Since then, grappling with the loss of more than two-thirds of their territory and people, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Hungarian-people\">Hungarians<\/a> have looked to a past that was greater than the present as their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/collective\">collective<\/a> psyche suffered from the so-called \u201cTrianon Syndrome.\u201d The syndrome was widespread prior to 1945; it was suppressed during Soviet domination (1945\u201390); and it reemerged during independence in 1990, when it took on a different form. The modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/nation-state\">country<\/a> appears to be split into two irreconcilable factions: those who are still concerned about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Treaty-of-Trianon\">Trianon<\/a> and those who would like to forget it.

Linguistically surrounded by alien nations, Hungarians felt isolated through much of their history.

This made them eager to prove themselves and also defensive about lagging behind Western developments elsewhere. Their geographical position often forced them to fight various Eastern invaders, and, as a result, they viewed themselves as defenders of Western Christianity. In that role, they felt that the West owed them something, and when, in times of crisis, special treatment was not forthcoming (e.g., Trianon in 1920), they judged the West as ungrateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cultural guide to Budapest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn about distinctive features of Budapest, from St. Stephen&#8217;s Basilica, Andr\u00e1ssy Avenue, and the Great Market Hall to the Jewish Quarter and the Sz\u00e9chenyi Baths.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Hungary\/images-videos\">See all videos for this article<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today Hungary is wholly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Budapest\">Budapest<\/a>-centred.

During the 20th century, many talented Hungarians emigrated, particularly to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/United-States\">United States<\/a>. Among them were leading scientists who played a defining role in the emergence of American atomic discovery and the computer age. The abundance of these scientists, mathematicians, economists, anthropologists, musicians, and artists\u2014among them a dozen Nobel laureates\u2014prompted Laura Fermi, writer and wife of Italian American physicist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/biography\/Enrico-Fermi\">Enrico Fermi<\/a>, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/dictionary\/speculate\">speculate<\/a> about \u201cthe mystery of the Hungary talent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Land<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.britannica.com\/59\/1459-050-059316F9\/Hungary-map-features-locator.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.britannica.com\/59\/1459-050-059316F9\/Hungary-map-features-locator.jpg\" alt=\"Physical features of Hungary\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.britannica.com\/59\/1459-050-059316F9\/Hungary-map-features-locator.jpg\">Physical features of Hungary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landlocked and lying approximately between latitudes 45\u00b0 and 49\u00b0 N and longitudes 16\u00b0 and 23\u00b0 E, Hungary shares a border to the north with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Slovakia\">Slovakia<\/a>, to the northeast with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Ukraine\">Ukraine<\/a>, to the east with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Romania\">Romania<\/a>, to the south with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Serbia\">Serbia<\/a> (specifically, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Vojvodina\">Vojvodina<\/a> region) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Croatia\">Croatia<\/a>, to the southwest with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Slovenia\">Slovenia<\/a>, and to the west with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Austria\">Austria<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dominating the relief are the great lowland expanses that make up the core of Hungary.

The Little Alfold is separated from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Great-Alfold\">Great Alfold<\/a> (Great Hungarian Plain, or Nagy Magyar Alf\u00f6ld) by a low mountain system extending across the country from southwest to northeast for a distance of 250 miles (400 km).

Four types of surface may be distinguished: floodplains, composed of river alluvium; alluvial fans, wedge-shaped features deposited at the breaks of slopes where rivers emerge from the mountain rim; alluvial fans overlain by sand dunes; and plains buried under loess, deposits of windblown material derived from the continental interior. These lowlands range in elevation from about 260 to 660 feet (80 to 200 metres) above sea level, with the lowest point at 256 feet (78 metres), on the southern edge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Szeged\">Szeged<\/a>, along the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Tisza-River\">Tisza River<\/a>.

During these phases, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/dictionary\/discharge\">discharge<\/a> is up to 10 times greater than river levels recorded during the low-water periods of autumn and winter.

At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Szolnok\">Szolnok<\/a>, peak discharges 50 times greater than average have been recorded. Devastating floods have occurred on the Danube, the Tisza, and their tributaries. About 2,500 miles (4,000 km) of levees have been built to protect against floods. The relatively dry climate of the central and eastern areas of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Great-Alfold\">Great Alfold<\/a> has necessitated the construction of large-scale irrigation systems, mostly along the Tisza River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.britannica.com\/46\/195446-050-5AC7FA8B\/Tihany-Abbey-village-Benedictine-Lake-Balaton-shore.jpg\">Tihany Abbey on the shore of Lake Balaton, Hungary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tihany Abbey, a Benedictine monastery in the village of Tihany, on the north shore of Lake Balaton, Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are few lakes in Hungary, and most are small. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Lake-Balaton\">Lake Balaton<\/a>, however, is the largest freshwater lake in central <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Europe\">Europe<\/a>, covering 231 square miles (598 square km). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Neusiedler-Lake\">Neusiedler Lake<\/a>\u2014called Lake Fert\u0151 in Hungary\u2014lies on the Austrian border and was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/dictionary\/designated\">designated<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/World-Heritage-site\">World Heritage site<\/a> by UNESCO in 2001.

The mean annual temperature is about 50 \u00b0F (10 \u00b0C). Average temperatures range from the mid-20s to the low 30s F (about \u22124 to 0 \u00b0C) in January and from the mid-60s to the low 70s F (about 18 to 23 \u00b0C) in July. Recorded temperature extremes are 109 \u00b0F (43 \u00b0C) in summer and \u221229 \u00b0F (\u221234 \u00b0C) in winter. In the lowlands, precipitation generally ranges from 20 to 24 inches (500 to 600 mm), rising to 24 to 31 inches (600 to 800 mm) at higher elevations. The central and eastern areas of the Great Alfold are the driest parts of the country, and the southwestern uplands are the wettest.
