I. Tanulmányok - Huszár Zoltán: A Duna, mint nemzetközi vízi út

14 states over a territory of 817 km , making it possible for continental countries to reach the sea. The significance of the river lies in its being an important international waterway which for at least two thousand years has been a natural route in Europe connecting West and East along a NW-SE line, with all its contingent advantages and often drawbacks. However, in the past - and in many respects today - the Danube has divided as much as it has connected. In the course of history its natural geographical role has always been immense, but it is no less important from the aspect of cultural history. Through the employment of a synthesised analysis of laws, international agreements, and Hungarian, German and English literature the study presents the history of the Danube as it transforms into an international waterway from Roman times to the mid-twentieth century.
