Hungarian (magyar) History (történelem) - An excerpt There is a Hungarian song that contains the words: …gyönyörü szép Magyarország... legszebb ország a világ...which roughly translated means: ... beautiful lovely Hungary... the prettiest nation on earth.
Considering the size of their country, Hungarians have achieved remarkable results in numerous areas such as: scientific discoveries (in mathematics and physics, and areas such as holography, homeopathic medicine, Vitamin C, etc.). Hungarians also won many Nobel prizes, as well as excelled in summer olympics, where their best sports are water polo, swimming, the pentathlon, soccer (in the old days), and kayaking. An American of Hungarian origin won the Gold in giant slalom in the Winter Olympics. Hungarians also dominated Hollywood.
Hungary has an extremely interesting history, noted for its continual struggle for freedom from various occupiers, including from the Habsburg dynasty in Austria, and recently from the Soviet Union. The torture, concentration camps and lack of freedom of speech instituted by the puppet governments installed by the Soviets since the end of World War II led to the well known 1956 revolution. While this revolution failed, the freedom loving Hungarians were able to start the fall of the Soviet empire in 1989, when they undertook to defy Soviet rules by letting East Germans escape en masse into Austria.
