Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2275 words) |
 | The name "Hungary" may be influenced by the name of the Hun people, although it probably comes from the name of a later, 7th century state called Onogur (or possibly from the name of the city Ungvár, which was possibly the first major city the magyars occupied). |
| Hungary passed a series of anti-Semitic laws throughot the 1920s and thirties, and some massacres of Jews by Hungarian forces took place in the early part of the Second World War, but Hungary initially resisted large scale deportation of its Jewish population. |
| Hungary's landscape consists mostly of the flat to rolling plains of the Carpathian Basin, with hills and lower mountains to the north along the Slovakian border (highest point: the KĂ©kes at 1,014 m). |

| This is a list of planned cities (sometimes known as planned communities or new towns) by country. |
| Additions to this list should be cities whose overall form (as opposed to individual neighborhoods or expansions) has been determined in large part in advance on a drawing board, or which were planned to a degree which is unusual for their time and place. |
| It is modelled on Italian renaissance theories of the 'ideal city' and built by the architect Bernardo Morando. |
