Hungary (Hungarian: Magyarország ), officially the Republic of Hungary (Magyar Köztársaság ), is a landlocked country in Central Europe, bordered by Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. Hungary has been a member state of the European Union since May 1 2004.

History


In the time of the Roman Empire, the Romans called the region Pannonia (west from the Danube river). After Rome fell under the Germanic tribes migration and Carpians' pressure, the Migration Period continued bringing many invaders. First came the Huns, who built up a powerful empire under Attila. The chances are that the origins of the name "Hungary" doesn't come from the Central Asian nomadic invaders called the Huns. The name originated from a later, 7th century Turkic alliance called On-Ogour, which in Old Turkish meant "(the) Ten Arrows" : see below.
