1933 - The National Socialist (or Nazi) party takes power in Germany. Adolf Hitler is elected Chancellor of Germany on January 30th. Hungary forms an alliance with Germany that is political, economic and ideological in nature. Both authoritarian regimes share a keen interest in revising the Trianon Peace Treaty.
