I totally agree with you ilyala i couldn't have said it better,although i know these things very well is harder to put them down as you did.
Linnea dear i'm very,very sure of my family-background,and i'm not at all anti-hungarian...i have many hungarian friends,we get along very well,we respect each other etc
Anabel,it seems that you can not be as neutral as you've swear to be in the beginning since you name Missy a begger or you compare this brilliant queen with a stupid little girl :)but its your sincere opinion about her and i respect it...everything she did she did for her country,Romania,the love for us was her faith,she believed in Romania,she died with the words"sweet country" on her lips...if you are neutral you will understand Missy...Had she been queen of Hungary,she would have done the impossible so that Hungary could keep her lands,and she would have certainly failed because this was impossible in the 1920' situation...but i'm sure she would have tried at least,unfortunately for hungarians nobody tried anything(am i right???),although it's true there was almost nothing to do in their situation.Missy identified herself with the Romanian people,with the romanian cause and you have to admit there were few queens in that period who achieved this...she may seem to you a humiliated begger ,to us she was our nation's loving mother,our angel of glory,in some way our saviour...i know these seem exaggerated to you but this is what i feel and i can't shut up.Is the same thing,i suppose,you feel for Sissy...
Anyway i don't think we will ever agree because this disscusion is on a very thorny matter for both sides and some will continue to defend the hungarian cause other will continue to be pro-romanian an i will continue to defend Marie:)who,i repeat did what she thought is better for her country and nobody should blame her for this...
ilyala multumesc:)
