Trianon and Its Reflection to Hungarian Poems

Abstract

When we look at 20th century events, we see exrtemely two important developments in Hungarian history. With World War I and the Treaty of Trianon which Hungary was made to sign by great powers , we witness that the fate of Hungarians has been rewritten. Hungary became exhausted after World War I and was shattered with the Treaty of Trianon. This treaty led Hungary not only to lose a big part of land and their economy, but it also caused a large part of the Hungarians to live under the sovereignty of other states. Hence, with these losses, the Hungarians suffered profound wounds in their minds and bodies, and they experienced a great social trauma. This study aims to examine the general frame of this historical and tragic phenomenon and to point out how this has been reected on Hungarian poetry with its effects on the Hungarians. However, since there have been as many poems on this subject as in a book of poetry, this study mainly engage with the Hungarian poetry written from the irredentist ideological perspective in the 1920s.
