Trianon

The Treaty of Trianon was a peace agreement signed in 1920 after World War I between Hungary and the Allies. It significantly reduced Hungary’s territory, dividing its land among neighboring countries like Romania, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. This resulted in Hungary becoming a smaller nation, impacting its population, economy, and national identity. The treaty aimed to create stable borders and promote peace but also caused lasting national dissatisfaction and cultural disruptions, especially among ethnic Hungarians living outside the new borders. It remains a key event in Hungarian history, shaping its modern borders and identity.
