Trianon Treaty

The Treaty of Trianon was a peace agreement signed in 1920 after World War I, primarily between Hungary and the Allies. It dramatically reduced Hungary's territory, splitting it into several new and expanded states, such as Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Yugoslavia. The treaty aimed to reshape borders based on ethnic and political considerations but left Hungary feeling unfairly treated and nationalistically aggrieved. It significantly impacted Hungary's population distribution, economy, and national identity, and its effects contributed to regional tensions and future conflicts in Central Europe.
