10 reasons for Trianon
Genocide of Hungarians
It would have been impossible
to take away any parts of our country
and keep them almost continuously for one hundred years
if Hungarians had not been in a minority
in these regions for a long time.
While in Saint Stephen’s time the vast majority
of people were Hungarians,
in 1910 only 54 per cent of the inhabitants
of the Carpathian Basin declared themselves
to belong to the Hungarian nation.
The first reason for the huge decrease in the proportion of Hungarians
was the immense devastation suffered
by the nation in the course of several centuries.
The largest genocide of Hungarians happened
in the 13th century in a single year.
The Tatar horde massacred at least five hundred thousand
out of the 2.5 million subjects of the Hungarian Kingdom,
that is, every fifth person.
The massacre seriously affected each region
which was taken away in 1920.
The shedding of Hungarian blood continued in later times.
In the 15th century a significant number of Hungarians
were killed by the Czech Hussites in northern Hungary,
but the real mass murderer who entered our country
was Sultan Suleiman.
After the tragic Battle of Mohács
hundreds of villages were destroyed on his command,
in the southern counties 90 per cent
of the inhabitants were killed on average.
In the County of Bács the whole population vanished.
Before the Battle of Mohács
parish documents contained Hungarian names,
at the end of the 16th century
these villages vanished
or appeared with new names
and with some Serbian families in Turkish documents.
The Hungarian population living on the plain
regularly underwent campaigns and lootings,
while the Romanians and Slovaks, who lived in the mountains
went through the same to a much lesser degree.
The Ottoman expansion
nearly coincided with the Hungarian ethnic border.
While the Turks were devastating this area,
the Slovak population living in the northern regions was growing in peace.
During the liberation of the country from the Turks,
Rákóczi’s Insurrection and the War of Independence
from 1848 to 1849
the Hungarian population suffered heavy losses,
especially bacause
the nationalities growing in number attacked
the Hungarians several times.
Horea, Closca and Crisan
led a cruel anti-Hungarian pogrom
in Transylvania in 1784,
during which 173 villages were burnt down.
Supported by the Habsburgs,
Avram Iancu and his irregular troops started to massacre
the Hungarians in southern Transylvania in 1848.
They murdered more than ten thousand unarmed people,
and this changed the proportion of nationalities
in the area for ever.
Croatians and Serbs did the same
in the same period,
they ruthlessly murdered thousands of Hungarians in Zenta
and in other places in southern Hungary.
These cases show
that the Hungarian people
regularly suffered massacres,
and, as a result, it was not able to fill its living space any longer,
which allowed other people
to immigrate to the region.
