Hey!!! Does anyone know anything about Hungary at all during the age of absolutism or the industrial revolution??? Any info at all would be excellent, I wouldn't be able to think you enough. Please help me!
Answer:Anything you want to know about Hungarian history in this time period will inevitably be entwined in Habsburg/Austrian history. As nationalism began to take on a momentum of its own in the 19th century there were calls for the Hungarian empire to break apart from Austria. The Austro-Hungarian compromise of 1867 sought to keep the empire from breaking apart by creating something of a dual-monarchy.

Answer:I have studied in Hungary,and I know Debrecen very well.Yes,in every country in Europe you will find a right wing minority who puts hate above everything.I am sure Hungary has those people as well.I have never heard about skinhead related incidents in Debrecen.The University is very good,no problem with diversity,they have students from African-Middle Eastern countries.Cost of living is considered low compare to the big EU cities.You can rent a flat for $300/month + utilities. Public transportation is great,you will have special student rate to buy a monthly pass.Food is very affordable,they have nice grocery stores,mostly Hungarian food.If you don't eat pork,poultry is available.Safety issues: the city is not really famous about violent crimes,mostly pickpockets and thieves.Cars are vulnerable parked on the streets.In some areas I would never walk alone after dark.They have a vivid night life,the little pubs always filled with students.I don't think you will have any problem there being a person of color.Here is a link with some more info: http://www.ud-mhsc.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=23&Itemid=44 Good Luck

I cant find a lot of details regarding the hyperinflation in Hungary. Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Answer:WWII destroyed everything in the country, not just in Hungary but in other European countries too. Inflation was a result of the economic meltdown Hungary had to face. Hyperinflation also emerges when a country's government does not use the necessary methods to intervene on time then inflation becomes unstoppable. If the government does not have enough income from exports (because of the war, obviously not much could be sold), the government needs to raise money by taking loans but if a country does not seem to be a reliable partner who could pay the money back, other countries won't give you any money. It's like a bank. If you are not a reliable applicant, they won't give any financial assistance. How can you get money then? The only way to do so is by making money for yourself! The government needs to print more paper money but in fact they don't have the gold supplies that could cover the amount of paper money they have. This is when your money loses its value and this is what is called inflation. Hyperinflation is the same but the difference is that the amount of paper money in use is so much that no supply can cover it at all. In Hungary, the official currency also had to be altered due to the hyperinflation. Hungary's original currency called pengő was withdrawn and the forint took its place. Why can a currency change help? Because on the international market, a new currency can have a better reputation. Hence, trust in the money (which is the basis of the issue whether there is inflation or not) remains or it gets re-established. This is how a country can recover from hyperinflation step by step. And of course the government has to introduce financial reforms as well. So all in all, the impact of WWII caused hyperinflation in Hungary then the country's currency lost its reputation due to the fact that Hungary could not take any loans from other countries when it would have been needed because every country became poor following WWII.
My brother and I are going to Budapest but we want to know what the age is to drink. Also, I've heard its almost unheard of in some European countries to check ID (unless you look like your 12). How strictly enforced is alcohol in Hungary. Thank you!
Answer:Legal age is 18, but I lived/traveled in Hungary for 6 months and never, ever saw anyone get carded. Most people regard alcohol consumption as too normal to merit all the fuss that it gets in, say, the USA. Don't get sloppy drunk and try to get into a bar (they're too used to drunk tourists to want to deal with the bother), but otherwise you'll be fine.
