You didn't understand what I wanted to tell you. It is more complicated thing to understand the ethnic things in Hungary it's not just like the modern nationalism. Most of the Germans that live in Hungary moved here centuries ago, mainly in the Middle Ages (knights, priests and manufacturers) and after the Habsburgs conquered back the territories occupied by Ottomans (for nearly 150 years) they were deployed here by the Habsburgs mainly to cities. They became Magyarised on their own: they lived there and it was easier for them to assimilate to Hungarian culture and use Hungarian language. Look at the
generals of the 1848 revolution in Hungary. It is worth noting that not all of them were ethnic Hungarians (five Hungarians, four Germans, two Armenians, one Serb and one Croat). Four Germans fought against Austria in high position just because they were more loyal to Hungary than the Habsburgs or german people. Lot of nobles were not Hungarian but they became Hungarian in their souls no matter if they were Slovaks, Serbs, Germans, etc. And nobody cared that they are not Hungarian by blood. Everybody who was loyal to Hungary could get in high positions no matter where he was from. Armenians, Germans, Croats, Serbs, even Jews (if Hungary was not a tolerant country why more than half million jews fled there from Russia and Galizien? There were no pogroms and hate against anybody.)
The Magyarisation wasn't the thing that the post-Trianon states used or use even now. The minorities were allowed to use their own language in the bureaucracy (even if they had to do something with a Ministry they could write a letter in their own language), in schools, in buisness, etc. The Magyarisation meaned that the Government tried to teach everybody the Hungarian language and hoped that they will use it on their own. Of course lot of people resisted but lot of also agreed with this and they were more intolerant to their fellows than the Hungarians or their government. People became Hungarian without suppression just because they lived there and wanted to become Hungarian on their own.
The minority act in 1868 made by József Eötvös was one of the most liberal acts made by a government at that time. Later wasn't all parts of it used and that was because the idependent movement were mainly built up by Hungarian Nationalists and the government wanted to satisfy them to make them quite.
Yes, they considered themselves as Germans but just by blood. In their souls they became Hungarians. You can say they were Germans just by ethnically. After the A-H Monarchy dissolved in 1918 lots of Germans remained in Hungary, for example the whole Hungarian military leadership in the Horthy-era was made up from Germans. They could choose to go Austria and serve there. Why not? Although they were ethnic Germans, they remained in Hungary to serve here. It was their real home, not Austria where they were strangers.
2. Have you read the posts of Dutchemperor too or just mine? He said a thing like Pozsony is so near to the Austrian border that it can said it is a part of Austria.
3. There were no voting in West-Sopron region just in the city and some villages as there were no voting in the rest of the regions taken from Hungary. Mainly because the post-Trianon states feared that lot of people would vote for living in Hungary (mainly Hungarians and Germans but also some Slovaks and Romanians too). And I haven't said that most of the minorities liked Hungary because they wanted to be seperate or join their fellows in their own country but that was just because Nationalism ideas. I don't think you speak Hungarian but if there is a chance for you I recommend to you to read novels from Kálmán Mikszáth. He was born in nowadays Slovakia and at that time Slovaks and Hungarians lived peacfully together in one village. Hungary wasn't a state like Yugoslavia where the ethnic groups hated each other. The hate that countinued until nowadays was made by politicians and the very unfair Treaty of Trianon which made all ethnic groups in the Carpathian Basin to hate each other.
