This country, from 1867 to 1918, was one of two component parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Declared a republic in 1918, the Republic of Revolutionary Councils was created on March 21, 1919, but had a short existence. The National Assembly. which was called together at the beginning of 1920, decided in favor of the reinstitution of the kingdom, and elected Admiral Horthy as Regent on March 1, 1920. At the end of World War II Hungary again became a republic. This was changed to a People’s Republic by parliamentary resolution on August 20, 1949.
