A doktriner naivitás ára – gondolatok Károlyi Mihály külpolitikájáról

Absztrakt

Mihály Károlyi and his bourgeois radical circle set as their goal a foreign policy vision that was logical in many respects under the circumstances of the time, but lacking realistic elements and ignoring eternal historical laws, and which they adhered to until March 1919, despite all events to the contrary. Fearing the loss of the Antant’s perceived goodwill, no use was made of possible covert, informal means (e.g. fomenting and supporting local resistance) which might have contributed to a more favourable peace situation. The prime minister’s foreign policy vision can be briefly described in terms of doctrinaire naivety.
