The history of Hungary begins with the migration of the Magyar tribes, around the year 896. Due to the attacks of the Bulgarians, they moved to the Danube plains and established the first settlement in Óbuda and on the island of Csepel (where present-day Budapest). The Magyars have a reputation as ruthless warriors and sacked cities from Spain to Italy. In 955, the Magyars were defeated by Otto and their Christianization began. The city of Pest is mentioned for the first time in 1061, and between 1242 and 1244 the Buda Castle was built by King Béla IV, which started the settlement of the area. Around 1800, Buda had about 24,000 inhabitants, while Pesti had about 30,000. In 1873, the 3 cities of Pest, Buda and Obuda merge and the new city, Budapest, reaches a population of around 300,000 inhabitants. The end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century is a time of prosperity and growth for Budapest, but after the First and Second World Wars, when Hungary sided with the Germans, Budapest began to decline and lost much of its her glow. However, after the fall of the Iron Curtain, the city has begun to recover and regained its former glory.
