The Empire Is Round
After the Egyptian national football team defeated Hungary in the 1924 Olympic tournament, Hungarian sports journalists, fans, and players developed an obsession about the African country. In the following decade, various Hungarian club teams and the national side visited Cairo and Alexandria to play exhibition matches but also to enjoy luxurious holidays in an ‘exotic’ setting. For Egyptian and Hungarian officials and governments, these encounte…
The Cult of Our Lady of Fátima, Portuguese Colonialism, and Migration, c. 1930–c. 1980
Emerging in 1917 amidst the anxieties of World War I, the Cult of Our Lady of Fátima began with a vision witnessed by three shepherd children in rural Portugal. News of the apparition quickly spread, drawing hundreds, then thousands of pilgrims to the Cova da Iria. This potent symbol of faith soon transcended its origin, migrating in the form of venerated statues and dedicated shrines that sprouted across the globe. Particularly intertwined with …
The Trial of Cardinal József Mindszenty from the Perspective of Seventy Years
When Russian tanks brutally invaded Ukrainian territory in February 2022 and the leaders of the country decided to heroically resist, memories of Soviet occupations and brave resistance appeared. One of the most famous and bravest fighters against the Stalinist take-over and radical transformation of his country was the Hungarian cardinal, Archbishop József Mindszenty, Primate of the Catholic Church since 1945, who was arrested and put on a show …

The Cult of Our Lady of Fátima-Modern Catholic Devotion in an Age of Nationalism, Colonialism, and Migration
In 1917, in the context of extreme anxiety of a rural Catholic population during a period of war, revolutionary upheaval, and anticlerical politics, the apparition of St Mary to three children near the Portuguese village of Fátima stirred up emotions that have created a cult that is still attracting hundreds of thousands of pilgrims each year and that has found followers all over the world. How did this happen? One has to look at the history of c…
Anticommunism and Détente
Cardinal Mindszenty was head of the Catholic Church of Hungary between 1945 and 1974, but had been imprisoned between 1949 and 1956 and hiding in the US embassy in Budapest from 1956 to 1971. In 1971, Mindszenty left the country and settled in Vienna after long negotiations between the Vatican and the Hungarian communist government. When he visited the Hungarian diaspora and non-Hungarian followers in the West between 1972 and his death in 1975, …

András Fejérdy. Pressed by a Double Loyalty
Only recently have the 1960s-era policy changes in the relationship between the Vatican and the Communist regimes of Eastern Europe, which had been dubbed the Vatican Ostpolitik, become a field of studies for historians. Before that, they were a hotly contested topic among Cold War antagonists, who were fighting over the question of whether the Vatican had become “too soft” on Communism after Pope Pius XII passed away in 1958. The new research sh…
Heléna Tóth. An Exiled Generation
More than one and a half centuries later, the names of the famous exiled politicians of the European revolutions of 1848/1849, like Lajos Kossuth and Friedrich Hecker, are still known in their home countries. At the time, they were also celebrities in the liberal part of the world, in cities such as London, Turin, and New York. Heléna Tóth’s An Exiled Generation: German and Hungarian Refugees of Revolution, 1848–1871, however, achieves merit for …
Mark Pittaway. The Workers' State
A posthumously published book on labor history, a subject unpopular for decades, must seem at first like a tragedy rather than a groundbreaking academic achievement. Yet Mark Pittaway's The Workers' State is not only a thorough and well-written study of early communist Hungary; it also represents a major contribution to our understanding of that country in particular and of postwar East-Central Europe more generally. Shortly before passing away a…
