Administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Hungary (1941–1945)

Okay, so a long time ago, there was a place called the Kingdom of Hungary. It was like a big puzzle where the king and queen were in charge, but they had help from other people called officials.

Now, to make it easier to take care of all the people and land in the kingdom, they divided it into smaller pieces called administrative divisions. Think of it like a pizza that’s cut into slices so everyone can have a fair share of it.

From 1941 to 1945 (that's a specific time period), the Kingdom of Hungary had a particular way of slicing up the pizza. They had two kinds of administrative divisions: counties and municipalities.

Counties were like big slices of pizza, and each one had its own leader called a chief-lord or a lord-lieutenant. They made sure that everything was running smoothly in their county, just like how your teacher makes sure everyone is behaving in class.

Municipalities were like smaller slices of pizza within the counties. Each one had its own town or city, and these places had a mayor who was in charge. Mayors made sure the streets were clean, the garbage was picked up, and that everyone was safe and happy.

So, to sum it up, the Kingdom of Hungary was like a big pizza that was divided into smaller slices (counties and municipalities) so that it was easier to take care of everything and everyone.
