Hungary until the end of World War I

The Hungarians were living a nomadic life until they moved to Carpathian Basin in 890 where they started to live a sedentery life. Because of that this period is called land holding period. Around 1000 A.D. in the time of St. Istvan Hungarians adopted Christianity and strengthened their presence in the Carpathian area. In the 14th century Hungarians encountered Turks and after the loss in the Battle Of Mohacs, Hungarian State was divided into 3 parts. Some of the land was ruled by Ottomans and some of them by Austrians. But after the Ottomans lost there power in the area, the lack of power and authority was filled by the Austrians. But the oppressive behaviour of the Austrian rule, led Hungarians to riot against them. First in the lead of İmre Thököly then Ferenc Rákóczi Hungarians rioted against Austrian rule twice but these riots did not succeed. While the effects of French Revolution were spreading really fast in Europe, nationalist ideas were getting stronger and stronger. Some of the European states were not happy with this, so in order to minimise the effects of this situation, they summoned a convention in Vienna in 1815.While Europe was shaking with nationalist movements, the Hungarians were bored of this oppressive Austrian rule and they wanted their freedom. So they rioted again in the leadership of Lajos Kossuth. As they were about to succeed the Russian aid to Austria made Hungarians to step back. After these events, Hungarians remained silent until the dual monarchy which was formed in 1867. The increase in nationalist rhetoric in foreign policy and both Germany and Italy getting powerful was scaring Austria. So in order to stay safe, Austrians offered Hungarians dual monarchy. The agreements and common interests made some blocks in Europe. Austrian occupation and annexation in Bosnia prepared the ground for the "Great War". The war started after the assassination of the Austrian Prince by a Serbian, after joined by other states to be the First World War. After the Alliance forces which included Austria lost the war and the nationalist ideas quickened the fall of dual monarchy. To discuss the situations of the losing states Paris Peace Conference was held and some treaties were signed with losing states. In this matter Treaty of Trianon was signed with Hungary. After the disintegration, Hungry lost 2/3 of her land and population. The lost lands were given to Czechoslovakia, Austria, Yugoslavia, Romania, Ukraine, Italy and Poland as a result of the treaties in the Paris Peace Conference.
