Summary/Abstract: Kun, the Foreign Affairs Commissioner of the Revolutionary Governing Council, and Miklós Horthy, the Minister of Defense of the Counter-Revolutionary Government in Szeged, the Commander of the National Army, and later the Governor of the country for a quarter of a century, are controversial and divisive figures of the 20th century Hungarian history. This study compares the personal and political profile of these two leaders on the basis of the historical achievements of the past hundred years. Beyond their starting position and their origins, there are far more important differences in their ideological positions and identity. Their careers, however, also present some similarities (e.g. the circumstances of their accession to power and the international aspects of their failure).
