Non à Trianon

01-07-2021

Media: Here's 101-year-old "Trianon" in Franco-German broadcasting company Arte's trilingual version. Acknowledge whether or not from a linguistic perspective what is Europe's tragedy, both now and in a "forgotten" historical perspective. Let's put it progressively and be aware of a (West) European hiatus.


 „Ungarns Trauma. Europas Problem?“  (ORIGINAL, verfügbar 22.6.21 - 22.7.21)

« Le traité de Trianon, un traumatisme hongrois » - traduction 🇫🇷 (ENTENTE)

"Hungary's Trauma" - translation into 🇬🇧 (ENTENTE)



QUINTESSENTIAL IS: "Europas Problem". HOW MORE INSIGHTFUL IS THE ORIGINAL GERMAN-LANGUAGE TITLE. HOW MUCH MORE REMOTE FROM HISTORICAL VERACITY AND A EUROPEAN IDENTITY REPRESENTING HISTORIOGRAPHY ARE THE DEVIATED, ENTENTISTISCHE* VERSIONS


Yes, it seems that correct translations are deemed problematic for French and British audiences. Together with you we would like to address the intriguing question – why?

Zitat aus „Ungarns Trauma. Europa's Problem?“: „Es wurde nicht aufgearbeitet, ...“


Not to be disregarded: Here is a Hungarian view on today and history.


June 4, 1920. Five months after the Treaty of Versailles implementation (10.I.1920), Britain, its Imperial Delegation and G. Clemenceau dictate the Treaty of Trianon (Versailles, no negotiations, "no deal") on HUNGARY. In between is the U.S. Senate endorsement of its November 1919 opting-out vote (19.III.1920). Cartoon: Who were the men in the suit, who actually stabbed the angle of peace? Why were they left "anonymous" by the (British) cartoonist?
