Hungarians and Slovaks

[Albion]

I keep hearing a bit about Slovaks and Hungarians supposedly disliking each other. I know of the Hungarian populated areas which are today part of Slovakia but I've also read comments from Hungarians claiming all of Slovakia is Hungarian and that Slovaks are Slavicized Hungarians.

So how much of that is true and what is the relation between the two peoples and countries?

[Lithium]

I don't know much about the Slovaks. My father was in Slovakia before few months and his views on the Slovaks were very positive. Even in one pub the people were listening Bulgarian folk music ;O

[Марко Краљевић]

Hungarians came and settled Pannonia plain in 9th century instead of Avars who were as nomadic non christian tribe exterminated by Charlemagne and Franks. Some Hungarians are of Avar origin. Also in Pannonia there were Slavs as well. Their descendants are nowadays Slovaks. Till 1918 Slovaks were part of Hungarian domain. Since both nations are majority Catholic, in the middle ages Catholic Church has seen Hungary as beacon of Catholicism in the east, thus supported Hungarian interests over other Catholic nations in the region - the Hungarization of Slovaks. Therefore, the major animosity between those two nations.

[Harcos]

After being on the losing side of war which Hungary had no choice in entering, Hungary's historical territory was decimated as a result of the Treaty of Trianon. The new borders were not drawn along linguistic or ethnic boundaries.

Finalised deceitfully by the Allies at Trianon, without the presence of a single Hungarian leader, the borders were drawn to the disadvantage of the ethnic Magyars, severing milions from their motherland.

Trianon left a huge number of Magyars in Slovakia, roughly thirty percent of Slovakia spoke Magyar, mostly situated in the south. Trianon/Versailles denied self-determination to these people and today is no different. The Benes decrees are still in force in Slovakia. Magyars are treated as second class citizens, Hungarian language and culture is either restricted or outright banned. Out of the three little entente nations, Slovakia is the most cruel towards her Magyar minority.

http://i52.tinypic.com/fvh6ip.gif

We were allowed to reannex roughly a third of Slovakia following the first Vienna Awared, populated by 84% Magyars, but were unrightfully given back to Slovakia after the war.

Ideally I want all of Slovakia reunited with Hungary, but due to chauvinism from both sides I don't see it happening in our lifetime. What we must focus on is the liberation of the Magyars in Slovakia, there are still roughly 500 000 Magyars in Slovakia today and there is no excuse as to why these people shouldn't be given the right of self-determination and the option of a plebiscite.

Trianon must be re-evalued and revised to be more equitable to Magyars, and drawn along lingusitic and ethnic boundaries, and autonomy be given to Magyar areas not contiguous to Hungary, such as Székelyföld. Magyars in in those areas deserve as much right of self-determination and freedom as do Slovaks, Vlachs, Serbs...

''May the memory of the Hungarian nation live in our souls, because we did not suffer as much during the thousand years of Hungarian rule as we did during six years of Czech rule'' - Father Andrej Hlinka, leader of the Slovak People's Party in 1925.

In spite of this, I generally do like our northern neighbours.

[Anna]

Interesting that you posted this....I just ran into two Hungarian-Americans last week, on separate occasions, that thought it was necessary to remind me that Slovakia was once part of Hungary, within this first 30 seconds of meeting them.

When I was in Hungary though, the people were really sweet. I experienced no rudeness.

[Thraex]

Simple solution: have the Hungarians in Slovakia move to Hungary. Problem solved.

[Magister Eckhart]

There is a difference between the views of Slovaks and the views of Slovakia, but the Hungarian nationalists I've met don't care too much for Slovakia at all, having lost a large swathe of territory to the newly created state that was historically Hungarian. As for those I've encountered in this country, old Slovaks essentially spit acid when you mention Hungarians, and Hungarians (like the ethnic Germans) tend to despise Slovaks and Poles. Though I have to say that's among the old immigrant populations, and the people I've met from the modern states of Hungary and Slovakia seem a little more mixed-- probably owing to leftist influence and a decline in nationalism in both states.

