We may not be far from the truth if we say that public opinion in Hungary coincided with this view. When reviewing the foreign policy of the counter-revolutionary period, therefore, we can not omit to make a brie f survey of the preceding war years. Having been defeated in the war, the Monarchy collapsed and fell apart. The Allied Powers signed an armistice with Austria-Hungary in Padua on November 3,1918. The agreement provide d for the cessation of hostilities and the evacuation of the territories which troops of the Monarchy had occupied during the war. The line of demarcation was only drawn on the south-western front, the armistice line for Hungary was thus left to coincide with the his torical boundaries of the country (without Croatia).

    The History of the Slovak-Hungarian “Little War” and Its Interpretations in National Histories István Janek Before tackling the events of the “Little War”, let us take a brief outlook on the study of it in Hungarian and Slovak historical literature. A great number of Slovak histori- ans have written on this issue producing many articles and conference publications in Slovakia. Here I would like to highlight the most important ones from four his- OPEN ACCESS torians: Ladislav Deák, František Cséfalvay, Zoltán Katreba and Ján Petrik. A lot has been written on the air warfare between the two armies as well: Juraj Rejninec and Ján Petrik from Slovakia and Iván Pataky, László Rozsos together with Gyula Sárhidai and Csaba B. Stenge from Hungary must be mentioned.1 A thorough study of the dip- lomatic aspect has been done only by István Janek in Hungary.2 Ján Petrik has worked at the local history level and he also published a short but detailed monograph on the Hungarian bombing of Spiška Nová Ves.3 Cséfalvay and Katreba are military histori- ans who work for the Slovak Institution of Military History. They focus on the mili- tary events and publish in various Slovakian historical periodicals.4 Cséfalvay has also shown the political connections of military events.5 It is the merit of the works 1 J.

  • APPENDIX .A. Note on the Present Position of the Munich Agreement of 29 September 1938
    APPENDIX .A. Note on the Present Position of the Munich Agreement of 29 September 1938 THE Munich Agreement, concluded between Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy for the cession of the Sudeten German territory by Czecho­ slovakia, although officially dated 29 September 1938, was in reality signed in the small hours of the morning of 30 September. l To it was annexed a declaration by the British and French Governments guaranteeing the new boundaries of the Czechoslovak state against unprovoked aggression. Germany and Italy also agreed to give a similar guarantee to Czechoslovakia 'when the question of the Polish and Hungarian minorities in Czechoslovakia had been settled'. It was further declared that the problems of these minorities in Czechoslovakia, if not settled within three months by agreement between the respective Governments, 'shall form the subject of another meeting of the Heads of the Governments of the four Powers here present'. Because of its nature, the Munich Agreement was not subject to the usual forms of ratification, and no provision for such procedure was included in its text. Parliamentary approval was accorded to Mr Chamberlain and to M. Daladier, on 6 and 5 October respectively, by means of votes of confidence but by the time these had been given in the House of Commons and the Chamber of Deputies the terms of the Munich Agreement were already a fait accompli. On 2 November 1938 the German and Italian Foreign Ministers, Ribben­ trop and Ciano, handed down the First Vienna Award, which, without consultation with, or reference to, the British and French Governments, adjudicated the fate of the Polish and Hungarian minorities in Czechoslovakia, in violation of the annexe to the Munich Agreement.2 The structure set up by the Munich Agreement was destroyed on 15 March 1939 when Hitler proclaimed that 'Czechoslovakia has ceased to exist'.

