HUNGARY In the 1930s, the Kingdom of Hungary required trade with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany to pull itself out of the Great Depression. Eight years of trade, both literal and political, would mean that the politics and foreign policy of Hungary would become increasingly pro-Fascist Italian and pro-National Socialist German. Hungary would benefit from its relationship with the Axis. Settlements were negotiated regarding territorial disputes with the Czecho-Slovak Republic, the Slovak Republic, and the Kingdom of Romania. Hungary officially joined the Axis in 1940 and by 1941, Hungarian forces would participate in the invasion of Yugoslavia and Soviet Union. While involved in active warfare with the Soviet Union, Hungary would engage in secret peace negotiations with the United States and the United Kingdom. When Germany discovered this “treason” in March of 1944, German Forces occupied Hungary. When Soviet forces began turning the battle around and were threatening Hungary, Hungarian Regent Miklós Horthy and the USSR signed an armistice. German commandos were sent to kidnap Horthy’s son. The Germans then forced Regent Miklós Horthy revoke the armistice and then deposed him. They then established a new government under Hungarian fascist leader Ferenc Szálasi. Soviet and Romanian armies would invade Hungary and defeat the Hungarian and German forces in 1945.
During World War II, around 300,000 Hungarian soldiers and 80,000 civilians would die in battle on the Russian Fronts as well as in their cities and countrysides. From those who fought side by side with the Germans, to underground opposition forces, to those who would die fighting each other would mean many cities damaged, including the capital of Budapest. In the initial relationship with Germany. including the first two years of warfare, most Jews in Hungary were protected from deportation to German camps of extermination. IN 1944, after the German’s occupied Hungary due to the peace talks, Jews and Roma [Gypsies] were deported to the Auschwitz Birkenau Concentration and Extermination Camp.
Between 450,000 and 606,000 Hungarian Jews and an estimated 28,000 Hungarian Roma would be exterminated. After its surrender, Hungary’s borders were returned to their pre-1938 status and its government would become and remain communist until the revolution of 1989.

1914 In treue fest [ In Loyalty Steadfast ] Bavaria: formerly, In treue fest (German, In loyalty steadfast) The Free State of Bavaria is a state of Germany, located in the southeast of Germany. With an area of 70,548 square kilometers (27,200 sq. mi), it is the largest state by area, forming almost 20% of the total land area of Germany. Bavaria is Germany’s second most populous state (after North Rhine-Westphalia), with 12.5 million inhabitants, more than any of the three sovereign nations on its borders. Bavaria’s capital and largest city is Munich, the third largest city in Germany. One of the oldest states of Europe, it was established as a duchy in the mid first millennium. In the 17th century, the Duke of Bavaria became a Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. The Kingdom of Bavaria existed from 1806 to 1918, and Bavaria has since been a free state (republic). Modern Bavaria also includes parts of the historical regions of Franconia, Upper Palatinate and Swabia.
