THE ORGANISATION OF WAR CARE IN HUNGARY AND THE FATE OF THE WAR CARE RECIPIENTS BETWEEN 1914 AND 1933

War care in Hungary was established during the First World War, under the leadership of such prominent politicians as Count István Tisza, Count Kunó Klebelsberg and Count Pál Teleki. The constant changes, economic and political difficulties from 1914 onwards meant that the state was unable to perform its functions properly, and the post-war revolutions, foreign occupation and economic crises led to the collapse of the system that had been established. A major change in management came in 1933, with the entry into force of the Law on the Care of the War Disabled and Other War-Affected Persons. This study describes the development of Hungarian war care and its initial phase. It outlines the management of war care between 1914 and 1933, the major related legislation and the institutional system that was established for the care of the war invalids, especially the war invalids, and then dismantled after the war, indicating the social role associated with it. It also seeks to describe the fate of those who were the most affected by the war: war invalids, war widows, war widowers and war widows’ families.
