The logic behind Hungary’s foreign policy of “connectivity”
Hungary’s history is full of brutal invasions, occupations, and a plethora of accompanying tragedies dealt at the hands of foreign powers. The Habsburg, Ottoman, Nazi, and Soviet empires all left scars in the Carpathian Basin which are felt to this day. Some are immortalized through institutes such as the House of Terror and the Holocaust Museum. Budapest is determined that this brutal past will not be repeated.
