The Trianon peace decree was imposed on Hungary on June 4, 1920, as a result of which our territory of 320,000 square kilometers shrank to 90,000, and 11 million Hungarians out of our 18 million population were stranded outside our borders.
After the announcement of the Trianon peace decree, the bells rang, and the day of mourning began. Hungary did not have such a strong ally to alleviate the huge loss. Therefore, additional territorial claims have intensified.
After the acquisition of Transylvania, the Romanians also advocated the annexation of the Great Plain. The Czechoslovaks planned a 150-kilometer-wide western corridor, which would practically have meant the end of statehood. In the south, the fight was going on for Muravidék, the Vendvidék Republic was proclaimed, and in response, the Yugoslav army invaded the Hungarian villages.
That's when the Italians and the Americans came to their senses, thwarting the corridor and supporting local referendums. This allowed us to get something back.
The Hungarian nation is stronger today than at any time in the last hundred years - wrote Minister of Finance Mihály Varga on his social media page. He posted the video with which we prepared for the 100th anniversary this time last year.
