ABSTRACT

This essay discusses the origins and the short- and long-term consequences of Hungary’s numerus clausus legislation of 1920. The legislation enjoyed widespread support in the non-Jewish middle class and played an important role in the rise of a stable social coalition, which provided the backbone of popular support for the Horthy regime in the interwar period.
