Miklós Zeidler is a habilitated Associate Professor at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest, lecturing in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Hungarian History within the Institute of Historical Studies. His principal research covers Hungary’s twentieth-century diplomatic, political and cultural history, with a strong focus on the Treaty of Trianon, inter-war revisionism, the League of Nations, and the memory-culture of irredentism. Research interests: Professor Zeidler explores the consequences of the 1920 peace settlement for Hungarian state- and nation-building, the functioning of the League of Nations in East-Central Europe, and the interplay between sport, propaganda and national identity.
