I'm gonna research Hungary now, this episode made me very curious and taught me alot of things I didn't know. I think there is alot I don't know about the post WW1 Austro-Hungary region.
There was a lot of shit going down between the two world wars. Including a Hungarian Soviet Union, or Romanian Iron guards (who got later famous for skinning hunderds of jews alive - including kids as young as 7) who later despite their far right roots, became the enforcers of communist dictature in Romania. Also there was a very short lived Republic of Prekmurje, which is often seen as nothing more than a political power grab attempt. Tl;Dr shit got crazy.
In July 1849, the Hungarian Revolutionary Parliament proclaimed and enacted the first laws on ethnic and minority rights in the world. It gave minorities the freedom to use their mothertongue at local administration, at tribunals, in schools, in community life and even within the national guard of non-Magyar councils. However these laws were overturned after the united Russian and Austrian armies crushed the Hungarian Revolution. After the Kingdom of Hungary reached the Compromise with the Habsburg Dynasty in 1867, one of the first acts of its restored Parliament was to pass a Law on Nationalities (Act Number XLIV of 1868). The situation of minorities in Hungary were muchmore better than in contemporary pre WW1 Europe. Other highly multiethnic /multinational countries were: France Russia and UK. See the multi-national UK: The situation of Scottish Irish and Welsh people in "Britain" during the English hegemony is well known. They utmost forgot their original language,only English language cultural educational institutions existed. The only language was English in judiciary procedures and in offices and public administrations. It was not a real "United" Kingdom, it was rather a greater England. See the multiethnic France: In 1870, France was a similar-degree multi-ethnic state as Hungary, only 50% of the population of France spoke the French language as mothertongue. The other half of the population spoke Occitan, Catalan, Corsican, Alsatian, West Flemish, Lorraine Franconian, Gallo, Picard or Ch’timi and Arpitan etc... Many minority languages were closer to Spanish languages or Italian language than French) French governments banned minority language schools ,minority language newspapers minority theaters. They banned the usage of minority languages in offices , public administration, and judiciary procedures. The ratio of french mothertongue increased from 50% to 91% during the 1870-1910 period!!! The situation in German Empire was well known (Polish territories)
Just see the high contrast between Kingdom of Hungary and contemporary pre WW1-era Europe: Magyarization was not so harsh as the contemporary western European situation, because the minorities were defended by minority rights and laws. Contemporary Western European legal systems did not know the minority rights, therefore they loudly and proudly covered up their minorities. 1.Were there state sponsored minority schools in Western European countries? NO. 2. How many official languages existed in Western-European states? Only 1 official language! 3. Could minorities use their languages in the offices of public administration in self-governments , in tribunals in Western Europe? No, they couldn't. 4. Did the minorities have own fractions and political parties in the western European parliaments ? No, no they hadn't. 5. What about newspapers of ethnic minorities in Western Europe? They did not exist in the West.... We can continue these things to the infinity.
@@okosbarkl7809 Maybe because there wasnt literally at least 9 000 000 people that were the "minority" out of which 2 000 000 were already harassed for 1 000 years and wanted their own state because of it ? The problem was also not that they couldnt use the language officially, but that they couldnt even really use it in private as Hungarians would beat up Slovaks, Serbs and Romanians who did. The fact that they tried to take away their national identity of course made them demand their own state and everything along with it. Austro-Hungarian minorities demanded independence since 1700s this wasnt the problem in the West because those minorities did not demand their own state. And unlike Hungarians who refused to give ANY minority liberties, at least in Czechoslovakia, every minority could speak their own language (even though not at National Gathering), could publish their newspaper, could learn their language at school, could own and run shops and so on.
Bulgarians are very fond of the Magyars. We share quite similar heritage, history and destiny since 9th century. Both countries suffered terrible fates in 20th century and specifically how severe we were punished after both world wars. Greetings from Bulgaria!
Chuvash, Szekelys, Bulgarians, and Hungarians have common roots - the Oghurs, and the Huns that came before them. Eljen Magyarorszag! Da zhivei Bulgariq! Puranma Chavash En! Eljen Szekelyfold!
I live in Szeged where the heroic hussar regiment came from (6:30) and we have a statue for them. It is nice to see that this channel covers the states that made up Austria-hungary instead of just taking it as a whole.Thank you for your work guys. :D
Ádám Fehér Szeged is where my mother and father were born and raised into their late 20's, until they escaped Communism in the early 70's. I was born here in the U.S. soon after, but have been to Hungary several times and have much of my family still in Szeged, which I love. In fact, I had csirke paprikás with tarhonya for dinner tonight lol. Hungary (especially Szeged) is always in my heart (and tummy lol).
