HUNGARY DURING WORLD WAR II IN THE LIGHT OF NEWSPAPERS SLOVENEC AND JUTRO

V diplomskem delu je prikazana madžarska država, ki je med drugo svetovno vojno bila pod velikim vplivom nacistične Nemčije. V tistem času bi lahko Madžarsko označili kot satelitsko državo, ki pa je hotela ohraniti svojo samostojnost in neodvisnost, vendar neuspešno. Nesrečen splet okoliščin in premajhna odločnost madžarskega političnega vrha je omogočila, da je Nemčija uresničila svoje cilje na Madžarskem, se pravi popoln nadzor nad državo. Cilj diplomskega dela je dokazati, da je bila Madžarska satelitska država Nemčije, četudi se je madžarski politični vrh temu močno upiral. Nacionalizem, ki je bil tako kot v Nemčiji, kot tudi na Madžarskem, zelo izrazit, je vplival na madžarsko notranjo politiko, gospodarstvo in posledično na življenje madžarskih Židov, ki so bili med drugo svetovno vojno izpostavljeni diskriminaciji in holokavstu. Na vojaškem področju se je madžarska vojska udeležila bojev v aprilski vojni in kasneje še v vojni proti Sovjetski zvezi.During World War II, the Hungarian state was under a great influence of the Nazi Germany. Hungary was as a satellite state which tried to remain its autonomy and independence. However, it failed. Due to an unfortunate turn of events and the indecisiveness of the Hungarian political leadership, the Germans could realize their objectives in Hungary, i.e. complete control of the state. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that Hungary was a German satellite state, even though the political leadership in Hungary tried to resist. Nationalism, which was almost as powerful in Hungary as it was in Germany, had an enormous influence on the Hungarian domestic policy, economy and also on the lives of the Hungarian Jews, who were exposed to discrimination and holocaust. The Hungarian military was quite active during World War II. It took action in the April War and later against the Soviet Union