  • Minority Politics of Hungary and Romania Between 1940 and 1944
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, EUROPEAN AND REGIONAL STUDIES, 16 (2019) 59–74 DOI: 10 .2478/auseur-2019-0012 Minority Politics of Hungary and Romania between 1940 and 1944. The System of Reciprocity and Its Consequences1 János Kristóf MURÁDIN PhD, Assistant Professor Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) Faculty of Sciences and Arts e-mail: muradinjanos@sapientia .ro Abstract . The main objective of the paper is to highlight the changes in the situation of the Hungarian minority in Romania and the Romanian minority in Hungary living in the divided Transylvania from the Second Vienna Arbitration from 30 August 1940 to the end of WWII . The author analyses the Hungarian and Romanian governments’ attitude regarding the new borders and their intentions with the minorities remaining on their territories . The paper offers a synthesis of the system of reciprocity, which determined the relations between the two states on the minority issue until 1944. Finally, the negative influence of the politics of reciprocity is shown on the interethnic relations in Transylvania . Keywords: Transylvania, Second Vienna Arbitration, border, minorities, politics of reciprocity, refugees Introduction According to the Second Vienna Arbitration of 30 August 1940, the northern part of Transylvania, the Szeklerland, and the Máramaros (in Romanian: Maramureş, in German: Maramuresch) region, which had been awarded to Romania twenty years earlier, were returned to Hungary (L . Balogh 2002: 5) . According to the 1941 census, the population of a total of 43,104 km2 of land under Hungarian jurisdiction (Thrirring 1940: 663) was 2,557,260, of whom 53 .6% were Hungarian and 39 .9% were Romanian speakers .

Prof. Dr. Hakan Kırımlı July, 2019 This thesis traces the steps of the Hungarian foreign policy from 1918 to 1946, and analyzes the impact of revisionism after the Treaty of Trianon on Hungarian foreign policy decisions and calculations after the First World War. Placing the Hungarian revisionism at its center, this thesis shows the different situation Hungary had as a South European power as an ally of Germany throughout the Second World War and subsequently under the Soviet occupation. It also argues that it was the interlinked Hungarian foreign policy steps well before 1941, the official Hungarian participation in the war, which made Hungary a belligerent country. Also, based largely on the American archival documents, this study places Hungary into a retrospective framework of the immediate post-war era in Europe, where the strong adherence to Nazi Germany and the Hungarian revisionism shaped the future of the country.

  • The German Military Mission to Romania, 1940-1941 by Richard L. Dinardo
    The German Military Mission to Romania, 1940–1941 By RICHARD L. Di NARDO hen one thinks of security assistance and the train- ing of foreign troops, W Adolf Hitler’s Germany is not a country that typically comes to mind. Yet there were two instances in World War II when Germany did indeed deploy troops to other countries that were in noncombat cir- cumstances. The countries in question were Finland and Romania, and the German mili- tary mission to Romania is the subject of this article. The activities of the German mission to Romania are discussed and analyzed, and some conclusions and hopefully a few take- aways are offered that could be relevant for military professionals today. Creation of the Mission The matter of how the German military mission to Romania came into being can be covered relatively quickly. In late June 1940, the Soviet Union demanded from Romania the cession of both Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. The only advice Germany could give to the Romanian government was to agree to surrender the territory.1 Fearful of further Soviet encroachments, the Roma- nian government made a series of pleas to Germany including a personal appeal from Wikimedia Commons King Carol II to Hitler for German military assistance in the summer of 1940. Hitler, Finnish Volunteer Battalion of German Waffen-SS return home from front in 1943 however, was not yet willing to undertake such a step. Thus, all Romanian requests were rebuffed with Hitler telling Carol that Romania brought its own problems upon itself by its prior pro-Allied policy.

    Theses of Doctoral (PhD) Dissertation József Szanyi M. Transcarpathia’s reannexation to Hungary (1938-1939). Autonomy, occupation, military action. Péter Pázmány Catholic University Faculty of Humanities and Arts Doctorate School of Historical Science Workshop for Economic, Regional and Political History Consultant: Dr. József Botlik 2017 I. Antecedents of the research, problem posing As a result of the peace system introduced after World War 1, the Transcarpathian Region (Kárpátalja), which is in the centre of my study, was annexed from Hungary to the newly established Czechoslovakia. After the Prague suzerainty of nearly two decades, by the late 1930s the Czechoslovakian state started to fall apart, which allowed Transcarpathia to become part of Hungary again. This long and complicated process can be divided into two important stages: first the flatland territories mainly inhabited by Hungarians got under Hungarian suzerainty in November 1938, then the highland territories mainly inhabited by Ruthenes were annexed to Hungary in March 1939 and supplemented as a result of the Slovak-Hungarian border clashes in April 1939. This period under study has relatively extensive bibliography, primarily written in the Hungarian, Ukrainian, Czech and English languages. At the same time, most part of the special literature examines this period mainly from the view of the states interested in the territory in accordance with the authors’ nationality; therefore, it was a huge task to compare and apply them with a focus on Transcarpathia. The sources of the relevant countries regarding the questions studied in the dissertation are available in Budapest, Prague and Transcarpathia in several languages. Accordingly, in my paper certain persons, settlements and the Transcarpathian Region itself are sometimes referred to by different names and spelling, depending on the way of writing in the given source of literature.