A filmben Muhr Ottmár ezredes a Császári és Királyi 9. gróf Nádasdy Ferenc Huszárezred parancsnoka szerepel. Ez az ezred soha nem állomásozott Szegeden, annál inkább Sopronban, ahol az emlékművük is áll. Tény hogy a Lemberg környéki harcokba a szegedi 3. Honvéd Huszárezred Riedl Miklós alezredes vezetésével szintén bekapcsolódott, de csak azután miután a Nádasdy huszárok elfoglalták a gerincet az oroszoktól (igen súlyos veszteségek árán) december 11-én, amikor Muhr ezredes is halálost lövést kapott.

I had two grandfathers that fought with the Hungarians. My paternal father was shot in the belly and almost died. He was sent home in 1916. My father was born in 1917. My Maternal grandfather fought at the Piave river. Both grandparents survived.
@Obergruppenstuppentruppensturmfuhrer SuperStuka I don't know what you are talking about. I don't think Serbia could defeat Hungary 1v1. I don't think Hungary could defeat Serbia 1v1.
@Milán Dobai AH empire with 54 million people attacked Serbia with 3.6 million people. You call that honorable? There were only 2 fronts in 1918, and you lost against 60,000 barefoot Serbian soldiers. Btw, my name is Milan too. How Hungarian are you actually?
@Milán Dobai Of course you lost against Serbians in 1918. This is how the war ended, the Serbs breached the Macedonian front. Got from Thessaloniki to Vienna in less than 4 months. Read about it.
Captain, Poland only regained it's independence, it wasn't new at all, while Finland was never an independent country before WW1 (do correct me if I'm wrong).
Wasnt Finland born around the times of the Napoleonic Wars? granted, it was never independent until 1917, but as a political entity? Finland did exist, did it not? as far as i know finland was taken from sweden by russia and within russia it was AUTONOMOUS! so it was a political entity!
Kurtownia Actually the Tsar of Russia had established Finland as a Grand Duchy and adopted the separate title of Grand Duke of Finland. I believe it also had it's own Parliament and Ministry as well although in reality it was the Governor-General appointed from Moscow who held real political power within the region.
Finland was an integrated part of Sweden from 1249 to 1809. It became a Swedish Grand Dutchy (Storfurstendöme) already in 1500. After the Treaty of Fredrikshamn in 1809, it became an autonomous entity within the Russian Empire with its own laws, court system, religion and languages (Finnish and Swedish).
Thanks for this one guys! Hungary at the time of WW1 has always been difficult to research about for me, and it was great to learn a bit more about my Fiancé's country's history. (obviously while wearing my Great War socks!) Thanks again!
You forgot to mentinon the Austro-Hungarian Navy, which was the 6th largest fleet of the world at that time, and also part Hungarian, led by a Hungarian admiral called Miklos Horthy, who later became the regent of Hungary. Also worth mentioning: 1913 Vienna. A magical place and year, when Franz Joseph, Hitler, Stalin, Trotsky, Tito, Horthy were all living in Vienna within a few km radius circle. Plus Istvan Tisza was murdered by freemasons, ~ half of the Károlyi administration members were freemasons, and guess what : Gavrilo Princip was a freemason too.
Uhh... I don't think Indy would cover the Freemason part of what you've said. And never has been covered by him throughout his channel regarding its role in WW1
It might be interesting, but also a difficult topic to cover in that the uniforms varied wildly at the start of the war before suddenly becoming standardized as copies of the German feldgrau - and this in my mind kind of boring.
Then why bother doing uniform specials at all if you're going to leave someone out? Besides the Austro-Hungarians had quite probably the best looking uniforms of any combatant imo
Oh boy, oh boy. Been waiting for this episode since I started following this channel in November 2014, been a loyal fan since. About a map at 8:42. I once bought a fridge magnet shaped as Hungary as a souvenir from lake Balaton while getting strange looks from the lady selling them. When I got home I saw why, it was a greater Hungary map with Slavonia and parts of territory of other Hungarian neighbors. I guess cards played very unfavorably for Hungary at the end.
Even today many (most?) of the magnets that you find in souvenir shops in Budapest depict the pre-Trianon "Greater Hungary." And when we were last there in 2019 there was a large protest against the Treaty of Trianon!
Thanks for uploading this! My great grandfather and his two brothers fought in the Hungarian Army, and served as photographers, before deserting towards the end of the war, and fleeing to America. This was great to watch!
The Great War Unfortunately, I don't know. I know that my great grandfather's name was Franz-Ladislaus Huszar, so if you search the archives, you might find something. I don't have any of his photos with me at the moment, I'm sorry to say...
Yeah! At last you made it! I have been waiting for this episode since i am following the channel, so thanks for this impressive and very good work. ( I will not feel myself jelous anymore to other nations who have own special episodes, so thanks again :) )
I am a simple Romanian, I see Hungary I see a friend, a neighbor and an allied ! All of you who don't seem to be friendly with each other, please, ignore this comment!
I started watching these a month ago, it has been quite an incredible journey and to think there's a year more to come makes me so excited! Huge props to you and the whole team for working on such an enormous project.
