Hungary Immigration
Hungarian Immigration & Culture
The Hungarian existence in the United States was recognized by the large mass of rural immigrants in the three decades beforeI. These immigrants treasured their Hungarian identity. Because of their continued preservation of their Hungarian identity, their assimilation was not easy. Hungarians rather formed their own communities than join already made American ones. Interestingly enough, their American born children assimilated rapidly, and were eager to dispose of their "simple" Hungarian background. It took until the 1960's for those of Hungarian descent to once again embrace their culture.
