Editing Hungary (section)

=== Austria-Hungary ===

The [[Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867]] created the dual monarchy of [[Austria-Hungary]]. Hungary received its own parliament and government, while foreign policy, military affairs, and parts of state finance remained shared with Austria.

Budapest was created on 17 November 1873 through the union of Buda, Óbuda, and Pest. The city developed into the political, financial, and industrial centre of Hungary. Railways, factories, public buildings, and municipal services expanded during the final decades of the nineteenth century.

Austria-Hungary entered the [[First World War]] in 1914 and dissolved following its defeat in 1918. The Hungarian Democratic Republic was proclaimed on 16 November 1918.

The Hungarian Soviet Republic was established in March 1919 and collapsed in August of the same year. A regency under [[Miklós Horthy]] was established on 1 March 1920.

The [[Treaty of Trianon]], signed on 4 June 1920, established Hungary's post-war borders. Large territories of the former Kingdom of Hungary were transferred to neighbouring states, leaving Hungarian communities outside the country's new boundaries.