Hi Indy, thank you for this episode! From the comments below I guess you get basic idea how the treaty of Trianon "resolved" the Hungarian issue. One remark to Tisza - during the war, he became quite determined to continue fighting till the victory is achieved and that made many people see him as scapegoat for the heavy casualties.
Thanks for the video! Nicely done! I had one great-grandfather severly wounded at the Isonzo, and one captured POW will the end of the war. Isonzo/Doberdo is a word(s) almost all Hungarians know, as a place of tremendous sacrifice and suffering.
He was murdered by returning soldiers from the front. It is odd that he had accepted the immediate demobilization demanded by the Entente. He was the son of Kálmán Tisza, who played an extremely important role in pre-war politics. What followed after Tisza's murder, however, is a complete disaster. And also a perfect example of Hungarian incompetence.
Thanks for this @TheGreatWar; have been reading Paul Ignotus's "Hungary" from 1972 (one of the bibliographical recommendations from B Anderson's Imagined Communities) and this really helped flesh out the War Years a little. As per p137 of that book, it seems most people did not know of Tisza's initial trepidations about the war and "subsequently he was considered the last-ditcher of the Central powers".
Salut from Serbia to our northern neighbors. Although throughout the history we were often on the opposite side of the battlefield {except during Otoman Empire} - we are very fond of Hungarian minority in Vojvodina and also of our neighbors in Magyarorszag.
Really great episode! I am very glad with how smoothly you included so much information into such a short documentary video. I am still patiently waiting to hear more about Croatia, even though my expectations are not high since it did not play such an incredible role in the Great War which is the primary focus of the channel. For now, I am more than glad with that atleast Broz Tito was mentioned. It is both saddening and great that only about a year is left before these great episodes conclude and the main story unfolds and eventually dies. Saddening, since this would mean no more episodes from one of my favorite channels, but great since, in a more historical context, the unjustified and unneccessary butchering of millions is soon to end. Good luck, and thank you!
The Great War, you are doing such an amazing job here spreading knowlage, I enjoy it immenslely, I'm actually from Croatia( ex.A-H. empire) and if you find a little time to talk about it and other balkan states in the ex A-H. empire you would make my day :) . All the best wishes!
I hope once you've finished with the Great War you'll basically do the same thing back for a different conflict/political crisis. Thank you so much for giving us such a high quality channel!
I mean this Channel's coverage of the various parts of the AH empire will turn into a Bohemian rapsody. An assasination followed by thunderbolt and lightning.
I bet the comments will be a mud throwing contest between Hungarian and Romanian extreme nationalists. But I say, I raise a glass of Romanian wine for our Hungarian brethren, to a prosperous future together, a brotherhood born in the winters of Stalingrad and the darkness of Communism.
An alliance would get us further. Strong anti-Hungarian and anti-Romanian propaganda from the sides. I can't see such a cooperation coming into existence in the near future. But hey, that would get both of us out of this hellhole! We can't possibly have that!
Thank you friend, at nights I always try to dream about our nations working together, without this unspeakable level of hatered what is emerging from both side's far right movements. One day.... *raises glass in Hungarian*
Yes-yes, when the romanian army ceded their positions in Moldova and left everything for the hungarian Árpád Line, to fend off the soviets. 'Till, that brotherhood take away thousand of székelys in the Ceacescu regime.
Indy and crew: great show! Interesting thing: I was born and lived for 20 years like 15 minutes drive from the Limanowa and yet I've never heard about the battle that took place there... Maybe you could prepare a special about the battle of Limanowa?
Hungary lost a ridiculous amount of territory while Hungary haven't even start the war. As you said, Hungary lost 60% of its population. 3.3 million of them were hungarians. Trianon was unjust because the Little Entente haven't only take the mostly not-hungarian inhabited lands but also lands where Hungarians were the majority. And also how did Austria gain land from Hungary if they were the losers of the war too? Basically, they started the war. Hungary had those territories for 900 years and then take them away like this is very frustrating.
jeszimate As far as I know all territories that were part of the empire were restitued/gain their country. Hungarians bsing 60 years part of the Austrian Empire in equal status - when you say Empire it is multicultural by definition - like ottoman empire it broke into its cultural pieces to form homogenous nations. By the same rationality you provide Hungary as once under Turkish rule should still be the part pf the Turkiah state. Those two conglomerates mentioned above crumbled when a nationalist awakening hit Europe.
At the treaty no matter how good hungarian politicians argued the borders were not drawn at the edge of ethnical territories, so MANY hungarians got stuck outside of the borders. And the ironically funny thing is that Austria got territory from Hungary after dragging Hungary into war.
Károlyi Mihály is the greatest traitor in Hungarian history. His decision to disband the remaining standing army returning to Budapest after the war made defence against the Romanians and other opportunists impossible.
+ OP A faszt helyezte róma hatalma alá. Éppen elenkezőleg! Megszabadult a Német-Római birodalom hatalmátol. Igen tényleg milliókat ölt meg. De legyünk kurva őszínték.

