Preferred term
Hungarian Americans
Definition
- Hungarians have long seen the United States as a place where they could make better lives for themselves, initially coming in a series of individual migrations in the 16th and 18th centuries. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Hungarians came in three waves of much-larger group migrations— after the War of Independence in 1848, during the period immediately prior to and after World War I, and as political refugees after the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
