The small city of Eger in eastern Hungary is known, in Hungary, for it’s wine and for defeating the Ottoman Turks in 1552. In Hungary’s own battle of the Alamo, 2000 Hungarian soldiers repulsed a besieging force of 20,000 Turks resulting in 44 years of relative peace before the Ottomans were ultimately successful in conquering all of south central Europe up to the gates of Vienna. Hungary’s nationalism is understandable, Hungarians are not Slavs, rather Magyars coming from the steppes east of the Carpathian mountains, settling the area in around 800 CE. In 1000 CE King St. Stephen founded a 300 year dynasty. However after that every 100 years or so someone, other than the Hungarians, has carved things up differently. The Mongols, the Ottomans, the Hapsburgs, WWI, WWII, the Soviets have all had different ideas of what ‘belonged’ to Hungary.
