ABSTRACT Warfare ideologies are as old as human civilization. By now, they have grown into an important and extended research field, including works analyzing the justification of war in ancient Indian epic literature, empire-building techniques in Chinese antiquity, and the warfare ideologies of Islam or Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Similar works concerning Hungarian historical ideologies exist, but a comprehensive survey remains to be seen.
