Economy and Major Industries
Hungary is located in Central Europe, and has land rich with minerals, natural resources, geographical features and circumstances, and other factors that affect the income, output, and the economy in general. Most of its lower classes are made up of farmers that produce the food that is exported and used, and miners and “factory people” produce all of the manufactured goods.
History
Hungary farming and agriculture has always been the same - the common folk produced all of the clothing, food and trade goods, and people had been mining in Hungary since the late 19th century, however iron and steel production have been fairly new(starting after WW2), considering that Hungary has had a thousand years of history. Aluminum output has also been something that happened after World War 2, but because aluminum is much cheaper to produce than iron(mostly because you need to mix it with certain other metals to make steel). Also, lately Hungary, under pressure by the USSR, joined the Eastern Bloc, a group of countries that are not entirely communist in the government, but still have communist ideas, and because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Hungary was allowed to use democratic ideas more freely.
Agriculture
Hungary is flowing with natural resources and geographical features. The 94 thousand square kilometers that make up one percent of Europe’s total area is three fourths plains, a fifth foothills, and a twentieth bodies of water or high, towering mountains. Also, 19% of the foothills are forests. In all this land, the farmers raise cows, pigs(or hogs), birds(poultry), chickens, and sheep. The Hungarian Grey ...

...e(1) Hungarian forint equals 0.0045 dollars - if you do the math, that’s 223 forints, which is considered a lot there.
Tourism at Hungary is considered world class. Because of Hungary’s “geostrategic” position(above many hot water springs), tourists are visiting the famous spas and saunas occasionally, because of the perfected hot water bath and massage culture. In only 2011, Hungary was the 24th most visited country, out of 200 countries.
To conclude, Hungary’s economy, though a little slow industry-wise but strong agriculture-wise has had many difficulties and times of hardship with declines(as Mr.Gifford says in his stock analysis briefing), and sometimes, shows growth in production rates, especially now, because the financial crisis in 2008 is wearing off, but all in all, economists are predicting the best for my country, and let’s all hope they’re accurate.
Another point that the author, Robert Nemes, uses to support his thesis is the education situation in Germany. One of the most important issues for women was education; women were not allowed in Universities. Nemes claims that the discussions about this topic resulted in the need for a teacher-training institute for women. Nemes introduces Andras Fay and tells us that he was an advocate for education for women but that he “sought to keep women out of the expanding public sphere”. This tells us that even people that supported women were skeptical about letting them take control of their own lives, which puts Hungarians in a very difficult situation.
At the same time, the local agricultural economy was experiencing a deep economic depression due to the severe droughs that had occured throughout the past decade. The loss of crops cut out the average farmers'/planters' main food source as well a...
The seventeenth century was undeniably a period of great division, war and turmoil for Hungary. After the events of the previous century, Hungary remained divided into three distinct areas. The largest was Ottoman Hungary, under the direct control of Constantinople, which encompassed the south and south-east of Hungary. Second, there was the Eastern Hungarian Kingdom founded by János Zápolyai in 1526, who after the defeat of the Hungarian forces at the First Battle of Mohács sought the support of Sultan Suleiman I to be crowned King of Hungary by a rival faction of the nobility and became the Sultan’s vassal. After 1571, with the coronation of István Báthory, this Kingdom became the Principality of Transylvania which was semi-autonomous with Habsburgs and Ottomans vying for control. Lastly there was Royal Hungary, the only part of Hungary still under Habsburg control in this period. It consisted of the western and north-western areas that had been secured by Ferdinand I after being declared King of Hungary by the pro-Habsburg part of the noblity in 1526. This division remained the status quo into the seventeenth century. In this essay, it will be argued that due to this division the Habsburgs found it impossible to consolidate power in Hungary as well as a variety of other factors such as, confessional divisions in Hungary opposed to the Catholic dynasty, Habsburg priorities resting in religious conflict in Germany and securing influence in the Mediterranean from Ottoman and French fleets, Habsburg involvement in the Thirty Years War and the revived Franco-Ottoman Alliance. All these factors together ensured that the Habsburg would not gain control of Hungary until 1699.
The country of Austria is a landlocked country located in central Europe, just north of Italy and Slovenia. Austria also borders Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, and Lichtenstein. In comparison to the United States, Austria is about the size of Maine at 83,870 square kilometers. The terrain includes mountains, or the Alps, in the South and West, and flat land in the North and East (“Austria”). Mountains cover about three-fourths of the country. Austria is also known for its many valleys, lakes, and forests (Beller). The climate is temperate, with moderate summers and cold winters. Both seasons receive regular rain, except for frequent snow in the Alps during winter. The majority of the population lives in the Northeast flatland due to the poor soil and steepness of the mountain region. The Danube River runs through the northern part of the country with the capital, Vienna, on its banks (“Austria”).

