Wrong. The Hungarians reverted to being a kingdom in March 1920. Surely a nation that hated the Habsburgs would never have given up being a republic in an attempt to return a Habsburg to his rightful throne.
I am a patriotic American, but I do not worship the nation I love; I worship God. Only God is perfect; therefore, an honest American must admit that occasionally our country makes mistakes. Our entry into the 1914-1917 Suicide of the West was one such occasion. I blame Woodrow W. Wilson, the internationalist Democrat and the Jimmy Carter of his day, for that tragic error.
The Hungarians loved the Austrians so much they were responsible for creating the Ausgleich [compromise] of 1867, because they could not stand to be under Austria's direct rule - which in reality was the beginning of the end for this Frankenstein monster of an empire.
