The basic premise of the scenario revolves around the leaders of Hungary acting more competently and decisively in the closing days of WW1 and during subsequent events. I didn't yet work out the exact details, but one idea of mine is getting Károlyi Mihály appointed Prime Minister of Hungary...

After the death of Louis I of Hungary (and Poland), his eldest living daugher, Mary was crowned King of Hungary. Her reign however proved to be rather unpopular. It was Mother-Queen Elisabeth and a clique led by Palatine Nicholas Garai who actually governed the country, and their inept policies...

Hello there! It's been a while since I last made a Hungary demography thread; that is getting rectified now. This one's a bit different from the others however. This time, I'm trying construct a list of largest cities for Hungary in a scenario inwhich the country doesn't suffer its OTL fate of...

Hungarian Arrival in The Homeland 2000 BC-800 AD In 2000 BC, the migration of the Hungarians was changed. They began to move east, not west, riding their horses and slowly moving east. In around 1500 BC, the Hungarians lost a major upset with a nearby tribe after years of warring. They...

Visualise the following scenario: Following the disastrous Battle of Mohács and Louis II's death, Ferdinand von Habsburg and John Szapolyai both claim the Hungarian throne for themselves. However unlike IOTL, the Battle of Tarcal(1527) proves to be more decisive, as it results in not only...

Let's say that the revolutions of 1848 were so severe that they suffocated Austria. What would Europe be like? Hungary becomes independent?

In a question totally unrelated to a project that I am totally not currently working on *cough*, I wanted the board's opinion on whether having multiple ethnic-Hungarian states would be possible. One option I had considered was a catholic west Hungarian state, and an orthodox east Hungarian...

After II World War instead of Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Socialist Autonomous Province of North Backa is created. The new territorial unit encompass areas with mostly Hungarian majority. The autonomy of this entity is mainly cultural and linguistic, with out any other serious...

In OTL, the Battle of Mohács was a huge disaster to Hungary. The king, Louis II died alongside many of the notables of the country, which offset a line of events, which ultimately culminated in the tripartition of Hungary. What if things would had gone differently? What if instead of facing the...

What if in the High Middle Ages (around 1000-1300) the Finno-Ugric language of Hungarians was gradually replaced with an Indo-European language with unique local characteristics? By the year 2000, it is an Indo-European language isolate kinda like Greek and Albanian, and is most similar to...

Some time ago, I remember reading a tentative script about an amateur Hungarian movie taking place around the year 1000 AD (when Hungary was Christianized), but there was still a lot of infighting in the country about who gets to rule it. The screenplay actually had the title "Dances with Deer"...

Was it ever possible for the Kingdom of Hungary to de facto disintegrate around the 14th century, that is, in the aftermath of the extinction of the main line of the Arpad dynasty? IOTL, after the death of Andrew III, the throne was contested between multiple pretenders, chiefly the Premyslid...

I have always found it interesting that the early Hungarian migrations of the ninth and tenth century have never been the subject of much alternate history discussion aside from speculation as to where they could have ultimately settled aside from Pannonia. After all, they were able to raid much...

In OTL, Bulgarians are descended from the Bulgars, a people of Turkic origins who gradually adopted a South Slavic language, and nowadays consider themselves Slavs. What if something similar happened in Hungary too around 1000 AD, and nowadays people in Hungary speak a Slavic language that is...

After WW2 Hungarians were ethnically cleansed from Yugoslavia, Romania and Czechoslovakia just like the Germans were from central and Eastern Europe. Although controversial today at the time it was seen as a fair punishment for Hungary’s alliance with Nazi Germany. What if they had not been...

Louis II of Hungary was the only son of the previous Vladislaus II Jagiellon. He's mostly notable for his unfortunate reign, during which Hungary suffered from feudal chaos and foreign meddling, ultimately resulting in a military defeat at the hands of the Ottomans in 1526 at Mohacs and the...

Caution: Many of you might find this proposed background sceniario to be borderline impossible. I understand and agree, but please, let's try focusing on the actual question and not the background. Background: During the German occupation of Austria, Hungary sends its army to occupy...

Could the Magyars have migrated somewhere other than the Carpathian Basin/Pannonian Plain? On one hand, the Carpathian Basin is the westernmost extension of the Eurasian steppe, which would imply that it was the most pragmatic place for the Magyars to settle. On the other hand, there's plenty...

If there's no Great War or any other significant disrupting factor, then what do you think, when could Hungary raise to become both economically and politically more powerful, than the Austrian side of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Any sceniario ideas about how would the shift in power play out...

Disclaimer: This is not a plasibility check thread, so please don't focus on that that much. Thanks. So What if Hungary breaks off from the Eastern Bloc in 1956, after the Soviets decide not to intervene in Hungary during its revolution? Who could come to power after the elections? How would...
