Regent Of Hungary
The regent of Hungary was a position established in 1446 and renewed in 1920. It was held by Admiral Miklós Horthy until 1944. Under Hungary's constitution there were two regents, one a regent of the ruling house, called the Nádor, and another called "Kormányzó" (which can mean "governor"). As the Entente had banned the legitimate Nádor (kept by a member of House of Habsburg) from taking his place, the choice fell on electing a governor-regent: Admiral Horthy was chosen. Thus, he was regent of the post-World War I state called the Kingdom of Hungary and served as the head of state in the absence of a monarch, while a prime minister served as head of government. Horthy was styled "His Serene Highness the Regent of the Kingdom of Hungary" (Hungarian: ''Ő Főméltósága a Magyar Királyság Kormányzója''). History of the position Historical examples John Hunyadi On the untimely death of Albert in 1439, John Hunyadi was of the opinion that Hungary was best served by a warr ...

Flag Of Hungary
The national flag of Hungary () is a horizontal tricolour (flag), tricolour of red, white and green. In this exact form, it has been the official flag of Hungary since 23 May 1957. The flag's form originates from national republican movements of the 18th and 19th centuries, while its colours are from the Middle Ages. The current Hungarian tricolour flag is the same as the Republicanism_in_the_United_Kingdom#Revolutionary_republicanism,_1800–1848, republican movement flag of the United Kingdom (used since 1816) and the colours in that form were already used at least since the coronation of Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold II in 1790, predating the first use of the Cispadane Republic's tricolour in 1797.

The revolution was not only in opposition against the monarchy but also the Habsburg monarchy, Habsburg Empire, as w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Provisional Government
A provisional government, also called an interim government, an emergency government, a transitional government or provisional leadership, is a temporary government formed to manage a period of transition, often following state collapse, revolution, civil war, or some combination thereof. Provisional governments generally come to power in connection with a grave crisis that has caused the previous government to suddenly and irreversibly collapse, such as economic collapse, civil war, Debellatio, defeat in a foreign war, revolution, or the death of a long-serving authoritarian ruler. Questions of democratic transition and state-building are often fundamental to the formation and policies of such governments. Provisional governments maintain Power (social and political), power until a new government can be appointed by a regular political process, which is generally an election. They may be involved with defining the legal structure of subsequent regimes, guidelines related to huma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diet (assembly)
In politics, a diet ( ) is a formal deliberative assembly or legislature. The term is used for some assemblies such as the German Imperial Diet (the general assembly of the Imperial Estates of the Holy Roman Empire), as well as a designation for modern-day legislative bodies of certain countries and states such as the National Diet of Japan, or the German Bundestag, the Federal Diet. Etymology The term (also in the nutritional sense) might be derived from Medieval Latin ', meaning both "parliamentary assembly" and "daily food allowance", from earlier Latin , possibly from the Greek ("arbitration"), or transcribing Classical Greek (), meaning "way of living", and hence also "diet" (regular food), "regular (daily) work". Through a false etymology, reflected in Latin spelling change in medieval Europe that replaced the ''ae'' with ''e'', the word ''diaeta'' came to be associated with another Latin word , which means "day".

He was the posthumous son of Albert of Habsburg with Elizabeth of Luxembourg. Albert had bequeathed all his realms to his future son on his deathbed, but only the estates of Austria accepted his last will.
