Hi Patzinak, If you felt a personal attack then I do apologize, I did not mean anything like that. Such source can show what Hungarian diplomats thought , possibly how the Hungarian gov't perceived the situation; but it certainly doesn't show what the French were saying or doing or thinking. You see...

You made my day

Hi Patzinak, By then, Ruthenia had already been given to Czechoslovakia. So what? The Entente gave, the Entente took away. It in fact happened, albeit somewhat later (in 1938 to be precise). Now, here, again, you'd have to present very strong evidence to support this... :lol: Now, that was really am...

Ruthenia

Hi, ...they treated their minorities so well. They couldn't afford not to. Well, I have read contradicting accounts on this issue: some felt great, some felt bad. I have read it that Czech rule in the Sudetenland began with Czech soldiers shooting at crowds of German civilians ( http://www.winterson...

pálinka

Hi, Talking about pálinka we may take a short detour back to the original topic (Hu-Ro relations or whatever) As far as I know there is a Romanian word: palinca (I wonder what it may mean :-)). Recently Hungary wanted to have pálinka recognized as a Hungarian speciality (Hungaricum). Romanians disag...

whom to trust

Hi, insidious Don't worry. We are on friendly terms with KACKO. Ah, but where are the articles which explain how the insidious Magyars got the 1910 figures, let alone the 1941 figures? The truth and nothing but the truth :-) Honestly, I would not believe in any of the figures. I would guess somewher...

1941 census

census

Hi Peter,

You have touched upon a very important issue. That is why I gave in my post both 1910 and 1919 figures. So both sides can claim that one of the figures are distorted ;-)

Bye,

CUC

Hi, I must admit I was also eager to read these books. Then I was disappointed. Look at this: With the Roumanian occupation of Transylvania, one saw the exultation over Hungarian oppression in a hundred little ways; the railroad stations, for instance, which had, under Magyar jingoism, borne only th...

Ruthenia

Hi, I'd be inclined to to attribute this to over optimism on Hory's part. Hory was a diplomat, I think he reported what he heard. I would rather attribute this to Polish... (I cannot find the proper word here: desperation, determination, yearn) to get things rolling in Ruthenia. They even sent a sma...

sources

Hi, The info came from “Magyarország és a második világháború” /Hungary and WW2/ edited by László Zsigmond, published in 1966. It contains diplomatic papers regarding the pre-WW2 era as well. Page 150, doc 66, telegram (6858/440) sent by András Hory, Hungarian ambassador in Warsaw, dated 9NOV38. The...

Ruthenia

Hi, Csáky visited Warsaw and the meeting took place on 5OCT38 and indeed a certain area was offered to Romania for staying neutral. The Polish wished to include Slovakia under Hungarian rule (rather Hungarian than German, I suppose). First Hungary and Poland wished to settle the issue by sending "in...

Hi, Rumor has it that Hunyadi was the bastard son of King Sigismund himself :-) (i.e. neither Hungarian nor Romanian) Maria, The 82BC picture is astounding. Comparing to that the actual extent of Roman conquest we can conclude that Rome was not able to conquer large portions of the plains. Logic dic...

Yeah

Hi, I think it was Antonescu who said that the forces of minor axis nations (whether they are at home or on the front) would mean the difference between victory and defeat against the Soviet Union. Or something to that effect. And what happened in 1942? Germans were in dire need of boots on the grou...

Hi dragos03, Population exchange is a fascinating idea. Too bad the the Hungarian government had not thought about it before 1914 :-) You say Bandholtz's text is not neutral. It is a diary so it should not be objective, it should reflect the author's private opinion. Well, he was an American general...
