Hungary

=Hungary Home=

Hungary became a Christian Kingdom in A.D. 100 and served as a bulwark against the Ottoman Turkish expansion in Europe. Following World War II, the country fell under communist rule, and in 1956 they withdrew from the Warsaw Pact. In 1968 Hungary was being lead by Janos Kadar and they began to introduce something called "Goulash Communism." It wasn't until 1990 that they held elections and encouraged a free market economy. Starting in 2011, Hungary started a presidency rotation every six months. This country was chosen because it is not necessarily a country that I have ever done research on or learned much about, so I thought it would be interesting. Through creating this Wiki I have learned a lot about Hungary and its culture that I would have never known before. It was very interesting to learn all about it, and after seeing pictures it looks to be a very beautiful country as well. I have a friend living in Budapest right now, so I enjoyed learning about the type of lifestyle she is currently living in, and maybe someday I will get a chance to visit! media type="youtube" key="wsnDWm3oIr0" height="346" width="462" align="center"