Thank you for speaking truthfully and supportively about the Hungarian perspective of the war. It was never in our interest to go into war but we still lost a massive chunk of our lands and there are millions stuck outside Hungarian borders still to this day. We lost our power in the war against the Ottomans and we never got it back but at least one positive can be said about all this, we got our long waited independence. I only wish our countrymen from regions taken away were given the opportunity to move easily.
Nobody stops them to move though. Between Hungary and Slovakia there is no border to begin with. Soon, there will be none between Hungary and Romania too.
8:48 Impressive and unbelievable statistics about Hungarian losses. Now one can understand the hot fights in some comments here between Hungarians and Romanians. It is complicated, both think they are the correct side about the fairness/unfairness of their fates after the war.
As a hungarian, my humble opinion is that Hungary as a loser of the war deserved some border limitations /croatia, northernmost slovakia etc./ where no hungarians lived. the problem is that too many land was taken away with still pure hungarian ethninity despite the ethnic segregation in the little entente countries. We deserved punishment, but not THIS much
Kónya Márton i get your point, but Im Romanian from transylvania, my great great grandfather fought for Austria-Hungary, but to give the small part of transylvania that had majority Hungarians, would mean creating a enlave in Romania surrounded by Romanians, this would be bad for mainy the Hungarians as it could have easily been swallowed up by Romania or at best the Romanians would deny transportation between the two countries or stop Hungarian good from entering which has the right to do as a sovergn nation, this would mean all the Hungarians in that region would starve to death and if Hungary declared war then Romania could have annexed the Sezleky land regardless and It would have been all Hungarys fault. I think the only way Hungary could have kept more of its land is if it was right by hungary.
silvioevan11 The "funny" part is that czechs dominated slovakians,and serbians dominated the croatians afer the war. Was it rightful? Did the winners made peace? Most of the separated nations didn't live in peace. They get their freedom cca. 70 years later.(serbian-croatian war 1991) The main reason of this separation was to weaken the empire(it is ok)...not to be fair with the "molded" nations. BTW I am from hungary. In my point of view this reason is funny....from the mouth of an englishman. They ruled africa..and what about Great Britain?! :)
Just imagine...one day, youre living in an empire, the next day you belong to a totally different state. The man who marked the new borderlines was mentally challanged or drunk. There are still many many hungarians in south Slovakia after 100 years. They been trapped here and have to belong to a state which hates them...not a bright future.
It was mostly because of the railway lines. There was a big railway line in south slovakia, that were able to move troops really quickly in that area, so the Entente wanted that to be part of their new ally.
was reading a book by a gypsy holocaust survivor years ago. i forget the exact sequence but it went something like this; born in austria hungary, went to 1st couple grades in hungary, graduated elementary school in poland, went to high school in germany, returned home in romania. other than being taken to death camp, never left home village (in other words, the area changed hands that many times).
Oliver Toronyi only three counties in the middle of romania have a hungarian majority. an they are surrounded by ccounties with romanian majority. what is unfair in this matter?
Question for Out of the Trenches; What were the British and French reaction to becoming allies during the war. They were traditionally enemies and now they had to fight side by side with each other. Surely there had to be some animosity between them. Keep up the amazing work 👍🏻
+LymanAbraxas it's Hungarian. Have you seen how hard it is? I mean for outsiders it's a random amalgamation of letters. No frame of reference whatsoever.
I know. I'm a Hungarian. I doesen't even know every bits and pieces of our own grammar fully well. Its just funny how foreigners sweating blood while they try to pronounce most of Hungarian names of cities or famous persons or landmarks. In the Warhammer world in nottingham the crew just make a contest about who is the first to pronounce my home city name first XD. That was hilarious. Hajdúböszörmény is easy to pronounce like most of Welsh cities :D. Keep up the good work guys! I enjoyed every single one of its episodes.
I don't think it was so bad. The pronunciation of "ly" in Mihály, Károly etc is pronounced like the first y in royalty. The "Miskolci","Istvan", "Budapest" was almost good but this "s" is pronounced more like "sh" in english. Tisza was good but not the Szegedi you have to use the same as in Tisza (normal "s" in english) Also in Honvéd (means Homedefender) the "véd" part is pronounced like the "Wade" enlish word.
Splitting up Austria-Hungary left ALL of the now smaller nations more vulnerable to the Russians and the Communists. After WW1 & WW2. They were better off, as one nation. Surely, they could have come to some sort of agreement, for their own safety and freedom. It was because of the injustice of the Treaty of Trianon that we had WW2.
I am a big fan of your channel, thank you for this video from Hungary! :) "Boszniának hegyei, a fekete kövei, az magyar királyé. Mégis az a Szerbia, az a kutya Szerbia el akarja venni. Megállj, megállj kutya Szerbia! Nem lesz tiéd soha Bosznia! Mert a magyar nem enged, míg a vére megered, bármennyit is szenved..." (Magyar katonanóta 1914)
bálint várady my father served in that regiment,is mentioned in the book written of that unit,page 288 I believe.His picture,at the end of the book appears as well.
