      - failed at having country just where their people lived - it could have been a peace process - but it was the great powers who made it right (Russians taking territories from P, CSR), Sudetenland lost to germans, 3milions of H outside of Hungary after WW1
      - what the great powers did
    - - belated and interrupted national development (partly bc of Habsburg rule)
      - the rise of (linguistic) nationalism and legitimate demands for self-determination

      - PM TEleki aim (1939-41): to remain neutral (G cooperation, VB, FR relations), skeptik G win) = FAIL
  - - - small state fragmentation - Kleinstaaterai

        1/3 of ethnic Hungarians outside its borders
        
        demilitarization
      - what led to trianon? (contemporary views)
        
        longue durée approach (Mohács + demographic changes)
        
        nationalist revival x Trianon legends (Apponyi, punishment for communism, Freemasonry, Károlyi pacifist, Béla Kun...)
        
        internal & external forces (mainstream academic consensus)
      - H treated as a defeted power, without invitation to Paris, H remained in isolation
      - TRIANON SHOCK: feeling of injustice, revisionism up, mistreatment of H people (feeling), betrayal by EU, * alternative identities (Eastern heritae, Magyars)
