Treaty of Trianon
The Treaty of Trianon is the peace treaty signed in 1920 between the Allies and Hungary.[1][2][3][4]
Hungary lost World War I and so the treaty gave about two thirds of its land and one third of its population to neighboring countries,[5] like Romania, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. The partition of Hungary brought irredentism, since many people in the lost lands were Hungarian and wanted to continue being part of Hungary.
As a result, about 400 000 people from the lost territories sought refuge in Hungary.[6]
Also, the treaty forced Hungary to pay reparations and to limit the size of its army.
