An understanding of the thousand-year history of Hungary is vital for a good background. During the centuries¸ four nations have tried to rule the area now known as Hungary. German-Roman emperors brought the Hungarian crown into their treasury. In the eleventh century their attacks stopped¸ due to huge casualties. In 1241 the Tartars came and burned the land¸ after they crushed the Royal knights near Muhi. They too were eventually defeated. The Turks¸ and then the Austrian Habsburg family¸ came to dominate the country in the sixteenth century.
Finally a new state was formed by mutual accord. It would not stand long¸ for the Great War began in 1914.