Sure, why don't we have the Serbs in Bosnia, Montenegro, Croatia and Kosovo move to Serbia aswell then?

It is definately a big hole in our heart to see our historical territory outside of our nation... We lost 72% of our territory and three milion, or a third of all Magyars were sperated from their motherland following this treaty. This treaty was not aimed at granting freedom to our minorities, but to humiliate our great nation in the most shameful way. June 4 1920 was the most devastating day in our nations existence after Mohács. This affected not just Magyars, but all people who have contributed and died for this land over the milennia.

Slovakia's history starts in 1918 when the Czechs, in violation of the armistice, invaded and annexed northern Hungary and first got it's ultimate independence in 1993. It is a young nation.

'Slovakia' has been part of Hungary since the 9th century and been called Upper Hungary since. Prior to that it used to be part of the Hun and Avar empires (5-8th century AD ), Slavs first started to settle 'Slovakia' during the reign of the latter. The Slovaks have had a close historical, cultural and ethnic ties with us, as we've been part of the same nation over a milennia. This revisionist phobia against each other, this fragmentation serves no one but the Jew.

No plebiscite was given in any of these territories. Excpet for in Sopron, in spite of it's German majority, the people decided to remain in Hungary. If plebiscites would of been given elsewhere, Magyar populated or not, we would have seen similiar results therefore plebiscites weren't allowed.

''The reason why elections could not be held in the occupied territory of Felvidék ( Hungarian Highlands ) was that Czechoslovakia would not have come into existence after the population would of voted against it'' - André Tardieu

''We had to chose between a direct vote by the people, or the creation of Czechoslovakia'' - Masaryk.

[Norbert]

Being predominantly Slavic myself, I view the Slovaks as my kinfolk... unfortunately though, I've never met any genuine Slovaks or even people of Slovak descent, so I cannot say much about them. Certainly a beautiful country though.

Really if you want my honest opinion, the whole notion of a Czecho-slovak nation is illegitimate. Much like the Polish state, it's an arbitrary invention of Anglo-American liberals with little to no knowledge or interest in the history of the region.

There were never enough Czechs or Slovaks anywhere to justify giving them their own state-- in Bohemia, it was predominately German and in Felvidék Hungarian. Neither Slovaks nor Czechs deserved more than half of the territory they were rewarded by ignorant liberals in Britain, France, and America, it took another world war for the liberal powers to force the unjust treaty down the throats of Hungarians and Germans alike. It would have made some sense to perhaps give Moravia its own state (here there was a majority Czech population) and perhaps split Felvidék, but to give the entire thing away is just absurd, and the reasoning was entirely economic, not ethnic at all. Germans were forcibly separated from Germany and Hungarians from Hungary because the liberals felt that the new Czecho-slovak state would be at a disadvantage if they did not give them these huge swathes of territory that were not theirs to give, which itself completely invalidates their vapid excuse of "ethnic self-determination".

But that's from someone who isn't an ethnic Magyar.

[Guapo]

How many Hungarians have Slovak ancestry like the famous Lajos Kossuth...

[Hess]

I confess that i have never consciously met a Slovak. However, i grew up in Moscow so there is a slight possibility that i have seen them before.

[Guapo]

how about subconsciously?

[Harcos]

How many Hungarians have Slovak ancestry like the famous Lajos Kossuth...

How many Serbs have Turkish ancestry?

[Magister Eckhart]

How many Serbs have Turkish ancestry?

That's not really a fair response here -- Kossuth was well known to be minimally Magyar by blood, even though he took up the Magyar cause; it distinguishes him from actual Magyars like Deak, Szechenyi, and other nobleman-nationalists, and actually speaks to the good relations and positive feelings felt between Hungarians and Slovaks historically, even if such relations were soured in the 20th century.

Besides the analogy it a little inaccurate; it might be better if you wanted a sarcastic quip to ask "how many Serbs have Albanian ancestry", since Slovaks never ruled over Hungary the way the Turks ruled Serbia.

[Albion]

...

In spite of this, I generally do like our northern neighbours.

