KOSSUTH’S CHALLENGE TO AMERICAN ISOLATIONISM
KOSSUTH’S CHALLENGE TO AMERICAN ISOLATIONISM

Summary/Abstract: The Hungarian War of Independence was widely reported in the American press. Kossuth hoped to bring about a fundamental change in U.S. foreign policy: to convince the country that the time came for taking an active role in international affairs. Sixty-six years later, the U.S. came to act exactly along the lines advocated by Kossuth. Ninety years later the Atlantic Charter came to embody the very principles first expressed by the Hungarian leader.
