 Hungary, landlocked in
eastern Europe, is bordered
by seven countrys and divided
almost in half by the massive
Danube River.Once one of the
largest kingdoms
in Europe, it suffered through
many centuries of invasions,
unwanted occupations,
two World Wars and the
Communist Party.
Recently a free-market
economy has emerged;
Hungary joined NATO in 1999,
and will join the European
Union (EU), in 2004.
The country's crown jewel is
the dazzling capital city of
Budapest, known for
its architectural style,
amazingly diverse
restaurants, Gypsy music and
friendly people.
