^    The Roman provinces of Pannonia and Dacia, conquered under Tiberius and Trajan (1st century A.D.), embraced part of what was to become Hungary. The Huns 
and later the Ostrogoths and the Avars settled there for brief periods. In the late 9th century the Magyars, a Finno-Ugric people from beyond the Urals, 
conquered most of Hungary, Transylvania & merged with the earlier settlers. The semi legendary leader, Arpad, founded their first dynasty. The kingdom barely 
escaped complete annihilation from Mongols, who defeated the Hungarian King Bela at Muhi (1241), and occupied the country for a year before moving on. 
Under King Louis I (Louis the Great), Hungary reached its greatest territorial extension, with power extending into Dalmatia, the Balkans, and Poland. In 
the following centuries after the death of Louis I, the Turks began to advance through the Balkans, defeating the Hungarians and their allies. John Hunyadi, 
acting as regent gave Hungary a brief respite through his victory at Belgrade (1456). The reign of Hunyadi's son, Matthias Corvinus (1458), was 
a glorious period in Hungarian history. Matthias maintained a splendid court at Buda, kept the magnates subject to royal authority, and improved the central 
administration. In 1526 disaster struck the Hungarians as Louis II was defeated and killed at the battle of Mohcs, by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent of the 
Turks. For the next 150 years the Ottomans dominated Hungary. In 1683 the Turks were routed by Polish King John Sobieski as they lay siege to Vienna.  
The Europeans united against the Turks and turned the tide, forcing the Turks to cede most of Hungary proper and Transylvania to Austria.
^    The Austrian Hapsburg rule was uneasy as they brought in Germans and Slavs to settle the newly freed territory, destroying Hungary's ethnic homogeneity. In 
the second quarter of the 19th century a movement that combined Hungarian nationalism with constitutional liberalism gained strength. Inspired by the French 
Revolution, the Hungarian diet passed the March Laws (1848), which established a liberal constitutional monarchy for Hungary under the Hapsburgs. 
But the reforms did not deal with the national minorities problem. Several minority groups revolted, and the Austrians waged war against Hungary.

^    In 1849, Hungary declared independence from Austria. Russian troops however came to the aid of the Austrian Emperor, and the republic collapsed. 
Compromise was finally reached in 1867 and a Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was created, in which Austria and Hungary were nearly equal partners. 
Austria-Hungary entered WWI on the side of the Central Powers, bringing an end and a dismantling of the Empire. The Treaty of Trianon signed 
in 1920, reduced the size and population of Hungary by about two thirds, depriving Hungary of valuable natural resources and removing virtually all 
non-Magyar areas, although Budapest retained a large German-speaking population. The next twenty-five years saw continual attempts by the Magyar 
government to recover the lost territories. Between 1938 and 1944, Hungary regained, with the aid of Germany and Italy, territories from Czechoslovakia, 
Yugoslavia, and Romania. It declared war on the USSR.  When the Hungarian government took steps to withdraw from the war and protect its Jewish 
population, German troops occupied the country. The Germans were driven out by Soviet forces. National elections were held in and a republican 
constitution was adopted in 1946. The peace treaty signed at Paris in 1947 restored the bulk of the Trianon boundaries. Early in 1948 the Communists gained 
full control of the state. Hungary was proclaimed a People's Republic. Radical purges in the national Communist party made it thoroughly subservient to that 
of the USSR. In 1955, Hungary joined the Warsaw Treaty Organization and was admitted to the United Nations. Nearly 45 years later, in 1990 Hungary became a 
democratic nation with a multiparty political system. The Soviet military presence in Hungary ended in the summer of 1991 with the departure of the final Soviet troops.
