Travel informations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A very brief history<\/summary>
\n

The kingdom of Hungary was founded on the 20th of August 1000 by Stephan I. A turbulent and often martial history began. The Hungarian independence ended in the middle of the 16th century when the country was taken by the Ottomans. Many parts of the country were under Turkish rule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

145 years later, the occupiers were driven out of the country but by then they had shaped the cultural landscape in many, long-lasting ways. Hungary left the union with Austria in late 1918 and ended the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (k.u.k. monarchy). Only one day later the prime minister announced the formation of a democratic republic. Social imbalances and the lost war caused the republic to die a quick death. The formation of a council republic and the attempt to build a new monarchy failed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the Yalta contract, Hungary was under Soviet control after World War II. Political change came with the new head of state in 1988. The borders to Austria were opened and the Iron Curtain fell. Many people from the GDR used this new opportunity and fled to Austria. Starting from the 11th of September 1989 crossing the border from Hungary to Austria was officially legal for citizens of the GDR and the peaceful revolution was in full swing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hungary is part of the western state system since 1989\/90 and became a member of Nato in 1999. According to the current constitution (2011), Hungary is a parliamentary republic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
