Hungary Between Two Empires 1526–1711
Author: Géza Pálffy
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253054648
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
The Hungarian defeat to the Ottoman army at the pivotal Battle of Mohács in 1526 led to the division of the Kingdom of Hungary into three parts, altering both the shape and the ethnic composition of Central Europe for centuries to come. Hungary thus became a battleground between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires. In this sweeping historical survey, Géza Pálffy takes readers through a crucial period of upheaval and revolution in Hungary, which had been the site of a flowering of economic, cultural, and intellectual progress—but battles with the Ottomans lead to over a century of war and devastation. Pálffy explores Hungary's role as both a borderland and a theater of war through the turn of the 18th century. In this way, Hungary became a crucially important field on which key debates over religion, government, law, and monarchy played out. Reflecting 25 years of archival research and presented here in English for the first time, Hungary between Two Empires 1526–1711 offers a fresh and thorough exploration of this key moment in Hungarian history and, in turn, the creation of a modern Europe.

The History of Hungary and the Magyars

Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781330114056
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Hungary and the Magyars: From the Earliest Period to the Close of the Late War Many of the facts detailed in this work will possess no novelty for students of history. The writer does not profess to have derived his materials from any extraordinary sources. With most, if not all, of the books he has consulted, the literary world is, more or less, familiar. His object has been simply to present, in a popular form, the history of a great people, concerning whom the mass of English readers have no information except what can be gleaned from the stray and scanty allusions contained in the various accounts of the wars and revolutions of the German empire. He has dwelt at considerable length upon the relations existing between Hungary and the House of Hapsburg, because it is mainly upon the peculiar nature of these that her claims to the sympathy of Europe are founded. He has endeavoured throughout to make the narrative as plain and succinct as possible; and for the attainment of this object has, in many places, sacrificed a great number of collateral details. Foreign wars, as the least interesting episodes in a nation's life, when they leave behind no marked results, he has in many instances passed over with a mere mention. His great aim has been to convey a clear idea of the nature and the origin of the late revolution to the minds of those who have hitherto given hut little attention to European politics. For information regarding the war of independence he has consulted most of the works which have since appeared on the subject. To that of General Klapka, as the most trustworthy, perhaps, he is under greater obligations than any. The interest which the Magyars excited in 1849 is kept alive by the certainty, which every one who pays any attention to the state of affairs on the continent must feel, that, in the next great European convulsion, they will play, if possible, a still more important part than in the last. A history of Hungary, which will satisfy all the requirements of criticism, can never be written until her archives are in the hands of the rightful owners, and until the restoration of her liberties shall have enabled foreigners to study her institutions with the attention they merit. To such a character, therefore, this one lays no claim. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Excerpt from A Complete History of the Hungarian War: Including Outline History of Hungary, and Biographical Notices of the Most Distinguished Officers; With Authentic Portraits and Illustrations The history Of Hungary, from the ninth to the twelfth century, is consequently full of interest for the political philosopher. In the first years of that period, we see the Hungarian people, worried by foreign enemies, and hurried on by those migratory instincts which are peculiar to nomadic populations, leave their homes in Central Asia, and proceed to the Caspian, and thence to the Black Sea; thence they direct their steps to the Danube; for a legend is rife among them of a land of promise, belonging to the inheritance of Attila, Prince of the Hans, and kinsman to their tribe. Obedient to the advice of the Chazars, their neigh bours, we behold the chiefs of the clans assemble for the election Of a prince; but, jealous of his influence, they limit the extent of his power. They make a State, and that State 'stands alone in history; for it originated in a social contract, the provisions of which were not only enacted, but also observed. Thus united into a nation, the Hungarian tribes proceed, toward the end Of the ninth century, to conquer their present country. The conquest is an easy one. For tune favours them; they become overbearing, and begin to devastate the neighbouring countries. They make inroads upon Southern Germany, Upper Italy, and the northern provinces -of the Byzantine Empire. Some detached parties visit even the south of France, and advance to the walls Of Constantinople, until the hero Botond - thus runs the Hungarian legend breaks the gates of that city with his Club.
