In the 1840s, Jászkunság autonomists became convinced that egalitarianism could only be achieved by the democratization of Hungary as a whole, which made them advocates of Hungarian nationalism. This trend was contrasted by a late-19th-century movement wishing for "Jász County" (Greater Cumania included) to secede from Szolnok, mainly on economic grounds. Presided upon by Orbán Sipos, the last Jazyg Captain, and later by Albert Apponyi, it was opposed locally by István Horthy (father of the more famous Miklós Horthy). The idea of distinct representation was also revived in December 1918, weeks after the Aster Revolution, when Miksa Strobl proposed to federalize the First Hungarian Republic. Two of Strobl's "Hungarian cantons" were to be named after the Cumans and Jazyges.
