The most important cause of the almost two hundred year long migration process was the capitalization of the economy. The great migrations of the 20th century, especially those following the two world wars (exchanges of population, and waves of exiles) resembled the previous movements of population only in their massive scale, but their causes were mostly political and not economic as before. This characterized the migration processes of the 1940's in Hungary, among them the exchange of Hungarian and Slovak population and the resettlement of the ethnic Germans living in Hungary. These changes involving several hundred thousand people had an impact even on predominantly Hungarian parts of the country, like the towns on the great Hungarian plain. The exchange of Hungarian and Slovak population, which began in 1946 and was forced on Hungary by an unequal treaty, was followed by serious social conflicts in these towns as well. The conflicts were especially grave in the case of Hungarians from Czechoslovakia as they were forcefully made to leave their homeland, and their integration in Hungary was full of conflicts. The Slovaks living on the great plain were divided: some refused to move to Czechoslovakia, others turned against Hungary and in the end decided to move. From the beginning of 1945 the Germans living in Hungary were collectively held responsible. Several thousand people, who were (or were classified as) ethnic Germans, were deported to the Soviet Union. Thousands more were resettled in the American occupied zones of Germany, a process that touched upon the life of some of the towns of the great plain.
