About the Chaos in Transylvania (Free Chapter)
Transylvania has two semi-administrative systems:
One was the administrative system of the Austrian Empire, the other belonged to the Hungarians.
In addition, the Principality of Transylvania itself has an administrative system, but this administrative system actually only exists in theory.
Then the administrative system of Austria and the administrative system of Hungary are in parallel relationship in Transylvania, so there are many cases where public opinion is axiom and mother-in-law's opinion is reasonable.
Transylvanians, Wallachians, and Moldavia are actually three ethnic groups. The concept of Romanians was actually forcibly constructed artificially at a later stage, and it belongs to the state first and then the nation.
Then regarding the Germans in Transylvania, the fact is that the Saxons only accounted for a small part, and this group of people also had a strong tendency to be independent. They were overwhelmed and persecuted by other ethnic groups in 1848, so they did not show up. Come.
In addition to the Saxons, the Transylvanian region was also a traditional penal colony of the Austrian Empire, specifically used to exile Protestants and heretics.
At this time, thank God that this group of people did not join the rebellion with the Hungarians. It is unrealistic to expect them to help.
In addition, the local church is also very complex. In addition to traditional Catholicism, there are also Eastern Catholicism and Protestantism, and these Protestants do not belong to the same sect.
Of course, in addition to Catholicism and Protestantism, Orthodox Christianity and Judaism, plus the proximity to the Ottomans, Arab sects are also indispensable.
The terrain of Transylvania is also very complex, surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains on the outside and a mixture of plateaus and hills in the center.
Mountains and rivers divide the land into countless geographical units. Coupled with poor transportation and communication conditions, residents on the border can't even tell which country they are from.
