ABSTRACT

Anglo-Hungarian economic links during the inter-war period were narrow in scope. Distant and relatively small in area, Hungary was not of much importance to Great Britain. Its geographical situation dictated that Hungary sought to trade with Italy and Germany first and foremost. That course was only reinforced after Austria and Czechoslovakia ceased their independent existence, since this brought the Third Reich to the country’s very doorstep. For all that, the AngloHungarian economic relationship, trading links included, grew impressively till 1938.
