Notes

Chapter 1

1. The case of Serbian irredentism against Croatia and the ensuing violence following the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia is now generally considered something of an outlier. Looking at other potentially irredentist states—Russia (Near Abroad), Romania (Moldova), Hungary (Romania, Slovakia, Serbia), Germany (Poland, Czech Republic), Poland (Lithuania, Belarus)—we see that military intervention by kin-states is the exception, not the rule.

4. The question: “Do you think Parliament should pass a law allowing Hungarian citizenship with preferential naturalization to be granted to those, at their request, who claim to have Hungarian nationality, do not live in Hungary, and are not Hungarian citizens, and who prove their Hungarian nationality by means of a ‘Hungarian Identity Card’ issued pursuant to Article 19 of Act 62 of 2001 or in another way to be determined by a law which is to be passed?” Text found at http://www.valasztas.hu/main_en.html. A question on the priva-tization of hospitals was also on the ballot.

24. In October 1918, Mihály Károlyi was put into power after a bloodless revolu-tion to dissolve the monarchy and proclaim Hungary’s status as an independent republic. In March 1919, Károlyi was forced to resign after failing to secure favorable conditions for Hungary during the Paris Peace negotiations and the Communist regime of Béla Kun takes power. During the summer and fall of 1919, Kun’s government falls, and Admiral Horthy and his counterrevolution-ary forces enter Budapest and carry out the White Terror against “Bolsheviks.” A new conservative right government takes power in January 1920 and Horthy is made Regent of Hungary on March 1, 1920.
