Relations of Czechoslovakia and Hungary through the years 1918-1939 (Tendencies in the development of Czechoslovak-Hungarian relations through the years 1918-1939)
Pejša, Robert ; Chmel, Rudolf (advisor) ; Kiss, Csaba Gy (referee) ; Randák, Jan (referee)

Even though there was widespread development in industry and culture at the end of 19th century, the situation in Hungary was very complicated. The main problem was the relationship of Hungarians within the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, changes in that society, and the situation of national minorities and the working-class. During the celebrations of the millennial anniversary, these discussed topics were overlooked while everybody was occupied with the festivities. Hungarians tried to present their glorious past, their country's successful economy, industry, and culture to prove that Hungary was the foremost nation in the Carpathian Basin. The Hungarian parliament passed a law to celebrate the millennium that ordered, for example, the building of monuments around Hungary and the founding of The Museum of Fine Arts and 400 elementary schools.