Dear The Great War i am doing a project at school about the western front i'm a big fan. I was hoping to get you involved as we watched your video about the Christmas Truce, after me and my friend asked the teacher to put it on i am a huge fan and i would love for you to get involved in some way. Thank You :)
Well in english that has a certain association, with mercanaries ravaging and pillaging the land in rural areas. Hadvezér (in hungarian) is a generic term for referring to the top military leader(ship). And its a word that is made by gluing together had(=army), vezér(~lord, but it also indicates that he is directly involved not back at home, dealing with his own stuff). Thus google translate would probably give you warlord, and hilariousness ensues.
have yall ever considerd reviewing world war 1 books like all is quiet on the western front or giving a quick overview on different history books about world war one i think episodes like that would be a great addition to your show
Excellent episode. Now, I am very tempted to say something like "Transylvania belongs to Hungary" or "Hungarians are Hunnified Dacians", but let's leave it at that.
I wonder what it must have been like, being one of the people who opposed ever starting the war, seeing your worst fears not only come to pass, but be utterly crushed by the even more brutal reality.

Being a Canadian with both parents from Hungary, I found this quite interesting. "Lest we forget" Remembrance day 2018.
I had two grandfathers that fought with the Hungarians. My paternal father was shot in the belly and almost died. He was sent home in 1916. My father was born in 1917. My Maternal grandfather fought at the Piave river. Both grandparents survived.

The mighty Magyar who couldn't defeat the barefoot Serbian army and had to wait for Bulgaria to strike in the rear? Might indeed.
@Obergruppenstuppentruppensturmfuhrer SuperStuka I don't know what you are talking about. I don't think Serbia could defeat Hungary 1v1. I don't think Hungary could defeat Serbia 1v1.
@Milán Dobai AH empire with 54 million people attacked Serbia with 3.6 million people. You call that honorable? There were only 2 fronts in 1918, and you lost against 60,000 barefoot Serbian soldiers. Btw, my name is Milan too. How Hungarian are you actually?
@Milán Dobai Of course you lost against Serbians in 1918. This is how the war ended, the Serbs breached the Macedonian front. Got from Thessaloniki to Vienna in less than 4 months. Read about it.
* Milan is a Slavic name. It exists in Czechia too.

Greetings to Hungary from their brothers in faith - Bulgaria :)
Only 11 months left until Finland is born! I think it was the first new nation to emerge out of the war (which was still ongoing).
Captain, Poland only regained it's independence, it wasn't new at all, while Finland was never an independent country before WW1 (do correct me if I'm wrong).
Wasnt Finland born around the times of the Napoleonic Wars? granted, it was never independent until 1917, but as a political entity? Finland did exist, did it not? as far as i know finland was taken from sweden by russia and within russia it was AUTONOMOUS! so it was a political entity!
Kurtownia Actually the Tsar of Russia had established Finland as a Grand Duchy and adopted the separate title of Grand Duke of Finland. I believe it also had it's own Parliament and Ministry as well although in reality it was the Governor-General appointed from Moscow who held real political power within the region.
Finland was an integrated part of Sweden from 1249 to 1809. It became a Swedish Grand Dutchy (Storfurstendöme) already in 1500. After the Treaty of Fredrikshamn in 1809, it became an autonomous entity within the Russian Empire with its own laws, court system, religion and languages (Finnish and Swedish).
I guess you can call it that, but Finns were very loyal to the Czar until he started the Russification periods in the Grand Duchy.
Thanks for this one guys! Hungary at the time of WW1 has always been difficult to research about for me, and it was great to learn a bit more about my Fiancé's country's history. (obviously while wearing my Great War socks!) Thanks again!
It's definitely a challenge to cover these lesser known parts (at least for the English speaking world). Glad you enjoyed it.
I found this channel just a few weeks ago and it's better than anything I've seen on History Channel in almost a decade. Thank you all.
Welcome to the show.
You forgot to mentinon the Austro-Hungarian Navy, which was the 6th largest fleet of the world at that time, and also part Hungarian, led by a Hungarian admiral called Miklos Horthy, who later became the regent of Hungary.
Also worth mentioning: 1913 Vienna. A magical place and year, when Franz Joseph, Hitler, Stalin, Trotsky, Tito, Horthy were all living in Vienna within a few km radius circle. Plus Istvan Tisza was murdered by freemasons, ~ half of the Károlyi administration members were freemasons, and guess what : Gavrilo Princip was a freemason too.
Uhh... I don't think Indy would cover the Freemason part of what you've said. And never has been covered by him throughout his channel regarding its role in WW1
No better _Honvéd_ than _Ferenc Puskás'_ one! Eternal thanks, coach!!
LOL WTF.

