Hungarian invasions of Europe

Years: 820 - 973

The Hungarian invasions of Europe take place in the ninth and tenth centuries, at a time when three groups are attacking Europe: the Vikings, the Muslims and the Hungarians.

In the short run, the Hungarians wreak havoc on land and people; in the long run, they are absorbed into the European population and become constituents of European civilization.

“Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce”
