 With
a land area of 93,030 square kilometers, Hungary is a country in
Central Europe. It measures about 250 kilometers from north to south
and 524 kilometers from east to west. It has 2,258 kilometers of
boundaries, shared with Austria to the west, Serbia, Croatia and
Slovenia to the south and southwest, Romania to the southeast, the
Ukraine to the northeast, and Slovakia to the north.
Hungary's modern borders were first established after World War I
when, by the terms of the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, it lost more
than 71% of what had formerly been the Kingdom of Hungary, 58.5% of
its population, and 32% of the Hungarians. The country secured some
boundary revisions from 1938 to 1941: In 1938 the First Vienna Award
gave back territory from Czechoslovakia, in 1939 Hungary occupied
Carpatho-Ukraine. In 1940 the Second Vienna Award gave back Northern
Transylvania and finally Hungary occupied the Bácska and Muraköz
regions during the Invasion of Yugoslavia. However, Hungary lost
these territories again with its defeat in World War II. After World
War II, the Trianon boundaries were restored with a small revision
that benefited Czechoslovakia.Hungary has a
continental climate, with cold winters and warm to hot summers. The
average annual temperature is about 10 °C (50 °F), in summer 27 to
35 °C (81 to 95 °F), and in winter 0 to −15 °C (32 to 5 °F), with
extremes ranging from about 42 °C (110 °F) in summer to −29 °C (−20
°F) in winter. Average yearly rainfall is about 600 millimetres (24
inches). Distribution and frequency of rainfall are unpredictable.
The western part of the country usually receives more rain than the
eastern part, where severe droughts may occur in summertime. Weather
conditions in the Great Plain can be especially harsh, with hot
summers, cold winters, and scant rainfall.
