If I remember correctly, he said that in letter(s) addressed to French politicians and military leaders, trying to impress upon those the importance of supporting Romania and its national goals. If anything, Berthelot for sure was not looking to Romania as to an African country, to be spoiled of riches and exploited, but as to a regional ally of France, a Latin country and a pillar of French influence in a region where already German and Russian interests were competing. I believe we should grant General Berthelot plenty of excuses for his words (which today are seen carrying more malicious meanings than in his time!), also in the name of the French officers who fought and died alongside Romanian troops during the battles of 1917-1918.

I don't think it was doomed for that reason necessarily. Kun had a surprisingly wide range of support; since the Entente failed to help the Karolyi govt deal with Hungary's neighbours, Hungarians increasingly became sympathetic to the Bolsheviks due to the possibility of a Russian alliance. Conservatives actually supported the communists at first; the consensus was 'rather Bolshevism than being partitioned'. Even Charles IV (the last king) expressed such a sentiment in a conversation with a British officer. The reason it was doomed, in my opinion, was because it could not stop the invasions of its neighbours. The only thing that could would be to accept their territorial demands, which Horthy was willing to do (whereas Karolyi and Kun were not).

It wasn't really Kun or Bolshevism the people supported. It was a strong central power that resisted the enemies, and defended Hungary.

I think Habsburgs and, after the creation of the Dual Monarchy, with help from the Hungarians did such a great job of keeping any nascent nationalism working in their favor, playing nationalities off each other by offering political concessions. Once the war was over it was just a total free for all and it seems clear nobody had any idea of how crazy it would get. In those parts of Europe that developed more nationally after 1848 the situation was more controlled; well, somewhat at least. It obviously got pretty hairy in Germany. And it terms on entente smugness and racism, I think that is manifest. The smugness also certainly comes from drinking the victory Kool Aid which probably made their belief in their exceptionslism even more insufferable.

​@@jona.scholt4362 Dual Monarchy, didn't worked very well, Hungarians didn't trusted Austrians and vice versa. Austrians were more willingly to trade language and political rights for stability, Hungarians opted to intensify the Magyarization (no minority schools after primary school) and this didn't made Romanians and Slovaks very happy . Also they were very against United States of Greater Austria for autonomy based on minorities. Also since the 13th century the Orthodox Church started to be seen as heretical in Hungary (including Transylvania), Romanians were put in a bad position. Because of that in the 19th century in Transylvania, most of lower class in Transylvania was composed from Romanians and the Magyar landlords didn't wanted to make concessions because they were losing money, because of the cheap Romanian workforce. The fight between rich and poor got a national connotation. So because of those Romanians in Transylvania had a lot of hatred for their Hungarian masters, also the Hungarians didn't cared that much on the problem, they were too focused to be equal to Austrians. So in 1919 Hungarians ended with a blinded by hatred and revenge minority that wanted to cause as much damage to Hungary as possible.

@@Kalimdor199Menegroth I'm from Hungary and in some ways i'm agree. In Hungary most of the people vote to the party what promise the most to them. One of the biggest "invention" of the Orban regime is that they give "bonus" money to the pensioners in every year (5000-10000 huf, around 15-30 €), instead of give more pensions, and when elections came they could say them, that if they dont vote to their candidates, they will not get more money. And their jackpot is the immigrant criris. The Fidesz (Orban's party) spent billions of hungarian forints since 2015 to anti immigrant and anti George Soros and anti EU propaganda, makeing a country more like Russia than the EU. The other half of the people is very divided, and many of the opposition partys is de facto in Orban's pocket (like the socialist party, the "MSZP", which destroyed the chances to an opposition collaboration in the 2018 election). And the biggest "opposition" party is the biggest reason why Orban is very popular. Its head (Gyurcsany Ferenc) was the prime minister of Hungary. He cheated the elections, and when the people started demonstrateing against him, he smashed up them with the police, there are some interesting videos about this incident in youtube, like an old men even started a T-34 tank in one of these events. So in all, there is a "stability" after the left governments failures and 2008 crash, and the people like authoritarian leaders, like Horthy and Kádár, and Orban is in their place.

Ionel Bratianu died in 1927, same year with Ferdinand, he had a medical issue that needed attended but due to much responsibility and sacrifice in the political stuggules of Romanian back then he postponed it until it was too late for him. Great hero of our nation, never to be forgotten.

