This defines the imagined futures of our fellow Hungarians

And of course, from time to time Hungarians have invented their own equivalent of the Klan.

They couldn't hold up against the combined forces of the Bulgarians, the Austro Hungarians, and the Germans.

It's not a typical mindset for most Americans, but it is perforce typical of virtually all Hungarians.

Or I guess, for the Austro Hungarians, that was, I guess now, one region that they annexed.

In the last video, we talked about how the Serbians were able to hold back the Austro Hungarians at the beginning of World War I.

But now in 1908 it was already being occupied a significant state that would be part of a potential future Yugoslav, was now formally annexed by the Austro Hungarians.

Austrians, or the austro hungarians I should say, and so in 1879, they sign the Dual Alliance Treaty between Germany and Austria Hungary to protect each other if Russia attacks.

Austro hungarians, these are monarchies, these are, emperors were controlling it, and even though the UK, the United Kingdom was nominally a kingdom it was really a democracy, at least for those who could vote, we're not talking about the entire British Empire.

Jó napot, pacák Which, as somebody here must surely know, means What's up, guys? in Magyar, that peculiar non Indo European language spoken by Hungarians for which, given the fact that cognitive diversity is at least as threatened as biodiversity on this planet, few would have imagined much of a future even a century or two ago.

I said somebody here must surely know, because despite the fact that there aren't that many Hungarians to begin with, and the further fact that, so far as I know, there's not a drop of Hungarian blood in my veins, at every critical juncture of my life there has been a Hungarian friend or mentor there beside me.
