secretary under him but fled away, and then despairingly tried
            to  organize  forces  for  the  fights  along  the  Ipoly  river  in  the
            north  against  the  invading  forces,  as  well  as  laid  a  hand  to

            Feudal public administration was unable to change, and it was
            unable  to  keep  order,  while  a  strengthening  political  extreme
            wing  aimed  for  a  takeover  with  a  false  ideology.  “Trap  of
            nations” came to life, while people escaped from the “Prison of
            nations.” This latter claim was shouted away by Robert William
            Seton Watson and his followers, in context of the first real and
            efficient media war before WWI, falling for the resentment of
            the  Czech,  or  taking  advantage  of  the  situation  that  a  dualist

            monarchy was  formed instead of a trialist one  in  1867.  The
            Austro-Hungarian  Empire  had  fallen  apart  and  tiny  country-
            groupings  arose  in  place  of  it:  Czechoslovakia,  Yugoslavia,
            Romania,  and  Hungary,  all  of  them  lacking  any  significant
            force or influence.
            The alien power that came into being in our country over the
            century was invisible, to the point of being unbelievable, and
            this power was ready to overthrow the country. It wanted to fill
            the governmental vacuum. This power could develop thanks to
            a  pompous,  powerless  and  naïve  politician,  Mihály  Károlyi,
            who had paved the way for a political milieu that rose to power
            after  WWI  so  that  all  the betrayals  and  killings  could  evolve
            and  interdependence  could  end.  This  have  determined
            Hungarian power struggles for more than a hundred years, and
            we  cannot  be  sure  when  inner  solidarity  will  develop  once
            again, or when will people find each other via their interests at
            home  and  abroad.  Liberal and  communist left  became  whole.
            They are ready to kill in order to force their ideas on everyone
            thus renouncing and betraying the foundations of liberalism –
            free  fulfilment  that  should  be  available  for  everyone  –  in the
            worst possible way. Churchill too admitted that Béla Kun’s and
