1919. The Bolshevik Revolution of Béla Kun

Summary/Abstract: After the First World War, Hungary went through a deep political, economic and social crisis that endangered the very existence of this nation as a state. At the end of 1918, after the failed attempt to federalize the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Budapest, Prime Minister M. Károlyi proclaimed the republic. Unfortunately, the new government could not stop the crisis in which Hungary had entered, obviously foreshadowing the disintegration of Greater Hungary. In desperation, the Hungarians also experienced communism. So, in March 1919, Béla Kun and the Hungarian Bolsheviks established the second communist regime in the world: the Hungarian Republic of Councils. In order to attract as many people as possible, the Hungarian Red Army attacked Slovak and Romanian territory (Transylvania). The communist experiment ended with the intervention of the Romanian Army, which resulted in the occupation of Budapest on August 4, 1919.
