The debate between Austrian and Hungarian
The region of Burgenland was transferred to Austria in 1921. After the First World War the country was compensated with a territory which had previously been a part of Hungary.

What follows is a comparative case study of how historians participated in creating histories based on nation, region, or ethnicity.
