If I guess well, your father left Yugoslavia, and married in Germany?
Then you could understand, that the artificial political creations do not have long lifes in history...
Nicht wahr?

Ah, but it's never as easy as it seems on websites written from just one point of view, is it?
You don't mention that in many of these parts of greater Hungary, Hungarians were a minority and the majority of Croats, Romanians, Slovaks, Yugoslavs, etc didn't want to remain part of Hungary. (Yes, I know lots of Hungarians were marooned behind these new borders, but it doesn't gainsay the main claim.)
Also, recall what happened in the 1930s and 1940s when the fascist Horthy regime (allied to Hitler's Nazis) took many of these areas back by force - you don't go into much detail on that aspect, eh?
Attempts to change European borders almost always result in wars - I say just live with it

Hi five countries - why don't you set your flag counter to more than 12 (e.g. 100)? You've got so many countries visited but only 12 flags show on your site?

Re: Would you like your country cut into small pieces?
Makes me think of my own country: Belgium. Due to the political crisis more and more people are talking about splitting up the country into two parts (Flanders and Walloon) and/or the possibility of those parts joining one of our neighbouring countries because of the languages (Flanders joins The Netherlands & Walloon joins France).
Oh well, in my case it's up to the politicians to decide.
Oh... and visited from Belgium
