Hungary rose as a nation state after the First World War, from the ashes of the Dual Monarchy. State regent and admiral without a fleet, Mikl�s Horthy, played a crucial role herein. The path to independence was far from simple for the Hungarians. Shortly after the First World War the communists staged a coup and the Entente Powers, and in particular the Pan-Europeans amongst them, tried thereafter to reinstate the Habsburg Empire.

This put Horthy, as former wing adjutant of the Austro-Hungarian monarch, in a difficult position. Horthy chose Hungary, but remained a toy of the larger powers. After 1933 it was Nazi Germany in particular that dragged Hungary into field warfare against the Soviet Union. In 1944, as the Red Army approached the borders of Hungary, Horthy was forced to change sides. The Germans struck mercilessly and brought the fascist Arrow Cross to power and persecuted the Hungarian Jews.

Hungary disappeared behind the Iron Curtain after the war, until the Pan-Europeans helped tear it down from the border city of Sopron, in 1989. Hungary returned to the womb of mother Europe, but with mixed feelings. The current politics of Hungary, under Viktor Orb�n, is still evidence of this.
