FOREWORD When one starts to read The Road to the Dictated Peace, one realizes that this is a unique book. Historians and politicians have studied every part of the history of the tragedy of Trianon and all its secrets have been brought to light but, until now, none of the writers has studied the history of the millennia which preceded the Dictated Peace and the eighty years which followed it. Even now, it could cause conflicts to ignite all over Europe. Nobody has offered a solution to correct the historical mistakes which resulted in the creation of artificial states. These states were created in the name of "minority rights" yet many more nationalities were placed under foreign rule. There is one city in the Carpathian Basin whose citizens, in the past 75 years, became citizens of fi ve different nations consecutively, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, the Soviet Union and finally the Ukraine, without leaving the territory of their city. Citizens of other territories suffered a similar fate in a different way and they all sacrificed their life-blood because of the mistakes of the Dictated Peace László Botos has documented, with thousands of facts, that in the Carpathian Basin, in the last 1,100 years, only one nation has been able to form a nation, create peace, provide democratic rights and give self-determination to different nationalities. That was the Hungárián nation. During the thousand-year Hungárián rule, people of every nationality were able to settle in Hungary and keep their language, culture, religion and history. The new settlers were able to multiply, progress and prosper in that country which, in 1222, with the Golden Bull, secured for every citizen the democratic rights, at the same time as the English Magna Carta. This is the country which was carved up and destroyed at Trianon and the citizens of this land have been persecuted ever since by those dictators of the Successor States who came into power by the sanctions of the Dictated Peace, who actually enslaved their own nations too.
