6. This task is about the political ideas of the 19th century. Do the tasks using the sources and your own knowledge. (1 point for each correct item) A) ‘No nation can give itself liberty if it does not have it already. Its laws are already made when it begins to reflect on itself. [...] If men step beyond these limits [laws] by foolhardy reforms, the nation loses what it had without gaining what it hopes for. In consequence, it is necessary to innovate only rarely and always moderately and cautiously. [...] In one sense, liberty has always been a gift of kings, since all free nations have been constituted by kings. [...] No assembly of men whatever can create a nation [...] It is a great fallacy to think that the people would lose anything with the restoration of the monarchy: as the people profited only theoretically from the general upheaval.’ (Joseph-Marie de Maistre: Considerations on France, 1796) A) „Egyetlen nemzet sem adhat magának szabadságot, ha azzal nem rendelkezik már eleve. Mikor kezd magára eszmélni, a törvények már készen állnak. […] Ha egyes emberek áthágják e határt [törvényeket] merész reformjaikkal, a nemzet azt is elveszíti, ami eddig részéül jutott, s mégsem éri el, amit kíván. Ebből következik, hogy csak igen ritkán szabad újítani, s mindig mértékkel és igen óvatosan. […] A szabadság bizonyos értelemben mindig a királyok adománya volt, hiszen minden nemzetet a királyok alkottak. […] Emberek ilyen-olyan gyülekezete nem alkothat nemzetet. […] Igen nagy hiba, ha azt képzeljük, hogy a nép veszítene valamit a monarchia visszaállításával: a nép ugyanis pusztán elvben nyert az általános felfordulással.” (Joseph-Marie de Maistre: Gondolatok Franciaországról, 1796) B) ’The only freedom that deserves the name is the freedom to pursue our own good in our own way, so long as we don’t try to deprive others of their good or hinder their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health of body, mind, and spirit. Mankind gain more from allowing each other to live in the way that seems good to themselves than they would from compelling each to live in the way that seems good to the rest.’ (John Stuart Mill: On Liberty, 1859) B) „A szabadság egyetlen fajtája, mely megérdemli ezt a nevet, ha saját javunkra a magunk módján törekedhetünk mindaddig, míg nem próbálunk másokat ugyanebben megakadályozni, vagy gátolni ezt célzó erőfeszítéseiket. Saját testi, lelki vagy szellemi egészségének mindenki maga a legjobb őrzője. Az emberiség többet nyer, ha eltűri, hogy mindenki úgy él, ahogy neki tetszik, mintha arra kényszerítik egymást, hogy úgy éljenek, ahogy a többieknek tetszik.” (John Stuart Mill: A szabadságról, 1859) a) The two sources reflect political ideas which were evolving in the 19th century. Name these ideas, one for each source. Source A) .......................................................... Source B) ...........................................................

Everyone, needless to say, so it was explained, translated, and passed on from mouth to mouth around me, would get their belongings back later, but first disinfection awaited all articles, and a bath for us […]. They then got closer to me in the hurlyburly, and I finally got my first glimpse of the people here. […] real convicts in the striped clothes of criminals, and with shaven skulls in round caps. […] On the chest of each one, apart from the customary convict’s number, I also saw a yellow triangle, […] When they spotted us boys, I noticed, they became quite agitated, […] then suddenly […] they all started to get very curious about our ages. We told them, ‘Fourteen, fifteen, depending on how old each of us was. They immediately raised huge protestations, with hands, heads, their entire bodies: ‘Sixteen!’ they muttered left, right, and center, ‘sixteen.’ I was surprised, and even asked one of them: ‘Why?’ ‘Do you want to work?’ he asked, the somehow blank stare of his deep-set, drawn eyes boring into mine. ‘Of course,’ I told him, since that was after all my reason for coming […]. ‘Everyone works, no one is tired, no one is ill.’ – that was about the only other thing I learnt from them during the possibly not-quite two whole minutes it took as I moved in the crush from my place to the door, finally to take a big leap out into the sunlight and fresh air.’ (Fatelessness by Imre Kertész) „De máris híre járt, a bőröndök, csomagok itt maradnak. Később – magyarázták, fordították s adták körülöttem szájról szájra – mindenki visszakapja, magától értetődően, a tulajdonát, előbb azonban a tárgyakra fertőtlenítés, miránk viszont fürdő vár […]. Akkor értek aztán közelebb hozzám a nyüzsgésben, s pillantottam meg végre én is az itteni embereket. […] a gonosztevők csíkos gúnyájában, kopaszra nyírt fejével, kerek sapkájában.

