világháborúban

Világháborúban refers to the Hungarian term for "in a world war". This term would be used in historical or political contexts to describe events, consequences, or experiences that occurred during the First World War (1914-1918) or the Second World War (1939-1945). Hungary, as a participant in both conflicts, experienced significant upheaval and hardship during these global events.

During the First World War, Hungary was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which fought against the Allied Powers. The war led to immense casualties, economic strain, and ultimately the dissolution of the empire. The experiences of Hungarians during this period are often discussed in terms of military service, home front struggles, and the subsequent territorial losses stipulated by the Treaty of Trianon.

The Second World War saw Hungary again allied with Germany and fighting against the Allied Powers. This conflict brought even greater devastation, including widespread destruction, the Holocaust, and occupation by Soviet forces. The phrase "világháborúban" in this context encompasses the period of war, the actions of the Hungarian military, the suffering of the civilian population, and the profound political and social transformations that followed. Understanding events described as "világháborúban" requires examining Hungary's specific role and its multifaceted impact on the nation.