Yes, I agree the Magyars have a right to self determination and that majority Magyar areas which are contingous with Hungary could be annexed by it.
But why incorporate all of Slovakia into Hungary? Wouldn't this go against the whole self-determination part?
Personally I'd rather see Slovakia remain independent but the majority Magyar areas contingous with Hungary join Hungary.


newly created state that was historically Hungarian.

The nation didn't exist but the ethnicity and the Slavic tribe did.


Slavs first started to settle 'Slovakia' during the reign of the latter. The Slovaks have had a close historical, cultural and ethnic ties with us, as we've been part of the same nation over a milennia. This revisionist phobia against each other, this fragmentation serves no one but the Jew.


Maybe my Slovak / Hungarian history is a little rusty, but didn't the Slavs move southwards including into Pannonia before the Magyars even arrived there? Surely it must be that the Magyars simply absorbed or booted out the previous Slavic inhabitants.


There were never enough Czechs or Slovaks anywhere to justify giving them their own state-- in Bohemia, it was predominately German

Large areas of it were German but much of the territory of Czechia was indeed Czech. Besides, the Germans have been encrouching on Slavic territory for centuries (although much of it was East Germanic before the Slavic migrations).


Felvidék Hungarian.

The lowlands perhaps and the areas which continue from the Pannonian plain.


The first ethic data of whole Hungarian Kingdom by county was published in 1842. According to this survey the total population of the counties in Upper Hungary exceeded 2.4 million, with the following ethnic distribution: 59.5 % Slovaks, 22 % Magyars, 8.3 % Ruthenians, 6.7 % Germans and 3.6 % Jews.


Neither Slovaks nor Czechs deserved more than half of the territory they were rewarded by ignorant liberals in Britain, France, and America, it took another world war for the liberal powers to force the unjust treaty down the throats of Hungarians and Germans alike. It would have made some sense to perhaps give Moravia its own state (here there was a majority Czech population) and perhaps split Felvidék, but to give the entire thing away is just absurd, and the reasoning was entirely economic, not ethnic at all.

I agree that the borders could have been better drawn, instead Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia when the borders should have been drawn in such a way as to include them with Germany.
Its the same with Slovakia, the borders could have been a bit more precise - well a lot but I hardly think Hungary should have kept the whole of Slovakia.

There is simply no such thing as a Slovak, the correct name is tót. Even on Ottoman censuses they were listed as "Northern Hungarians"

Historically, we have lived in peace with each other, but then it all went to hell after the Habsburgs arrived. We should be one country again.

The Hungarian Slovak hatred us a very new phenomenon.

The Slovaks were always our allies. They supported us in the 1703–1711 war of independence, there were Slovak Kuruc commanders, in the 1848 war of independence there were Slovaks fighting against us, but there were also many Slovaks fighting on our side.

The Slovaks and also Rusyns have been some of our best friends and allies. Hungarians and Slovaks have lived together and fought together side by side for centuries. But this all went to hell after the Habsburgs played ethnicity against each other, and the rise of ethnonationalism, also combined with brainwashing, mainly from the Czechs, then communists, etc and today we are in today's situation. They do not trust us, and we do not trust them. Their head is full of air about some invented history of theirs, so called "Great" Moravia and anti-Hungarian chauvinism.

How would Hungarians feel if I say to them that both Hungarians and Turks come from the same ancestors (Mi mind Attila gyermekei vagyunk)? I think Hungarians should be proud of their Slavic roots rather than their Turkic ancestors because they have a lot of Slavic influence more than their Turkic influence.

Poland had have a very large German input in the last thousand year. This country was a very rare inhabitated land what have soaked up many immigrant from the overpopulated West. The northern part of nowadays Poland was not Slavic or Germanic. It was inhabitated by the Baltic Old-Prussian tribes. This area have colonized by both the Slavs and Germans. The Urheimat of the Slavs was Southerner in nowadays SE Poland. The Panslavic ideology is just a same pseudo-scientific crap like as the Pan-Germanic stories about "Magna Germania" from the Rhein to the Memel and the Turanist myth about the Hun's Euro-Asian Empire. Grow up, people!

