| Title | Old Mythologies and New Nations: Social Discourse in Trianon Hungary |
| Summary | In the post-Trianon era there were efforts by not only the new nation of Czechoslovakia and the enlarged Romania but also by Hungary to continue asserting their claims by the use of cultural diplomacy. All three engaged in various sorts of propaganda, attempting to put forth an image of their Europeanness to the Western nations. Though these campaigns were directed toward the West, in Hungary there was a necessary need to recreate an identity within the nation. This thesis will seek to find the ways in which Hungary was represented to the West, both from within and by western historians, primarily those in Britain, and the reasons and means by with they were able to utilize a return from the Finno-Ugric origin theory to the Hun myth by the late 1930s. |
