Semester Topic
Posted by mm5rg on February 18, 2008
Our semester topic is the different political ideas and methods in Austria and Hungary. These neighboring states have many things in common, including that for 51 years the two were a dual-monarchy. However, the major difference is that after WWII, the Soviet Union allowed Austria to become a democratic state whereas in Hungary troops were deployed to ensure that Communist leaders won elections. Since the fall of Communism, Hungary has been considered a developing nation, and Austria is established. I want to compare these countries political methods since the fall of Communism.
