Károlyi, Mihály, Count

(born March 4, 1875, Fót, Hung., Austria-Hungary—died March 20, 1955, Vence, France) Hungarian statesman. A member of one of the wealthiest families of the Hungarian aristocracy, he entered parliament in 1910 and tried to advance radical ideas in a conservative state, advocating universal suffrage, concessions to Hungary's non-Magyar subjects, and a policy of friendship with states other than Germany. After World War I he served as prime minister in 1918–19, and he tried unsuccessfully to gain a favourable peace settlement from the Allies. After two months as president of the short-lived Hungarian republic in 1919, he resigned and was replaced by Béla Kun. He fled abroad, but he returned to Hungary in 1946 and served as ambassador to France (1947–49).
