*After WWII. '''a major population exchange with Czechoslovakia''' was carried out: 71,787 or 73,200 '''Slovaks from Hungary were transferred to Slovakia''' – the exact number depends on source consulted – were resettled in South Slovakia '''in exhange for, according to different estimations, 45,000 or 120,000 Hungarians'''. | |||
*From the 14th century, escaping from the Ottoman threat, a large number of '''Serbs''' migrated to the Hungarian Kingdom. In the 17th century, many Serb, and other Southern Slavic immigrants settled in Hungary. A new wave of Serb refugees migrated to the area around 1690, as a consequence of the Habsburg-Ottoman war. In the first half of the 18th century, Serbs and South Slavs were ethnic majority in several cities in Hungary. | |||
*Between 1711 and 1780, '''German-speaking settlers''' immigrated to the regions of '''Southern Hungary, mostly region of Bánát, Bács-Bodrog, Baranya and Tolna counties''', which had been depopulated by the Ottoman wars. At the end of the 18th century, the Kingdom of Hungary contained over one million German-speaking residents '''(collectively known as Danube Swabians)'''. In 2011, 131,951 people declared to be German in Hungary. | |||
*'''Greeks'''migrated to Kingdom of Hungary from the 15th and 16th centuries. Mass migrations did not occur until the 17th century, the largest waves being in 1718 and 1760–1770. They were primarily connected to the economic conditions of the period. It is estimated that 10,000 Greeks emigrated to Hungary in the second half of the 18th century. A number of '''Greek Communists''' escaped to Hungary after the Greek Civil War. | |||
*The town of Szentendre and the surrounding villages were inhabited by '''Bulgarians''' since the Middle Ages. However, present day Bulgarians are largely descended from gardeners who migrated to Hungary from the 18th century.<ref>"Demographics of Hungary", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Hungary#Ethnic_groups_and_language, accessed 16 July 2021.</ref> | |||
