Placement of the Kingdom of Hungary

edit

my suggestions are as follows:

short description as “Monarchy primarily in the Carpathian Basin (1000-1946)”

placement in lead as “The Kingdom of Hungary was a country primarily situated in the Carpathian Basin, encompassing parts of the Carpathian Mountains and the Balkan Peninsula.”

the monarchy included parts of Europe widely regarded as Eastern Europe or Southeast Europe including Bosnia and Herzegovina, southern Croatia and parts of Ukraine and Romania. On the Kingdom of Hungary article, a user implied that modern divisions of Europe have no relevance to the Kingdom but by that logic why would it be placed in Central Europe? A single source including the kingdom in Central Europe was provided, but the source itself challenged the idea of placing the medieval kingdom in Central Europe. If this placement is to remain, it should be adequately sourced. Otherwise, I believe a better way to describe the geographic location of the kingdom is with reference to the Carpathian Basin, Carpathian Mountains and Balkan Peninsula.
