Absztrakt

I am going to present Hungarian-British relations between 1945–53, the activity of Hungarian and British diplomacy, in a wider context, the emerge of the bipolar world, and the deepening of the cold war, Hungary as a satellite country of the Soviet Union and the world behind the „Iron Curtain” on the basis of the sources and documents I found in The National Archives of Great Britain. This relationship will be shown through two examples from the past, which are now history. However it can teach us the lesson that politics can influence the cultural and economic relationship and cooperation of the two parties so badly that pragmatic thinking and interest remained in the background. This lesson can also show us the effects of political decisions on economic life and regional development of a country who did not take into account real economic and social processes. In the name of some presumed, reckoned or hoped benefits politics infiltrated in every field of life in such an extent that finally the relations both diplomatic and economic between the two countries almost came to a standstill within a few years. The examples clearly represent the importance of the deep layers of relations and point out the seriousness of the different consequences diplomatic steps can have in foreign and home politics and economy.
