Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |
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). How to thank TFD for its existence?
