The Government of National Unity (Hungarian: ''Nemzeti Összefogás Kormánya'')〔 (Nemzeti Összefogás Kormánya, Szálasi-kormány, nyilas kormány )〕 existed during the occupation of Hungary by Nazi Germany between October 1944 and May 1945. Formed by the Turanist/Nazi Arrow Cross Party, it was established on 17 October 1944〔 after Regent Miklós Horthy was removed from power during Operation "Panzerfaust" (''Unternehmen "Eisenfaust"'' ).〔(The Policies of Prime Minister Kallay and the German Occupation of Hungary in March 1944 )〕 Arrow Cross leader Ferenc Szálasi became Prime Minister and, as "Nation Leader", the head of state. During the government's short period of rule, ten to fifteen thousand Jews were murdered in Hungary and around eighty thousand Jews, including many women, children and elderly Jews, were deported from Hungary to their deaths in the Auschwitz concentration camp. == Hungary splits in two == Under threat of having his son killed, Miklós Horthy appointed Ferenc Szálasi as ''Magyar királyi miniszterelnök'' (Royal Hungarian Prime Minister) on 16 October and was deported afterwards by the Germans. This act merely rubber-stamped an Arrow Cross coup, as Szálasi's men had taken over Budapest the previous night. The Hungarian parliament approved the formation of a Council of Regency (''Kormányzótanács'') of three on 17 October.〔 On 4 November, Szálasi was sworn as Leader of the Nation (''nemzetvezető'').〔(Hungary: Notes - archontology.org )〕 He formed a government of sixteen ministers, half of which were members of the Arrow Cross Party. While the Horthy regency had come to an end, the Hungarian monarchy was not abolished by the Szálasi regime, as government newspapers kept referring to the country as the Kingdom of Hungary (''Magyar Királyság'', also abbreviated as ''m.kir.''), although ''Magyarország'' (Hungary) was frequently used as an alternative.〔''Budapesti Közlöny'', 17 October 1944〕〔''Hivatalos Közlöny'', 27 January 1945〕 Szálasi was an ardent fascist and his "Quisling government" had little other intention or ability but to maintain fascism and to maintain control in Nazi-occupied portions of Hungary as the Soviet Union invaded. He did this in order to reduce the threat to Germany. Szálasi's aim was to create a single-party state based on his "Hungarist" ideology. On 21 December 1944, with the approval of the Soviet Union, Béla Miklós was elected as the Prime Minister of a "counter" Hungarian government in Soviet-controlled Debrecen. Miklós was a former commander of the Hungarian First Army. He had failed in his efforts to convince many of the men under his command to switch sides. The government that Miklós oversaw was an "interim government" and maintained control in the Soviet-occupied portions of Hungary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Government of National Unity (Hungary)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
