We suffer from the same affliction - the irrational love for something that is not our own. I have an excuse; what's yours?

We could spin the topic to connect it to the historical phenomenon of fluid identities - thus making it /his/ worthy. For instance, Hungary would be a perfect example of various people's coming together over time to create the concept of nationhood. Modern Hungarians have the blood of Avars, Slavs, Magyars, Pechenegs, Cumans, Germans, Serbians, Greeks, Armenians, Jews etc.

Why is Hungary so liked? I genuinely don't understand why so many people like Hungary; I do understand why some would like it, but not why so many do.

As an answer... as a Romanian, I'll say Rome.

It has to me a slightly exotic feeling, i mean, they have the whole Turkic/Magyar cavalry tribe thing going, alongside a completely European history, they are unique in a way.

Generally unremarkable history the thumb of the Habsburgs and the Ottomans for hundreds of years. Even before that it has been overshadowed by neighbours in Byzantium, Hungary and Bulgaria.

Well I could dump some of the images I have, if I can sort the more relevant ones.

This one is a crop of a painting of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 / Independence War, depicting a battle between romanians and turks.

>>1893177
Is it unremarkable because it is in general unremarkable, or is it because of unawareness? I personally find the following very interesting:

* Dacia, particularly Burebista's Dacia and Decebalus' Dacia
* The internal interactions in the second Bulgarian Tsardom
* The founding of Wallachia and Moldavia as independent from Hungary
* Mircea cel Bătrân
* Vlad Țepeș; Ștefan cel Mare both provide some interesting history - actually, as interesting trivia, Vlad's grandson avenged his father (Vlad's son) by personally strangling every one of the plotters
* Michael the Brave is very interesting, being the first to rule all of Romania
* Even though after Michael everything started being stale as the Ottomans fully imposed themselves, there is still Brâncoveanu who kickstarted a sort of Romanian renaissance
* Tudor Vladimirescu's 1821 revolt against the Ottomans, concomittent with the greek independence revolt
* Romania's slow 19th century rise to power through clever diplomacy, managing to get guaranteed by most great powers without being split again (check Cuza out btw - Romania wasn't supposed to last after he stopped being Domn, only did because of loopholes we snuck in) and without becoming a dependency of a different power (say... Russia, or A-H)
* as a random tidbit Royal Crown of the Kingdom of Romania was the Steel Crown

I wouldn't call all this "unremarkable". Hungary never managed to become much more after the initial expansion stopped, they failed to do much other than consolidate and eventually only managed to get split up between Austria and the Ottomans. On the other hand the Romanian principalities managed, against the odds, to not get annexed - just compare with Serbia same time period

Same here. Nowadays Mongolia seems to be like a pacified skeleton of what once was a huge empire. Certainly they changed the History of the mankind in several ways.

I'm really into the whole Eurasian history.
Some countries that I am really obsessed with are India, Japan, Russia, and Tibet.

Somehow I ' m also wondering about travelling to Bhutan. Their monarch is called the Dragon King. I cant think about a more based combination of words.
