Excerpt from The Transylvanian Question
In a geographical sense, and according to the natural formation of south-eastern Hungary, Transylvania is a basin encircled by high mountain ranges belonging to the system of the Carpathians. The whole of her interior is a country of low hills, the average height of which is from 400 to 500 meters.
The mountain range forming the eastern frontier of Transylvania runs from the Alps of Maramaros to the block of mountains named Csilyanos at the south-eastern angle of Transylvania; here it turns at rightangles and continues in a westward line as far as the Iron Gates of the Lower Danube. The mountains bordering the basin on the west, towards the Nagy-Alfold (the Great-Plains of Hungary) do not form such a decided barrier as the mountain ranges on the eastern and southern border, surrounding the basin like veritable ramparts. The line of mountains is lower here, more broken, and affords more facilities for crossing fey the valleys of the numerous streams belonging to the river system of the Danube.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough analysis of Transylvania's history from the geological origins of the natural features that have both supported and isolated its inhabitants to the modern political strife between Hungary and Romania over the region's future. The author traces the settlement patterns of the Magyar, Saxon, and Roumanian peoples and their struggles for political dominance over the centuries. Against this backdrop, the book examines how the concept of national identity has evolved over time, culminating in the violent conflicts and political machinations that have shaped the region in the 20th and 21st centuries, including two world wars and the rise and fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The author concludes by showing how Transylvaniaâs past is inextricably linked to its present and how the challenges of its complicated history continue to impact the lives of those who live there today.