[Stears]

Do not forget, that Hungarians are lighter pigmented, genetically more european than balkan people. Culturally we are more european, due to the catholic-protestant western culture.



Hungarians came and settled Pannonia plain in 9th century instead of Avars who were as nomadic non christian tribe exterminated by Charlemagne and Franks. Some Hungarians are of Avar origin.

Grow up, people!

I think you GREATLY overstate the intermixing of Poles and Germans, it just never happened contrary to the urban legend. The Polish/German marriage is as popular as being drawn in all direction by four horses.

Those two groups are not too fond of each other. I seriously doubt it was ever in an excess of a fraction of percentage at any time during the history.

With the Balts it is a different story, yes we are intermixed and it shows in our phenotypes, there is no denying it. Our R1b component is at least as much from Celtic input as it is from Germanic one, and for the most part is ancient, I would have guessed, but I'm not keen on that shit too much.

edit: my "slovakness" is debatable

[Sierra]

We often get accused of being the chauvinists, instigators of tensions between Slovaks. I will show you Slovaks among other Slovaks.I must say comments like those don't really surprise me given the events that have been happening between Slovakia and Hungary in recent years (like, for instance, the issue of the dual citizenship (http://spectator.sme.sk/articles/view/46258/2/citizenship_issues_vex_slovak_hungarian_ties.html) , or the denial of entry to Slovakia for the Hungarian president (http://spectator.sme.sk/articles/view/36337/2/hungarian_president_denied_entry_to_slovakia.html) ), which I think were mostly triggered by Hungary. The thing is, as it seems to me, Slovaks generally don't have problems with Hungary or Hungarians, it's rather the other way around. I don't think I've ever noticed any real serious antipathy or bad treatment of Hungarians in Slovakia. Even if there might be some people who would occasionally say something unpleasant about Hungarians, their opinions and attitudes aren't necessarily representative of the majority of Slovak citizens.

[Huszár]

Slovaks have little reason these days to dislike us, those who hate us hate us simply because we exist.

We on the other hand, have reason to dislike Slovakia.

[Sierra]

Slovaks have little reason these days to dislike us, those who hate us hate us simply because we exist.Sure, one just has to love Hungary and its people. What's there not to like? Especially after reading comments like these (btw, made by you in this thread):


Slovaks are to us, what Basques, Catalans are to Spaniards, what the Welsh are to the English.
I also am against the existence of a Slovak state. Slovakia occupies the territory of Northern Highlands.There is simply no such thing as a Slovak, the correct name is tót.
We should be one country again.Obviously, Slovaks have "little reason" to dislike you.

When has a Hungarian politician ever insulted Slovaks or Slovakia? Never, but I give you many quotes from your side..

Sierra, like I said before on this thread, the Slovak-Hungarian dislike is not necessary, however you give us no choice. Before, we were one nation, two languages, but you bought the propaganda of Bohemian chauvinists hook line and sinker, and turned against us.

And yes, I am against the existence of pariah stateless in Europe carved out of other countries, without EU, NATO, Slovakia would find it increasingly difficult to exist as a country, and these things will not exist forever.

Slovakia discriminatory laws, language law, Benes decrees, citizenship law.

Hungarians and Slovaks have been friends a long time ago. Today slovak identity = Hate the hungarians!
I think slovaks are decent people but inferiority complex the historical antecedents.

Doesn't it remind you of Yugoslavia, where neigbour fought against neigbour?
Why we must be so stupid?
Cant we avoid conflict?
We dont want tension, we are just saying our worries.
So we can act, while there is still time.

Slovaks, dont let yourselves be lied to!
The new Hungarian goverment, and their dual citizenship law, is the first step to grabbing all Slovaks of Hungarian ethnicity, and begin to realize their well thought out plan!. Slovaks, we must defend ourselves against this!
We are here at home, and our home we must defend!
This is the only way Slovakia will remain ours.

