This study examines three early 19th century texts that aimed to advocate preservation of the usage of Latin in Hungary against the background of the proceeding magyarizing tendencies of the period. One contemporaneous anti-Latin polemical response and several minor relevant literary testimonies are included in the discussion, too. In the early 19th century, Latin still played an important role in the multinational Hungarian state not only as a literary language but also in administrative, education and social life. The long-prevailing Latin culture produced in the mentioned territory a specific linguistic and cultural situation: during the relatively short period of the national movement comprising a few decades, it was impossible to integrate the cultural heritage of the previous centuries that was preponderantly Latin, for the language situation in Hungary changed considerably in a very short time. In this way, the cultural continuity, or at least some aspects of it, was interrupted and this state of affairs has been since carried on and its consequences are felt even today. Therefore, the author proposes research into the 19th century Latin literature of the Slovak (or Hungarian) provenance which, he believes, will help define the origins of the modern Slovak culture.

The author of the paper presents an open letter addressed to Count Michael Károlyi, published in 1914 as one of the important manifestations of American Slovaks against Magyarization prior to World War I. The letter is published both in the English and Slovak languages. In addition, the author explains the context in which the letter was written, its goals, the response of the Hungarian or Magyar side and its importance for the further development of the liberation movement.

This article summarizes the results of 5 years of research on the historical peripheries of Hungary between 1910 and 2010. The identification of peripheral zones in Hungary in 1910 – which geographers failed to investigate thoroughly – contributes to the assessment of mistargeted regional development planning policies in the last hundred years. It also triggered debates, because many of the backward areas coincided with regions dominated by ethnic minorities, thus strengthening the opinion of the historians of the successor states that Austria-Hungary had oppressed its national minorities. The first part of the article summarizes the former interpretations of Trianon, misunderstandings emerging from debates between the different national historiographies. The second part deals with the internal debate in Hungary regarding the interpretation of Trianon. The third part of the article goes further and, by identifying the changes in regional differences in 1930 and in 2010, evaluates the development policies of the successor states. As the successor states were driven by the same convictions and pursued similar policies toward zones inhabited by minorities as Hungary did, the differences did not disappear. The recent situation shows that there were remarkable shifts in the extension of backward zones and the question naturally arises when this process began. Using the census data of the 1930s we analyse whether some of these changes observable in 2010 can be traced back to WWII, and if yes, whether these were the direct consequences of the new borders drawn in 1920 or, on the contrary, went back to earlier processes under Hungarian rule.

Kollar's idea of the ethnic and linguistic unity of Slavs was affected by his schematic concept and subjectivism. His idea of a common standard language for Slovaks and Czechs was based on the principles of the Slavonic literary reciprocity. Kollar's postulate of the common literary language for Slovaks and Czechs did not, however, lead to a statement of ethnic fusion between Slovaks and Czechs. Jan Kollar himself was an ardent Slovak patriot and defender of Slovaks against the increasing pressure of Magyarization (Hungarization).