Poland is a country located in Central Europe. The official capitol is Warsaw, and the major language spoken is Polish, including Russian, German, Byelorussian, and Kashubian. Poland has been known for being a strong, diverse country struggling for independence, and still remaining a strong nation standing up for its right and existence. Also known for being a wondrous country with a magnificent land, culture, and history, Poland has rich background and is definitely a country worth learning about.
Hungary is in Central Europe, Northwest of Romania. It was “a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until its collapse during World War I” (Factbook). After World War II, the country fell to Stalin’s regime. The announcement of Hungary’s removal in the Warsaw Pact caused a vast riot. The Hungarian Revolution was a spontaneous nationwide revolt against the government of the Hungarian People's Republic and its Soviet-forced policies. It was the first major threat to Soviet control since the USSR's forces drove out the Nazis at the end of World War II. In spite of the failure of the revolution, it was exceedingly significant, and came to play a position in the downfall of the Soviet Union years later.
When animals overthrew the men, the governance of whom had long been oppressing them, they finally broke the chains of perpetual slavery. They no longer had to work extremely hard in the excruciating conditions solely for the benefits of cruel and greedy men, but for the benefits of themselves. They attained the freedom they were desperately striving for. The times of abuse and maltreatment came to its end. In these new hope-inspiring conditions the animals set up to establish the farm in which there would be no injustice and suffering, but it would be the place where everybody is equal and happy. They knew that establishing such farm would be extremely difficult, nevertheless the thoughts of giving in never crossed their minds. They gradually, step by step started to overcome all the obstacles and hardships on their way to prosperity. Those hardships made clear that the pigs were the most appropriate for a position of a leader. Indeed, the pigs were most intelligent, it was them who were guiding the animals and giving effective advises in farming. Undoubtedly, had it not been for them, the animals would have starved to death not being able to solve the problems regarding ploughing and harvesting. Under their governance the farm was thriving, there were no quarrels and arguments, every animal was happy and contented with their lives. Unfortunately, it did not last for long, the society which was supposed to be just, and where everybody is equal, transformed into the tyrannical society, where everybody lived under strong oppression and in total misery. The reasons why this transformation happened are manifold. This paper will show the main reasons of this.
The Poles who were West Slavic people established Poland in the late 5th century. History was first written in the 10th century about Poland when the Polish nation changed into Christianity in 966. Prince Mieszko I was the first ruler and his son, Boleslaw I, was the first king of Poland. This established the Piast dynasty that lasted from 966 to 1370. During the Piast dynasty there where Piast kings with a lot of rivalries from nobility and Bohemian and Germanic invasions that made Poland a very troubled country. The last king of the dynasty was Casimir III, crowned in 1333. He extended Polish influence eastward to Lithuania and Russia. He acquired Pomerania from the Teutonic Knights and shifted borders between Poland and Germany. During his 37-year reign a university was established, laws were made more organized, castles grew strong, and minority groups were given protection (Grolier).
South Central Farm was a 14-acre plot of land that was ran and operated as a fully functional urban farm. It provided much needed support to the community around the farm, that consisted mostly of lower-income and minorities. The farmers, who ran the largest urban city farm at the time, used it for monetary benefit as well as psychological benefit to the community. By growing their own steady supply go goods, many who would not have access to these products normally, benefited immensely from the farm’s existence. If the farmer’s had had the monetary means for remaining on the land, the closing down of the farm could have been avoided.
Well known for a long time on international scale, the Romanian hospitality proved to be, over the years and quite often, not only a characteristic of the Romanian people but, using the touristic language, a promoting instrument of the national offer on the international market, too. The idea of developing the tourism in Romania is based on this characteristic of the Romanians, and on the beauty of the Romanian village and landscape.

Tourism is an important and intricate element to society. It affects economical, social, cultural and environmental elements. Tourism can be argued to have a negative impact on the environment and decrease our already depleting resources, but tourism can also be argued to be a major contributor to strengthening economies, spread cultural traditions and improve people’s lives.
