The word retrocede

The word retrocede was correct in the article about the Hungarian language. Hungary did own those territories. I suggest you familiarize yourself with history. (HUN)Villy 18:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your advice, I'll give you an advice in turn: try to familiarize yourself with the meaning of "cede" and "retrocede". :)

Hungary did own those territories but this doesn't really matter as both "cede" and "retrocede" means submitting your territories to other countries. But "retrocede" implies giving _back_ to their previous owners which doesn't suit this situation as the other countries (themselves not having been existed before) were no previous owners of those territories. E.g. Germany had to retrocede Alsace after WWII since they annexed this territory while in turn Hungary never annexed Transylvania (before WWI, of course), it was simply theirs. Therefore I took the liberty to correct it to "cede" so as to clarify things. But you can have it your way if you're so upset about it.
