It was a living nightmare, more than half the population remained in foreign countries, 80% of your country was divided among others. As they say: Hungarians don’t like war, but Countries like dividing Hungary between themselves.
what a joke! Half the population of hungary was other ethnicites like slovaks, romanians, serbs, rusyns, and others which they were trying to forcefully assimulate into their own. they got what they deserved.
@@aad8sa88as9 Some kind of a redraw of borders was warranted, there were lots of people living in the borders of Hungary who were not hungarian, but Trianon was just not a fair way to divide the country. 3 million hungarians were left outside of their own nation. Just take a look at the "Red Map" created by Pál Teleki and you'll realise that these borders were not created to serve justice nor to bring peace. It just created even more tension between the people and prepared the world for a second World War.
Something creepy about this is that at the final phase it says just "híradó" instead of "világhíradó", which means that the Hungarian news probably then showed only internal events rather than worldwide, making the Hungarians exposed to nazi propaganda. Idk if it's true, just a theory.
Something that also haunts me from the Hungarian broadcast after the puppet government was installed is the fact that it says "Hungarista Híradó". Not "Magyar", but "Hungarista". As far as I know, Hungarians call themselves magyars, and "Hungarian" is an exonym. So this leads me to believe (or think dramatically) that the use of that exonym was the beginning of the destruction of the Hungarian identity and culture (just as what the Germans were trying to do up North in Poland), by using an exonym (one closer to German "Ungarns") instead of their native term.
If I am not mistaken Hungary was always an ally of Germany in WWII... it always had puppet Nazi governments. THEY FOUGHT IN STALINGRAD SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE GERMANS
The hungarian national television to this day starts it's news with the phrase "here are the news from Hungary and the Carpathian basin." The map might be gone but irredentism is very much alive in Orban's little kingdom.
