The Kingdom of Hungary (Hungarian: Magyar Királyság), sometimes just Hungary, was a monarchy in Central Europe that existed for nearly a thousand years between 1000 and 1918.[1] It came back during the Interwar period from 1920 to 1944 as a regency.[2] It was created when Stephen I of Hungary was crowned in Esztergom in the year 1000. The first monarchy collapsed in 1918 because of the First World War, and the regency was liberated[a] by the Soviet Union in 1944 during the end of the Second World War.[2]