Rögtön igen tiltakoztak, kezükkel, fejükkel, egész testükkel: – Tizenhat – suttogták mindenfelől –, tizenhat. – Csodálkoztam, s egyiküket meg is kérdeztem: – Miért? – Akarok-e dolgozni, kérdezte erre ő, árkos-vonásos szemének valahogy üres tekintetét egészen az enyémbe vájva. Mondtam neki, természetesen, hisz utóvégre is ezért jöttem […].

We will prohibit actions, adventurous enterprises and conspiracies which go beyond this, but we cannot put a lock on the mouth of the Hungarian public. […] Germany only lost a province, in which there are relatively few Germans compared to the overall number of Germans. […] We did not lose provinces. We were dismembered. […] Germany could give up a province, but we cannot give up on one third of our own kind for eternity.’ (Speech by István Bethlen, 1928) „Vagy irredenta-e az, ha mi a békerevíziót követeljük? [...] E kérdéssel foglalkozni [...] nem irredentizmus. Ennél tovább menő akciókat, kalandos vállalkozásokat és összeesküvéseket igenis lehetetlenné teszünk, de a magyar közönség szájára lakatot nem tehetünk. [...] Németország egy tartományt vesztett csupán, amelyben a németség számához képest kevés német van. [...] Mi nem tartományokat vesztettünk el. Bennünket földaraboltak. [...] Németország lemondhatott egy tartományról, de mi fajunk egyharmadáról örök időre le nem mondhatunk.” (Bethlen István beszéde, 1928) a) What did Bethlen consider to be the main aim of Hungarian foreign policy?

Using the source and your own knowledge, decide who reacted in what way on hearing about the Hungarian-Gypsy mixed marriage. Write an X into the appropriate column of the table. There can only be one X in each row. (0.5 points for each correct item) ‘The families of both parties opposed the marriage; what is more, the Hungarian parents specifically forbade it. In spite of this, however, the young ones were determined to go ahead. The family of the Hungarian bride even refused to go to the wedding, they felt so embarrassed by the events. Later on, they came to terms up to a point. The young Hungarian woman married to the Roma man gave an outraged account of how her brother-in-law (her sister’s husband), who took employment together with her husband in the Transdanubian region, denies the family connection between them, because he is ashamed of having a Gypsy brother-in-law. The Roma relatives were not very welcoming towards the woman marrying into their family either, and expected her to accommodate to their habits and cultural traditions. Although the local non-Roma society was perfectly aware that a Hungarian woman from another village had moved to Csernely, the woman, having moved in with her husband’s family, was considered by them as another Gypsy. As we are talking about an integrated Roma family, the relationship established with the locals is close and devoid of conflicts; however, the village identifies the mother-of-two as a Roma. Although her husband has a definite Roma identity, and took an active part in the Gypsy Minority Self-Government for years, his family clearly intends to assimilate.

The fact that the husband’s sister married a Hungarian man seems to support this, and his cousins living in Budapest follow this marriage strategy as well. Their older son is going out with a Hungarian girl and for him to be identified as a Gypsy is already an insult. In spite of all efforts, the locals consider all members of the family as Gypsies.’ (Anthropologist József Kotics) „Mindkét fél családja ellenezte, sőt a magyar szülők kifejezetten tiltották a házasság létrejöttét. A fiatalok ennek ellenére ragaszkodtak ahhoz. A magyar menyasszony családja még a lakodalomba sem volt hajlandó elmenni, annyira kínosan érintette őket az eset. A későbbiek során valamelyest megbékéltek. A roma férfival házasságban élő magyar fiatalasszony felháborodva mesélte, hogy sógora (nővérének férje), aki férjével együtt vállal munkát a Dunántúlon, eltagadja a köztük lévő rokoni kapcsolatot, mert szégyelli, hogy a sógora cigány. A roma család is idegenkedve fogadta a beházasodó asszonyt és elvárta, hogy alkalmazkodjon szokásaikhoz, kulturális hagyományaikhoz. Jóllehet a helyi nem roma társadalom teljesen tisztában van vele, hogy egy másik faluból származó magyar nő került Csernelybe, az asszonyt férje családjához költözése miatt, a cigányok közé sorolja. Miután integrálódott roma családról van szó, a helyiekkel létrejövő kapcsolat konfliktusmentes és intenzív, ennek ellenére a falu romaként identifikálja a 2 gyermekes családanyát. Bár férje kifejezetten roma identitással rendelkezik, aki évekig a Cigány Kisebbségi Önkormányzatban is aktív szerepet töltött be, családja láthatólag asszimilációs szándékkal lép fel. Ezt látszik igazolni, hogy a férj lánytestvére is magyar házastársat választott, s Budapesten élő unokatestvérei is ezt a házasodási stratégiát követik. Nagyobb fiúgyermekük magyar lánynak udvarol s számára már a cigányként való azonosítás sértő. A törekvés ellenére a helyiek cigánynak tekintik a család minden tagját.” (Kotics József antropológus) Statement

