Once more, private histories and political history are revealed to be mutually constitutive, as this blog entry presents the contexts and the complex conditions under which life-affecting choices were made in the era. The head of our research group, Balázs Ablonczy writes about themes familiar from the opening contribution to this series by Veronika Szeghy-Gayer.

Our colleague and fellow research group member, Csaba Zahorán spent late November and early December in Transylvania, Romania, where he had a chance to observe the December 1 commemorations in conjunction with research he is conducting. (It was on December 1, 1918 that a large popular assembly in Alba Iulia /Gyulafehérvár/, composed of Transylvanian Romanians, declared its intention to achieve unification with Romania, and the anniversary of this assembly has been celebrated as the national day of Romania since 1990.)

Almost a century after its signing, some aspects of the Treaty of Trianon remain under-researched. Balázs Ablonczy talked to InfoRadio about the „Trianon 100” research group.
