I thought it would be the Trianon treaty. How much land did you gain or lose in 1956?
- peter_neumark 5y agoGood point, the Trianon treaty and associated loss of territory is an important national trauma (we've got a respectable collection :) ). It's a favorite of populist politicians, but it doesn't deserve a bank holiday like the 1956 revolution. 1956 recently got a full "memorial year" https://www.magyarforradalom1956.hu/ https://www.magyarforradalom1956.hu/ choke-full of thinly veiled campaigning financed with public money.
