Károlyi Mihály

Károlyi Mihály was a prominent Hungarian politician and the first Prime Minister of the Hungarian Democratic Republic after World War I. Born into the aristocratic Károlyi family, he initially struggled with severe health issues but later became a leading political figure advocating for social reforms, land redistribution, and universal suffrage. His tenure was marked by the tumultuous period following Hungary's defeat in the war, leading to his eventual fall from power amid political turmoil and accusations of treason, resulting in the confiscation of his considerable estates.
