Hungary (Republic of Hungary)
Hungary is a Central European Republic bordered
by Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania,
Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia.
Hungary was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, until
World War I.
It lost over 2/3 of its land and population after W.W.I
in the Allies dictated Trianon Peace Agreement. After
W.W.II, it was ruled by Communists.
Moscow met the 1956 popular uprising, announcing the
withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact with a massive military
intervention. During the Gorbachev years, Hungary led
the movement to dissolve the Warsaw Pact and steadily
shifted toward multiparty democracy and a market-oriented
economy.

Sites about Budapest
Sorry, I did ran a couple of links to Budapest sites, but
they no longer exist.
I have tried to contact their Webmasters without getting
any response.
I will endeavour to make my own pages on the previous
subjects, starting on them immediately.
Sites about Hungary in general
The Hungarian Home Page
Well apart from the above link, the other previous 15 links
were also dead.
After a fruitless & lengthy wait for their Webmasters reply
to my inquiries, I have deleted their links and endeavouring
to make my own pages on the previous subjects, starting on
them immediately.
Most of those links were to pages that were in English, but many
of them had Hungarian options and a few of them were
in Hungarian only.
