Plus, there are many many excellent Hungarian craftsmen here who'd need the work. Great quote that, George - absolutely spot on. And Bob, totally. I think most neutral historians agree that too much land was taken from Hungary and that it was a move to smash up the old Empire as much as possible rather than a just act in the name of punishment and self-determination. Having said that, the old Empire was filled (in most of the parts taken) with majorities of non-Hungarians, who had resisted all attempts at Magyarisation and who understandable wanted their own governments, which had<br />previously been denied them. Transylvania is kinda the special case as, unlike with the Slavs, there is no real evidence that the Romanians were here before the Hungarians. Would be great to talk to you more, George - have you got a blog? But I'll stop now or I'll get carried away.... :-)Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-30224329119484337842011-11-04T00:26:16.506+01:002011-11-04T00:26:16.506+01:00Courtesy of Peter Norvig (http://www.norvig.com/qu...Courtesy of Peter Norvig (http://www.norvig.com/quotations.html)<br /><br />When I face an issue of great import that cleaves both constituents and colleagues, I always take the same approach.