We need Austro-Hungarian uniforms special episode
I want a belgian one. I mean come on people, they had top hats. TOP. HATS.
Attila Rischt pretty fly for a global industrial war
Attila Rischt dun dun dunnn dun
It might be interesting, but also a difficult topic to cover in that the uniforms varied wildly at the start of the war before suddenly becoming standardized as copies of the German feldgrau - and this in my mind kind of boring.
Then why bother doing uniform specials at all if you're going to leave someone out? Besides the Austro-Hungarians had quite probably the best looking uniforms of any combatant imo
Oh boy, oh boy.
Been waiting for this episode since I started following this channel in November 2014, been a loyal fan since.
About a map at 8:42. I once bought a fridge magnet shaped as Hungary as a souvenir from lake Balaton while getting strange looks from the lady selling them. When I got home I saw why, it was a greater Hungary map with Slavonia and parts of territory of other Hungarian neighbors. I guess cards played very unfavorably for Hungary at the end.
Even today many (most?) of the magnets that you find in souvenir shops in Budapest depict the pre-Trianon "Greater Hungary." And when we were last there in 2019 there was a large protest against the Treaty of Trianon!
budapest is a beautiful city, and the goulash is outta this world!
agreed.
Thanks for uploading this! My great grandfather and his two brothers fought in the Hungarian Army, and served as photographers, before deserting towards the end of the war, and fleeing to America. This was great to watch!
Are any of their photos still available?
The Great War
Unfortunately, I don't know. I know that my great grandfather's name was Franz-Ladislaus Huszar, so if you search the archives, you might find something. I don't have any of his photos with me at the moment, I'm sorry to say...
So he changed his name to the English version of "huszár" when he reached America? That's a badass last name either way lol
Miklós Nagy
Thank you so much!
Stev Hussar im sorry to hear that, wish you could be proud of them instead:)
Thanks for making this video. I've been waiting for it since I found your channel :)
My heart flutters. Nobody ever recognizes Hungary.
+Vypr should have called it Hungarian-Austro Empire.
The Great War yes!
a terrible thing, Hungary has an incredibly unique and fascinating history. Though I may be biased my mothers side is Hungarian lol
Yeah! At last you made it! I have been waiting for this episode since i am following the channel, so thanks for this impressive and very good work. ( I will not feel myself jelous anymore to other nations who have own special episodes, so thanks again :) )
It was lovely to hear about my Homeland (ohh, the pronounciation :D ), thank you for the effort!
beautiful photos paintings in illustrations in this episode. Great job!
Thanks for producing such a great series. Enjoy watching very much!
I am a simple Romanian, I see Hungary I see a friend, a neighbor and an allied ! All of you who don't seem to be friendly with each other, please, ignore this comment!
It is no harm in being personal friends but if you know your history then you understand the wearing about Rumanians
I started watching these a month ago, it has been quite an incredible journey and to think there's a year more to come makes me so excited! Huge props to you and the whole team for working on such an enormous project.
"Russian regiments tried to retake the hill a total of 15 times unsuccessfully" and Cadorna was not leading them!
Maybe its because all KuK troops weren't the joke everyone likes to think they were ;)
You'd think you'd just give up after attempt 10
I've been hungering for this episode for quite a while. Great job Indy and Team!
Hi Indy, thank you for this episode! From the comments below I guess you get basic idea how the treaty of Trianon "resolved" the Hungarian issue. One remark to Tisza - during the war, he became quite determined to continue fighting till the victory is achieved and that made many people see him as scapegoat for the heavy casualties.
yeah, these treaties back then were really good at solving things.
Thanks for doing this and everything else on Magyar history.
Amazing and informative as always!
Thanks for the video! Nicely done!
I had one great-grandfather severly wounded at the Isonzo, and one captured POW will the end of the war.
Isonzo/Doberdo is a word(s) almost all Hungarians know, as a place of tremendous sacrifice and suffering.
Could we have a Who Did What on WWI about Tisza? He sounds kinda important.
Lucciano Bartolini He was indeed a key figure!
I agree. That would be an interesting episode, especially the story of his death.
Maybe in the future.
The Great War Thank you.
He was murdered by returning soldiers from the front. It is odd that he had accepted the immediate demobilization demanded by the Entente. He was the son of Kálmán Tisza, who played an extremely important role in pre-war politics. What followed after Tisza's murder, however, is a complete disaster. And also a perfect example of Hungarian incompetence.
Thanks for this @TheGreatWar; have been reading Paul Ignotus's "Hungary" from 1972 (one of the bibliographical recommendations from B Anderson's Imagined Communities) and this really helped flesh out the War Years a little. As per p137 of that book, it seems most people did not know of Tisza's initial trepidations about the war and "subsequently he was considered the last-ditcher of the Central powers".
AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
Nope. That's Poland's business.
