maintained their statehood for 1100 years. Arriving in the lands around the Tisza and the Danube in 895-896, the Magyars occupied the whole of the Carpathian Basin within a few years and unified the smaller peoples who lived there. In 907, at the Battle of Pozsony (Pressburg), they demonstrated to the whole of Europe their determination and ability to defend their new homeland. After nearly a century of military expeditions across Europe, the new country finalized its borders and established its authority. Its rulers, and particularly the first king, St Stephen, made Hungary into a respected force in Europe, the continent for which it was to serve as a defensive shield over the next thousand years.

Download or read book Hungary in World War II written by Deborah S. Cornelius and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Hungary's participation in World War II is part of a much larger narrative—one that has never before been fully recounted for a non-Hungarian readership. As told by Deborah Cornelius, it is a fascinating tale of rise and fall, of hopes dashed and dreams in tatters. Using previously untapped sources and interviews she conducted for this book, Cornelius provides a clear account of Hungary’s attempt to regain the glory of the Hungarian Kingdom by joining forces with Nazi Germany—a decision that today seems doomed to fail from the start. For scholars and history buff s alike, Hungary in World War II is a riveting read. Cornelius begins her study with the Treaty of Trianon, which in 1920 spelled out the terms of defeat for the former kingdom. The new country of Hungary lost more than 70 percent of the kingdom’s territory, saw its population reduced by nearly the same percentage, and was stripped of five of its ten most populous cities. As Cornelius makes vividly clear, nearly all of the actions of Hungarian leaders during the succeeding decades can be traced back to this incalculable defeat. In the early years of World War II, Hungary enjoyed boom times—and the dream of restoring the Hungarian Kingdom began to rise again. Caught in the middle as the war engulfed Europe, Hungary was drawn into an alliance with Nazi Germany. When the Germans appeared to give Hungary much of its pre–World War I territory, Hungarians began to delude themselves into believing they had won their long-sought objective. Instead, the final year of the world war brought widespread destruction and a genocidal war against Hungarian Jews. Caught between two warring behemoths, the country became a battleground for German and Soviet forces. In the wake of the war, Hungary suffered further devastation under Soviet occupation and forty-five years of communist rule. The author first became interested in Hungary in 1957 and has visited the country numerous times, beginning in the 1970s. Over the years she has talked with many Hungarians, both scholars and everyday people. Hungary in World War II draws skillfully on these personal tales to narrate events before, during, and after World War II. It provides a comprehensive and highly readable history of Hungarian participation in the war, along with an explanation of Hungarian motivation: the attempt of a defeated nation to relive its former triumphs.
