Same reason most English colonies hate them. Or similar reasons as to why the French colonies hate the French. Or perhaps similar to how most Spanish colonies dislike the Spanish.

Same.

Currently, mostly a joke. But they were a massive colony who didn't allow self governance and forced high royal taxes.
What happened to Hungary?

World War I began when Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia in July 1914...
Also they lost a lot of land due to having a very weak nationality.

If you guys are referring to American animosity to the British that led to the American Revolution, it all boils down to British abuse of their colonies to fuel their wars in Europe.

Americans just wanted to be left alone in their far-flung settlements, content with farming and other economic/religious stuff. But their British overlords, forever intervening in Continental Europe's wars, kept imposing taxes to fund their military adventures.

So the Americans had enough, and sought to break off the British Empire.

As for cultural animosity? Can be summarized to: the Brits look at Americans as their "savage" children, devoid of culture and complexity (their backwater colonies), while the Americans view the Brits as "sensitive" soy boys who can't even stand on their own in big conflicts.

This is just based on observation. An American and a British can shed more light in this; I'm a Filipino, so...

Ahem.

As for Hungary, this country was once part of an empire known as Austria-Hungary. Back then, Austria-Hungary was a dual crown, basically separate states united by a single ruler, which is the Habsburg Emperor.

So, when Austria-Hungary marched into Serbian territory at start of WW1, it dragged the Hungarians into the war. And the Central Powers of Europe, of which, Austria-Hungary is part of, lost.

Hungary technically lost both WW1 and WW2.

Hungary was, as someone already explained, a major part of Austro-Hungarian Empire, and once the WW1 ended, they lost a lot of their territory, their kingdom (a major part of Austria-Hungary) once held to surrounding states, because Allies gutted AH apart.

Then they went through another war, through communist uprising, their monarchy, and then dictatorship (led my admiral with no navy), and they joined Axis powers in WW2.

Then Axis powers lost the World War 2, and the Hungary was occupied by Russia.

Then Hungary become communist dictatorship (well, again) and of course, there was another uprising of course...

Then Soviet Union fell, and Hungary became "democracy"

Then it joined European Union and NATO

Currently, their main activity is trolling NATO they are part of.

Colonizing, suppressing culture, being inhumane, etc. The list could go on and on. It was so long ago though that has become ingrained in the culture to never forgive them. In some cases though, it has become more of a meme than pure hate.

Britain did occupy almost a fifth of Earth's total landmass during the height of its power from the end of the Napoleonic Wars to the eve of World War 1. So vast was their empire that it gained the sobriquet "The empire in which the sun never sets" coz at any given time, there's always a part of Britain that is morning.

Another interesting watershed event to look at is the Battle of Mohacs, where the Hungarian Army led by King Louis was defeated by the Ottomans, and the king himself died after drowning while on the retreat.

King Louis' death extinguished the line of Hungarian kings before the Habsburgs, and effectively divided and subjugated the former mighty medieval kingdom of Hungary between the Habsburgs, Ottomans, and Transylvania.

Only the nationalist movements that came up during the 1848 revolutions did cause the Hungarians to seriously consider being independent, which led to the 1848 compromise, and the establishment of the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary.
@Corty I didn't know that Hungary was real!?
Don't give us that question. You're telling us you didn't go hungry? Not even once?

So basically Once upon a time, Britain gobbled up a fifth of the planet, flexing so hard that the sun literally gave up on setting. Meanwhile, Hungary faceplanted into disaster at Mohács, their king drowning mid-retreat like a tragic slapstick skit. Cue centuries of Habsburg drama until 1848 shook things up.

Taxes.

Dracula! ?‍♂️
Well, to be fair, Vlad Dracul or the OG Dracula is a freedom fighter in his native land, having struggled to maintain his fief's sovereignty against the clashing medieval Hungary and the emerging Ottomans.

It's just that, one of his favorite tactics is the use of terror in the form of impalement, and his enemies in Hungary and other Catholic states didn't like his brutal, yet effective tactics that eventually the word 'Dracula' became synonymous with a blood-drinking monster.