Actually Poland took the idea of hussars (early version) from Hungary :P At the biggining hussars were light cavalry based on Ottoman units
Come on this worked in the cob 6 reveal trailer D: but lol I heard the unit name and was like Yesssss

Best RUclips channel
Yes, yes, yes and yes. I waited this episode for 3 years.
Really great episode! I am very glad with how smoothly you included so much information into such a short documentary video. I am still patiently waiting to hear more about Croatia, even though my expectations are not high since it did not play such an incredible role in the Great War which is the primary focus of the channel. For now, I am more than glad with that atleast Broz Tito was mentioned.
It is both saddening and great that only about a year is left before these great episodes conclude and the main story unfolds and eventually dies. Saddening, since this would mean no more episodes from one of my favorite channels, but great since, in a more historical context, the unjustified and unneccessary butchering of millions is soon to end.
Good luck, and thank you!
I really appreciate the fact that many of your videos are almost or exactly 10 minutes long.
The Great War, you are doing such an amazing job here spreading knowlage, I enjoy it immenslely, I'm actually from Croatia( ex.A-H. empire) and if you find a little time to talk about it and other balkan states in the ex A-H. empire you would make my day :) . All the best wishes!

I reckon this will turn into a Bohemian rapsody..
That is Czech, not Hungarian.
I mean this Channel's coverage of the various parts of the AH empire will turn into a Bohemian rapsody. An assasination followed by thunderbolt and lightning.
Ah, you refer to Queen's song, not to the classical piece. Pardon.
I bet the comments will be a mud throwing contest between Hungarian and Romanian extreme nationalists.
But I say, I raise a glass of Romanian wine for our Hungarian brethren, to a prosperous future together, a brotherhood born in the winters of Stalingrad and the darkness of Communism.
*raises glass in Hungarian*
An alliance would get us further. Strong anti-Hungarian and anti-Romanian propaganda from the sides. I can't see such a cooperation coming into existence in the near future. But hey, that would get both of us out of this hellhole! We can't possibly have that!
Thank you friend, at nights I always try to dream about our nations working together, without this unspeakable level of hatered what is emerging from both side's far right movements. One day....
*raises glass in Hungarian*
Yep we should live in peace, hopefully we will resolve our differences one day.
Yes-yes, when the romanian army ceded their positions in Moldova and left everything for the hungarian Árpád Line, to fend off the soviets. 'Till, that brotherhood take away thousand of székelys in the Ceacescu regime.

Trianon is the definition of injustice.
+jeszimate why?
Hungary lost a ridiculous amount of territory while Hungary haven't even start the war. As you said, Hungary lost 60% of its population. 3.3 million of them were hungarians. Trianon was unjust because the Little Entente haven't only take the mostly not-hungarian inhabited lands but also lands where Hungarians were the majority. And also how did Austria gain land from Hungary if they were the losers of the war too? Basically, they started the war. Hungary had those territories for 900 years and then take them away like this is very frustrating.
It's the reason why ~30% of all ethnic Hungarians got stuck outside their own country, which kind of exposes the hypocrisy of the Entente leaders.
jeszimate As far as I know all territories that were part of the empire were restitued/gain their country. Hungarians bsing 60 years part of the Austrian Empire in equal status - when you say Empire it is multicultural by definition - like ottoman empire it broke into its cultural pieces to form homogenous nations. By the same rationality you provide Hungary as once under Turkish rule should still be the part pf the Turkiah state. Those two conglomerates mentioned above crumbled when a nationalist awakening hit Europe.
At the treaty no matter how good hungarian politicians argued the borders were not drawn at the edge of ethnical territories, so MANY hungarians got stuck outside of the borders. And the ironically funny thing is that Austria got territory from Hungary after dragging Hungary into war.
Károlyi Mihály is the greatest traitor in Hungarian history. His decision to disband the remaining standing army returning to Budapest after the war made defence against the Romanians and other opportunists impossible.
"Szent" Istvánnál nagyobb áruló nincs a magyar történelemben.

A faszt helyezte róma hatalma alá. Éppen elenkezőleg! Megszabadult a Német-Római birodalom hatalmátol. Igen tényleg milliókat ölt meg. De legyünk kurva őszínték.

Thank you for speaking truthfully and supportively about the Hungarian perspective of the war. It was never in our interest to go into war but we still lost a massive chunk of our lands and there are millions stuck outside Hungarian borders still to this day. We lost our power in the war against the Ottomans and we never got it back but at least one positive can be said about all this, we got our long waited independence. I only wish our countrymen from regions taken away were given the opportunity to move easily.
Nobody stops them to move though. Between Hungary and Slovakia there is no border to begin with. Soon, there will be none between Hungary and Romania too.
8:48 Impressive and unbelievable statistics about Hungarian losses. Now one can understand the hot fights in some comments here between Hungarians and Romanians. It is complicated, both think they are the correct side about the fairness/unfairness of their fates after the war.
