Hungary (in Hungarian: MagyarorszΓ‘g) is an ethnically white country in Central Europe, at times considered part of Eastern Europe.
Hungary became a Christian kingdom in A.D. 1000 and for many centuries served as a bulwark against Ottoman Turkish expansion in Europe. The kingdom eventually became part of the polyglot Austro-Hungarian Empire, which collapsed during The Great War. The country fell under communist rule following WWAC, becoming one of dozens of communist Puppet States. In 1956, a revolt and an announced withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact were met with a massive military intervention by Moscow. Under the leadership of Janos KADAR in 1968, Hungary began liberalizing its economy, introducing so-called "Goulash Communism." Hungary held its first multiparty elections in 1990 and initiated a capitalist economy. It joined NATO in 1999 and the EU five years later.
