Abstract :The historical interactions between Hungarians and Turks, commencing in the 14th century and continuing until the end of the 17th century under Ottoman rule, established a foundation for renewed affinities during the nation-building processes of the 19th century. Theoretical and practical distinctions between Turkish Pan-Turkism and Hungarian Pan-Turanism elucidate the nature of the relationship between these two movements. Analysing the Pan-Turanism movement within the broader context of evolving nationalist ideologies in both countries reveals its inherent improbability of realization. While both movements utilized the shared cultural concept of Turanism to foster national solidarity, their differing objectives and contexts ultimately limited their long-term compatibility and effectiveness. This study aims to comprehensively understand the historical development, ideological foundations, and eventual divergence of these nationalist movements. By examining the influence of Turanism on Turkish and Hungarian nationalism, this research sheds light on the complex interplay between shared cultural concepts and distinct national contexts, highlighting the adaptive nature of nationalism in response to varying historical and political landscapes.