As a hungarian, my humble opinion is that Hungary as a loser of the war deserved some border limitations /croatia, northernmost slovakia etc./ where no hungarians lived. the problem is that too many land was taken away with still pure hungarian ethninity despite the ethnic segregation in the little entente countries. We deserved punishment, but not THIS much
Kónya Márton like germany
Kónya Márton i get your point, but Im Romanian from transylvania, my great great grandfather fought for Austria-Hungary, but to give the small part of transylvania that had majority Hungarians, would mean creating a enlave in Romania surrounded by Romanians, this would be bad for mainy the Hungarians as it could have easily been swallowed up by Romania or at best the Romanians would deny transportation between the two countries or stop Hungarian good from entering which has the right to do as a sovergn nation, this would mean all the Hungarians in that region would starve to death and if Hungary declared war then Romania could have annexed the Sezleky land regardless and It would have been all Hungarys fault. I think the only way Hungary could have kept more of its land is if it was right by hungary.
silvioevan11 The "funny" part is that czechs dominated slovakians,and serbians dominated the croatians afer the war.
Was it rightful? Did the winners made peace?
Most of the separated nations didn't live in peace. They get their freedom cca. 70 years later.(serbian-croatian war 1991)
The main reason of this separation was to weaken the empire(it is ok)...not to be fair with the "molded" nations.
BTW I am from hungary.
In my point of view this reason is funny....from the mouth of an englishman. They ruled africa..and what about Great Britain?! :)
***** The map shows, that your government claimed that territory.
Purple is what romanians claimed,etc.
Thank you for making this episode, and special thanks to Indy for trying to pronounce the names! :) You have great potential, Sir!

Bacsó Ábel ilyenkor jó érzés h nem csak én nézek külföldi videósokat :D
Just imagine...one day, youre living in an empire, the next day you belong to a totally different state. The man who marked the new borderlines was mentally challanged or drunk. There are still many many hungarians in south Slovakia after 100 years. They been trapped here and have to belong to a state which hates them...not a bright future.
Oliver Toronyi Blame the british for that.
It was mostly because of the railway lines. There was a big railway line in south slovakia, that were able to move troops really quickly in that area, so the Entente wanted that to be part of their new ally.
jozepska They only cared about the tactical forms not the etnic or cultural ones.
was reading a book by a gypsy holocaust survivor years ago. i forget the exact sequence but it went something like this; born in austria hungary, went to 1st couple grades in hungary, graduated elementary school in poland, went to high school in germany, returned home in romania. other than being taken to death camp, never left home village (in other words, the area changed hands that many times).
Oliver Toronyi only three counties in the middle of romania have a hungarian majority. an they are surrounded by ccounties with romanian majority. what is unfair in this matter?

Great episode on Hungary. Thank you for a very interesting video.
Indy you butchered the hungarian language horribly.
But dont worry, we still like you a lot.
+LymanAbraxas it's Hungarian. Have you seen how hard it is? I mean for outsiders it's a random amalgamation of letters. No frame of reference whatsoever.
I know. I'm a Hungarian. I doesen't even know every bits and pieces of our own grammar fully well.
Its just funny how foreigners sweating blood while they try to pronounce most of Hungarian names of cities or famous persons or landmarks.
In the Warhammer world in nottingham the crew just make a contest about who is the first to pronounce my home city name first XD. That was hilarious.
Hajdúböszörmény is easy to pronounce like most of Welsh cities :D.
Keep up the good work guys! I enjoyed every single one of its episodes.
Hungarian has a difficult grammar, but pronounciation is easy
I don't think it was so bad.
The pronunciation of "ly" in Mihály, Károly etc is pronounced like the first y in royalty.
The "Miskolci","Istvan", "Budapest" was almost good but this "s" is pronounced more like "sh" in english.
Tisza was good but not the Szegedi you have to use the same as in Tisza (normal "s" in english)
Also in Honvéd (means Homedefender) the "véd" part is pronounced like the "Wade" enlish word.
Well....that's quite true. Until you open a glass of wine.
greetings and respect from Albania.
Splitting up Austria-Hungary left ALL of the now smaller nations more vulnerable to the Russians and the Communists. After WW1 & WW2. They were better off, as one nation. Surely, they could have come to some sort of agreement, for their own safety and freedom. It was because of the injustice of the Treaty of Trianon that we had WW2.
And the injustice of the treaty of versailles?

One day, I'd like to be known as "Supreme Warlord".
Well in english that has a certain association, with mercanaries ravaging and pillaging the land in rural areas.
Hadvezér (in hungarian) is a generic term for referring to the top military leader(ship).
And its a word that is made by gluing together had(=army), vezér(~lord, but it also indicates that he is directly involved not back at home, dealing with his own stuff).
Thus google translate would probably give you warlord, and hilariousness ensues.
have yall ever considerd reviewing world war 1 books like all is quiet on the western front or giving a quick overview on different history books about world war one i think episodes like that would be a great addition to your show
Gonna be waiting on that Croatia and Slovenia video :D
