The course is structured听chronologically, thus each weekly topic will examine a particular period in Hungary鈥檚 history, beginning with the status of Hungary within the Habsburg Empire at the end of the eighteenth century and concluding with the fall of communism in Hungary in 1989 and the first free elections in 1990.
