The Hungarian Democratic Republic was an independent republic proclaimed after the collapse of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in 1918.
[edit] History
The Hungarian Democratic Republic was created by the Aster Revolution that started in Budapest on 31 October 1918. Official proclamation of the republic was on 16 November 1918 and its president became Mihály Károlyi. This event also marked independence of Hungarian state which was ruled by Habsburg Monarchy for several centuries. Another revolution from 21 March 1919 marked the end of the Hungarian Democratic Republic and creation of new republic known as Hungarian Soviet Republic.