13. This task is about the Reformation. (short) Describe Luther’s criticism concerning the organisation of the Catholic Church and its financial situation, using the source and your own knowledge. In your answer, include the immediate cause that led to the Reformation. ‘That the Pope is not, according to divine law or according to the Word of God, the head of all Christendom, for this [name] belongs to One only, whose name is Jesus Christ, but is only the bishop and pastor of the Church at Rome, and of those who voluntarily or through a human creature (that is, a political magistrate) have attached themselves to him, to be Christians, not under him as a lord, but with him as brethren [colleagues] and comrades, as the ancient councils […] show. But to-day none of the bishops dare to address the Pope as brother as was done at that time; but they must call him most gracious lord, even though they be kings or emperors.’ (Martin Luther, 1537) „A pápa nem isteni jogon vagy Isten igéje alapján feje az egész keresztyénségnek, mert ilyen csak egy van: a Jézus Krisztus. Hanem csak a római gyülekezetnek és azoknak a püspöke és lelkésze, akik önként vagy emberi kapcsolatok, azaz világi felsőbbség jogán csatlakoztak hozzá, de nem azért, hogy uruk legyen, hanem hogy vele mint keresztyén testvérek és munkatársak együtt éljenek, ahogyan ezt a régi zsinatok […] is tanúsítják. Most azonban egyetlen püspök sem meri a pápát »testvérnek« szólítani, mint abban az időben, hanem »legkegyelmesebb urának« kell őt neveznie, még király vagy császár létére is!” (Luther Márton, 1537) 14. This task is about the Second Industrial Revolution. (short) Using the source and your own knowledge, describe the changes that took place in industry in the period of the Second Industrial Revolution. ‘It is an undeniable merit of the people heading banks that by recognising aspirations and advancing essential capital they promoted development, often in spite of great risks. This makes it almost inevitable that such banks that supported industrialisation, accepting the great risks involved, attempted, and in the majority of cases succeeded, in gaining long-term and decisive control over industrial co-operations [corporate groups].’ (German work on the history of industry about the role of German banks) „A bankok élén álló személyek vitathatatlan érdeme, hogy a törekvések fölismerésével s a nélkülözhetetlen tőke előlegezésével segítették a fejlődést, gyakran nagy kockázatoktól sem riadva vissza. Így szinte magától értetődik, hogy azok a bankok, amelyek nagy kockázatot vállalva támogatták az iparosítást, megpróbáltak, az esetek többségében sikerrel, tartós és döntő ellenőrzéshez jutni az ipari korporációk [vállalatcsoportok] felett.” (Német ipartörténeti munka a német bankok szerepéről)

15. This task is about the main issues of the Reform period. (long) Describe the question of serfdom in the Reform period, using the sources and your own knowledge. In your answer, explain why the question of serfdom became one of the major issues of the period. ‘And whoever has used both socage and paid labourers must know [...] that the work done in 52 days by a serf owning a complete plot with his bad plough, fragile cart and weak oxen, or in 104 days by a clumsy servant or under-aged children [...] could be done in one third of that time by his own paid labourers, with good tools and strong oxen.’ (Credit by István Széchenyi, 1830) „Ki nem tapasztalta, ki robotban is, és béresek által [is] [...] dolgozott, hogy azon munkát, melyet egy egész helyes [telkes] jobbágy rossz ekéjével, filigrán [törékeny] szekerével, gyenge marhájával 52 nap, vagy ügyetlen cselédje és gyenge korú gyermeki által 104 nap tud végezni, [ő] maga béreseivel, jó szerszámokkal és erős marhával [...] a mondott idő egy harmad része alatt nem vihette végbe!” (Széchenyi István: Hitel, 1830)

Serf rebellion of 1831 ’The more free members with legal rights a nation has, the more powerful it is. When the peasants feel the blessings of a civil constitution and have a share in it, surely they will be solicitous for its maintanence and preservation, rather than, as it is the case now, feeling its burdens more, but barely the benefits, or having a hostile aversion towards it.’ (On Prejudices by Miklós Wesselényi, 1833) „Minél több szabad, jussokkal bíró tagokból áll egy nemzet, annál hatalmasabb. Ha a polgári alkotmánynak malasztját [áldásait] a parasztság is érezni fogja s azokban részesülend, bizonnyal szívén fog annak fennmaradása és öregbedése fekünni ahelyett, hogy most, midőn azon alkotmánynak inkább csak terheit, de hasznát majd nem is érzi, vagy ellenséges idegenséggel van az iránt.” (Wesselényi Miklós: Balítéletekről, 1833) 1712 írásbeli vizsga
