Chapter 1: The History of Hungary Encounters Hungary, a country located in Central Europe, has a culture that is markedly different from most European countries.
Throughout history, Hungary has been referred to as the "orphan of Europe" for many internal reasons as well as external circumstances. Throughout its long history, Hungary has been plagued by turmoil and disaster.
In ancient times, Hungary was ruled by the Bolgars, Byzantines, and Xiongnu on several occasions, and their culture could not be preserved due to a long period of enslavement, and they were always seen as outsiders to the region. It was not until the 13th century that Hungary completed its transformation from a nomadic to a feudal state, however, they did not escape the fate of disaster.
In the 13th century, the Mongol invasion of Hungary brought great disaster to the country. Although the Hungarians tried to resist, they ultimately failed.
This defeat has given Hungary an even greater sense of disidentification with European countries. In the midst of war and disaster, the modern Hungarian nation began to take shape.
In order to reconstruct the Hungarian language and culture, the Hungarians adopted a policy of Hungarianization. Their efforts were supported by national newspapers and other newspapers, which strengthened the Hungarian sense of self-identity.
However, after the First World War, Hungary was defeated and lost its territory, suffering from economic exploitation.
This exploitation and oppression made the Hungarians resentful and suspicious of other European countries, and their sense of independence became stronger.
The leadership of the USSR had a great influence on the national identity of the Hungarians. In the October Events of 1956 in Hungary, Hungarians opposed Soviet rule, but were suppressed by the Soviet Union.
In addition, the contradictions between Hungary and Romania and other countries have gradually intensified, and Romania's oppression of the Hungarian minority has further increased. Although Hungary became a member of the European Union, their European identity was still insufficient.
This lack of identity has left Hungary isolated in the European family.
Today, Hungary is still an orphan.
They are opposed to the EU's proposals, and tensions with Romania and other countries are intensifying. In addition, Hungary has a feud with European powers such as the United States, Britain and France, as well as contradictions with the European Union.
In modern history, Hungary has suffered from partition and exploitation, and has a lack of identification with European hegemony. As a result, Hungary continues to insist on its independence and national purity.
To sum up, Hungary has experienced many tragic experiences in its long history, which have led to a sense of disagreement with Europe. As an independent country, Hungary has an exclusionary attitude towards European culture and politics.
