Abstract

Abstract This article explores economic relations between the United Kingdom and Hungary between 1944 and 1956. After the Second World War, the UK attempted to maintain some of its influence in Soviet-occupied Hungary by resuming trade relations with the country as early as 1946. Financial discussions around settling Hungary’s debts began a year later, but they ended abruptly in December 1949. British-Hungarian trade and financial talks resumed only in 1953, and a trade agreement was not signed until June 1956. In addition to providing an outline of British-Hungarian economic relations, this article also assesses the relationship between a relatively small country in the Soviet sphere of influence and the United Kingdom, as well as the role of economic diplomacy in East-West relations in the first decade of the Cold War.
《跨越铁幕做生意:1945-1956年英国和匈牙利之间的贸易和金融关系》
本文探讨1944年至1956年间英国与匈牙利的经济关系。第二次世界大战后,英国试图通过早在1946年恢复与该国的贸易关系,来维持其在苏联占领的匈牙利的一些影响力。一年后,围绕解决匈牙利债务的金融讨论开始,但在1949年12月突然结束。英匈贸易和金融谈判直到1953年才恢复,直到1956年6月才签署贸易协定。除了概述英匈经济关系外,本文还评估了苏联势力范围内一个相对较小的国家与英国之间的关系,以及冷战头十年中经济外交在东西方关系中的作用。