Since deputy prime minister Robert Fico declared the "wise historism" concept, the history books are getting rewritten in a faster pace than before, and in an increased "spirit of national pride",[120][not in citation given] [121] which Krekovič, Mannová and Krekovičová claim are mainly nothing else, but history falsifications.[121] Such new inventions are the interpretation of Great Moravia as a (proto)-Slovak state, or the term "proto-Slovak" itself,[121] along with the "refreshing" of many "old traditions", that in fact did not exist or were not Slovak before.[121] The concept received criticism in Slovakia pointing out that the term proto-Slovak cannot be found in any serious publication, simply because it lacks any scientific basis.[122] Miroslav Kusý Slovak political scientist explained that by adopting such scientificly questionable rhetoric Fico aims to "strengthen national consciousness by falsification of history".

From the billboards in the pics:

"Keď chcete naše peniaze, oslovte nás aj po maďarsky!" = "If you want our money, address us in Hungarian, too!"

So Hungarian speakers in Komárno think that somebody wants their money - obviously they must be the only people in Slovakia.

[Baluarte]

Maybe they're making reference to the taxes and charges beign imposed on them while not being allowed to speak their language.

Slovakia has behaved very criminally with its Hungarian minority, no wonder why they're pissed.

[Huszár]

First of all I don't know what is Komárno, do you mean Komárom ?

Secondly, Komárom has a Hungarian majority, therefore it is illogical for there to be signs in Slovak only (which make up minority in the town).

So they are correct, if they want the money of the majority, then they can start addressing the Hungarians there in Hungarian.

Do you have a problem with this?

[Verchar]

not being allowed to speak their language

:picard2:
everybody is allowed to speak any language that one can think of.
and one can speak magyar and fill magyar papers in bureaus in komárno

the point of that poster campaign was that if businesses want to get more clients (in the area), they could try to use ads in magyar.

[Baluarte]

The 2009 amendment of the language law restricts the use of minority languages, and extend the obligatory use of the state language, e.g. in communities where the number of minority speaker is less than 20% of the population. Under the 2009 amendment a fine up to 5000 euros may be imposed on those committing a misdemeanour in relation to the use of the state language.

Legally a Hungarian in a postoffice in a Hungarian majority town must speak Slovak to another Hungarian there.

Perhaps they should just take the Hungarian majority lands in South Slovakia and give them to Hungary.

Slovakians mistreat them all the time, and Hungarians have no love for their oppresor country anyway.
Everybody happy, and the linguistic barrier is respected.

[Huszár]

Komárom is a Hungarian city, that was split apart in 1920. I certainly don't need a Slovak to educate me about Hungarian Komárom. What you call it is absolutely irrelevant.

I don't see how this is relevant to the discussion.

Facts of discrimination:

1) Ján Slota, the chairman of Slovak National Party SNS, according to whom the Hungarian population of Slovakia "is a tumour in the body of the Slovak nation."

2)The Constitution also declares that Slovak is the state language on the territory of the Slovak Republic. Make this rules concrete, the 1995 Language Law declares that the State language has a priority over other languages applied on the whole territory of the Slovak Republic. The 2009 amendment of the language law restricts the use of minority languages, and extend the obligatory use of the state language, e.g. in communities where the number of minority speaker is less than 20% of the population

3) Especially in Slovakia's ethnic Hungarian areas,[26] critics have attacked the administrative division of Slovakia as a case of gerrymandering, designed so that in all eight regions, Hungarians are in the minority. Under the 1996 law of reorganization, only two districts (Dunajská Streda and Komárno) have a Hungarian-majority population. While also done to maximize the success of the party HZDS, the gerrymandering in ethnic Hungarian areas worked to minimize the Hungarians' voting power.[

4) As a response to change in Hungarian citizenship law, the National Council of the Slovak Republic approved on May 26, 2010 a law stating that if a Slovak citizen applies for citizenship of another country then he/she will lose his/her Slovak one

1. private opinion of a former chairman of a retard nationalist party is not a discrimination.
2. language act is stupid but what you copy/pasted is legally incorrect, not even discussing that.
3. gerrymandering and failed administrative division is indeed a problem in slovakia but i dont see much of a connection to hungarians. some districts may have been "modeled" with regards to that but thats debatable.
4. citizenship farce was all about political points, nothing to do with discrimination

and cern bači is in picture, as always :D :D
