világháborút

Világháborút is the Hungarian word for "world war." It most commonly refers to either the First World War (1914-1918) or the Second World War (1939-1945), both of which had significant impacts on Hungary and the surrounding regions. The term can be used in a general sense to discuss global conflicts, but without further context, it is usually understood to mean one of these two major historical events. The scale of these wars, involving numerous countries and resulting in millions of casualties, is what defines them as "world wars." Hungary played a role in both conflicts, experiencing substantial territorial losses after World War I and participating as an Axis power in World War II. Discussions about "világháborút" in Hungarian discourse often involve analyzing the causes, consequences, and historical memory of these devastating global events.
