UNITED KINGDOM
The era of Regent Horthy and the Order of Vitéz (1920-1946)
Trianon
The Treaty of Trianon (4 June 1920)
The Treaty of Trianon was signed on 4 June 1920 at the Grand Trianon Palace in Versailles. As a result of the treaty that formally concluded the First World War, Hungary lost approximately two-thirds of its territory and population, making the Treaty of Trianon one of the greatest catastrophes in Hungarian history.
First Vienna Award
The Re-annexation of Upper Hungary
(2 November 1938)
The First Vienna Award was concluded on 2 November 1938 at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna. Germany and Italy decided that the predominantly Hungarian-inhabited territories of Upper Hungary (Felvidék), which had been awarded to Czechoslovakia under the
Treaty of Trianon, would be returned to Hungary.
The Reoccupation of Carpathian Ruthenia
(15 March 1939)
The 1939 reoccupation of Carpathian Ruthenia was a military operation carried out by the Royal Hungarian Army between 15 and 18 March 1939 against Carpatho-Ukraine, which had declared its independence on 15 March. During the operation, Hungarian forces occupied the entire territory of Carpathian Ruthenia, which subsequently remained part of the Kingdom of Hungary until October 1944.
Second Vienna Award
The Re-annexation of Transylvania
(30 August 1940)
The Second Vienna Award was concluded on 30 August 1940 at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna. The foreign ministers of Nazi Germany and Italy awarded Northern Transylvania, which had been ceded under the Treaty of Trianon, back to Hungary. The territory covered approximately 43,000 square kilometres and had a population of around 2.5 million.
The Return of the Southern Territories (11 April 1941)
On 11 April 1941, troops of the Royal Hungarian Army crossed the former Hungarian–Yugoslav border in order to bring Bačka, Međimurje and the Baranja Triangle under Hungarian control. Hungary thereby joined the attack against the collapsing Yugoslav state, which, contrary to prior fears, did not yet result in a British declaration of war.