@@valentinovidiucornea4525 Not really! Their power was too limited for that! The masters were the Austrians in this state. They didn't want too many conflicts to arise between the nations that they ruled. That's why they made sure that there wasn't such a significant Hungarianization. For the rest, I wouldn't call Austria an empire. Because an empire is always to be defined in comparison to the other empires. With this size Austria would have been an empire in the 17th century but not in the 19th and 20th centuries. In this Zaitlater the empires were significantly larger. Just because the Austrians oppressed some nations doesn't make them an empire. The Punjabis of Pakistan rule about 50 other nations in Pakistan and no one calls Pakistan an empire for that. In terms of area, Pakistan is also larger with 796,095 km² than Austria with 675,964 km² around 1900. By the way, that was the reason why the Austrians started World War I. They wanted to feel more like an empire by conquering most of the Balkans. This is not a joke. The First World War took place because of the inferiority complex of the Austrians, who felt that they controlled too small an area. The Germans then supported the Austrians and provoked a war with the Russians and French out of the same inferiority complex. The Germans did have an empire, but only for a pathetic 33 years when they got hold of the first colonies. But compared to the real British Empire, that was pathetic. That is why they took part in the Austrian war and wanted to gain large territories by defeating the Russians and French. That almost worked too. After the victory against the Russians in 1917 and the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, the Germans had conquered large territories in Eastern Europe. A large-scale colonization was planned. But then the Germans had bad luck and finally lost the war together with the Austrians. The Ottomans were also involved. In fact, they also took part in this war for the same reasons of inferiority complex. The Ottoman empire has shrunk a lot and the Ottomans thought that their empire had become much too small. So areas should be recaptured. Off to war. The problem was that they were on the losing side and then shrink a lot instead of expanding like the Germans and Austrians shrink a lot too. Then in addition to the inferiority complexes of their small size compared to the empires of the world, the Germans then also had the inferiority complex of being the losers of the great war. This inferiority complex was really unhealthy for the Germans and for Europe. Because for the Germans it was again time for the next wars for to conquer territories again where the inferiority complex was then additionally extremely increased by a grotesque racism with a megalomaniacal feeling of superiority against everyone. The result of this ludicrous inferiority complex was 55 million deaths as a result of various genocides and various wars. Whereby, if one looks more closely, the Austrians, as a voluntary part of Germany, were once again involved in the the inferiority complex madness. This time The Turks, the former Ottomans, were smarter than that and didn't take part in this the inferiority complex madness. In any case, it was really the case that the two world wars were actually fought because ofabsurd inferiority complexes.

@@IoachimSavianPopovici don't believe this, this is propaganda, we didn't wanna conquer them, we had to defeat the Bolsheviks. they even featured anti romanian quotes in the video. i suggest you try a book or even Wikipedia than this. it's been a trend in the past few years to spread anti romanian propaganda on the internet. they were completely impartial, and portrayed us as literal thieves are you joking.

@@im_so_bored3896 I don't know... it seemed OK to go there, from the video, except for communist who, of course, hate us for it, but the video says that the actual occupation of the country didn't go so well. If we did everything by the book, that's great, but, if we made any mistakes, I want to know, cause that would explain why some people have resentment towards us

@@IoachimSavianPopovici yeah fair enough, idk to me they seem to be quite biased. i don;t even know why i care, i'm not a nationalist, i'm quite a progressive person but there comes a point where i too have had enough of ppl bashing on romanians as a people group.

It wasn't landlocked when part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when you think that the end of WW1 is deemed to be 11 November 1918 in the West whereas the whole of Eastern Europe was locked in territorial squabbles which still continue to some extent today. An excellent presentation.

I love the video but for one innaccuracy: this conflict was after the end of the great war!

Oh finally an episode on Hungary! Awsome job, I am very very impressed Jesse by this work of yours! I don't think anybody else could sum up these happenings better from a view of a non-Hungarian historian, than you! Btw Jesse I'll iron all your shirts twice for each occasion just give me a job at RTH 🤣

Haha, I'll keep that generous offer in mind!

It's funny how this was supposed to be the final war and now dozens of wars were raging on after it ended

A great presentation. Thank you. RS. Canada

Thus channel is amazing.

I'm going to say this in every one of your videos, but your pronounciation of French is excellent. Félicitations pour votre travail, mon cher ! Hungary and Romania, you're both wonderful peoples, take care of yourselves.

"miserable little nation of Romania" I guess the Austrians still love this western phrase in 2022... but this arogance only confirms the real power of the underdogs.

DEAR JESSE , I`M THINKING HOW COME THAT YOU BECAME SUCH AN EXPERT IN ROMANIAN AND HUNGARIAN HISTORY?

A interessting fact. Béla Kun's grandson Miklós Kun is a famous historian professor in Hungary :)

You spelled the romanian words very well
