    2/3 of Hungary was given to neighbouring countries after WW1. Why?!?

    Bcs Hungary was "playing" little commies organizing their own Hungarian Soviet Republic for half a year or so until Romanians with French and Czechs finished the circus.
    So, Romania deserved then its share ;)
    Czechoslovaks became very democratic - deserved too.
    And poor Hungary (csonka Magyarorszag) had to be punished as big participant in WWI aggression as part of Austro-Hungarian Empire.
    But the main reason - those lands had just hungarian minority. So, what's gone is gone - no whining and any wrong idea about revenge. Magyars are not good solders; Huns - were, but not "soft" Magyars.
    So, enjoy the peaceful life!
