   The culture of Political Correctness was invented by the Left for the sole advantage of the Left.

   When I was young we always refused to accept the establishment view without a full debate. Sadly, many young people now shy away from speaking their mind or discussing topics the Left deems “bad”
   As a non Hungarian I am very interested to discuss Trianon, just as I am to discuss 1848 and 1956.
   The Left want to stop discussion of history. Do not let them

   Bruce – your comments find me in a position that I concur totally.
   Rooted deep in Hungarian society, there still is severe scaring from the tragedy, that eventuated, not just for Hungary, but Europe, from the Treaty of Trianon.
   The signing in 1920, of this treaty, it’s historical impact at that time, what it inflicted upon Hungary, was devastating.
   The after effects, instantaneous to a degree, that was witnessed in Europe, was the fueling and feed, that was festering in Europe, prior to the outbreak of the Great War – 1914 – 1918 – First World War, to a growing Leftist style or position of the Governments of Countries that where of influence in Europe, in this time of History.
   The Treaty of Trianon – signed 1920, we know from History, a century on, it’s tragedy and over-sights, that was one dimensional.
   They may have at the time, called them-selves allies, there forcing, without a right of question’s – defence nor objection, and that Hungary sign the Treaty of Trianon, without recourse.
   The European years in History, from 1920 to 1989 – History is there for ALL to read and study, through the infamous Second World War years 1939-1945, and on through to 1989, the fueling of leftist forms of Governments, momentum gained from the Treaty of Trianon, the winners where – those driven by a belief that leftist style based forms of Government, where the way of the Future.
   This false sense of belief, finally, after the pain and suffering endured by millions throughout vast numbers of European Countries, born out of the Treaty of Trianon, proved unequivocally, a Human Catastrophic Disaster.
   Maturity of Age freely provides Humans with Wisdom.
   History, provides for Humans, the insight of events, that bought around situations, that left significant impact or ramifications, that leave lasting factorial evidence, on Country’s or on the Greater World Stage.
   The global challenge to the World, through this novel coronavirus pandemic, not forgetting, there is still NO vaccine for human immunization, there needs to be un-divided attention paid to History.
   Europe again faces a critical and testing time in it’s History which same is said for The United Kingdom.
   Winston Spencer Churchill – did say :
   ” the farther backward you can look,
   the farther forward you can see.”
   Will we LEARN from History ?
   If we dismiss History, the immediate time ahead, will be distorted, veiled and shrouded – that will be perilous in it’s direction and course set upon by Europe – the EU member countries and the United Kingdom.
   This will not be helped by the SHAMBLES of the United States of America under it’s 45th appointed President – the infamous Donald. J. Trump, who will be discarded this coming November 2020, leaving America, imploding within, unemployment at 450,000 and the economy, in absolute turmoil, and deaths from this novel coronavirus pandemic exceeding 200,000 citizens of America, and on-going demonstrations and civil objections and unrest, adding to the over-all state that America, heading, into an abyss direction.
   Trepidation – sadly is my theme at present, but hopefully Wisdom & History may get a look in or consideration as we embark on the uncertain future world stage/chapter of its – History.
   Stay Well – ALL.

   I live in the USA. I am hungarian in my mothers side. My maternal grandparents are from transylvania,
   They immigrated just before ww1. The horrors that my grandparents families went through after 1820 are unbelievable and horrifying,
   If there could be any way to put Hungary back together and make it whole again, I hope it can be done
