Born in Szombathely to a middle-class family, Bárdossy began his career in the Hungarian government as a young man when he found employ in the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Bárdossy transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1920, and served as head of its press department from 1924 to 1931.

Bárdossy quickly rose through the foreign ministry, serving as a member of the Hungarian legation to London from 1931 to 1934.

In February 1941, Bárdossy was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in Prime Minister Pál Teleki ’ s cabinet.

When Teleki committed suicide on 3 April 1941, Bárdossy was immediately appointed prime minister by Regent Miklós Horthy.

As prime minister, Bárdossy ( who also retained the portfolio of foreign minister ) pursued a strong pro-German foreign policy, reasoning that an alliance with the Nazis would allow Hungary to retrieve land that had been taken from it as a result of the Treaty of Trianon.

Shortly after Bárdossy became prime minister, Germany invaded Yugoslavia.

Bárdossy and Horthy sent the Hungarian Army to assist the Germans, and in return Hungarian troops were allowed to occupy part of the Yugoslav territory that had formerly belonged to Hungary.

On matters of domestic policy, Bárdossy proved to be an advocate of radical right wing politics.

An anti-Semite, Bárdossy enacted the Third Jewish Law in August 1941, which severely limited Jewish economic and employment opportunities and prohibited Jews from marrying or having sexual intercourse with non-Jews.

Bárdossy also approved the policy of deporting non-Hungarians from the territory seized from Yugoslavia, and authorized the slaughter of thousands of Jews in Novi Sad.

After Germany invaded the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, Bárdossy was restrained by Horthy from declaring war on the Soviet Union.

) After learning of the attack and meeting with his cabinet and Horthy, Bárdossy declared war on the Soviet Union.

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, Bárdossy was reluctant to declare war on the United States.

Exactly why Horthy decided to remove Bárdossy is unclear, but some possible reasons include Bárdossy ’ s unwillingness to stand up to Germany, his compliancy to Hungary ’ s far-right and growing increasing Hungarian troop levels and casualties in the Soviet Union.

Perhaps the primary reason that Horthy dismissed Bárdossy, however, was that Bárdossy successfully opposed a plan by Horthy that would have elevated his son, Miklós Jr, to the regency after Miklós Horthy ’ s death.

After resigning as prime minister, Bárdossy became chairman of the Fascist United Christian National League in 1943.

After the German occupation of Hungary in 1944, Bárdossy and his followers collaborated with Prime Minister Döme Sztójay.

After World War II ended, Bárdossy was arrested and tried by the People ’ s Court in November 1945.