  • Hitler's Policy Towards the Soviet Union January 1933
    HITLER'S POLICY TOWARDS THE SOVIET UNION JANUARY 1933 - JUNE I94I by HARVEY LEONARD DYCK B.A., University of British Columbia, 195?< A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in International Studies We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 195>8 ABSTRACT Within a year of his accession to power, Hitler, by concluding a non-aggression pact with Poland and by bringing relations with Russia to an impasse, had revolut• ionized German foreign policy. This policy reversal was chosen, primarily, for tactical reasons and only second• arily for ideological reasons. Prom the outset, it is true, relations with Russia were made difficult by Hitler's per• secution of the German Communist Party and by his own hatred for Bolshevism. But it was only after Poland had twice threatened a preventative war against Germany and after Germany had become diplomatically isolated through her desertion of the League of Nations, that Hitler decided upon a rapprochement with Poland and a break with Russia. This policy was finalized by the German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact of January, 1934• The political orientation of German foreign policy, established by this pact, remained fixed in its outlines for the following five years. During these years, Hitler used the anti-Communist bogey.to justify his foreign policy coups and to ease his relations with Poland. Russia herself, he ignored as a power factor in opposition. Nor did he consider a political understanding with her. However, he did toy with the idea of her as an object of aggression.

  • Borders of Trianon Had Been Determined on May 8, 1919, One Year Before the Signing of the Peace Treaty
    FOREWORD The Peace Treaty of Trianon was Hungary’s turn of fate—a second Mohács. Hungary was compelled to sign it in one of the downturns of its history. Pál Teleki, the Prime Minister at that time who presented the peace treaty for parliamentary ratification, filed an indictment against himself in Parliament because he felt responsible... Recently, there has been increased interest concerning the Peace Treaty of Trianon. The subject of Trianon is inexhaustible. Nobody has yet written about Trianon in its complexity, and perhaps it will be long before anyone will. The subject is so complex that it must be studied from different angles, various scientific approaches, and using several methods. It remains unsettled, as its scholars can always discover new perspectives. This study - perhaps best described as a commentary - is not a scientific work. Rather, its goal is to enhance public awareness and offer a more current and realistic synthesis of the Peace Treaty of Trianon while incorporating more recent observations. Intended for a broad audience, its purpose is not to list historical events - as the historians have done and will continue to do - but rather to provide data regarding those geographic, economic and geo- political aspects and their correlation which have received inadequate attention in the literature on Trianon so far. Perhaps this work will also succeed in providing new perspectives. It is not as difficult to interpret and explain the text of the treaty as it is to write about and focus public attention on its spirit and its open and hidden aims. It is difficult - perhaps delicate - to write about its truths, how it really came about, and what effects it had on the Hungarian nation.

  • Hungarian Attempts at the Annexation of Slovakia in 1938 (Part II)
    CENTRAL EUROPEAN PAPERS 2013 / I / 2 51 Hungarian Attempts at the Annexation of Slovakia in 1938 (Part II) István JANEK Magyar Tudományos Akadémia, Bölcsészettudományi Központ, Történettudományi Intézet Research Centre for the Humanities, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Úri u. 53, 1014 Budapest, Hungary [email protected] After the Munich pact The Munich conference took place with the participation of the representatives of England, France, Germany and Italy on 29–30 September 1938. The Hungarian diplomacy tried to make a last effort to have an influence on the Slovak leaders, and therefore Kánya sent the following message to them through the Hungarian consul in Bratislava on 29 September 1938: “They should not ask for autonomy any more but demand the realisation of self-de- termination with all their power, and we shall support them in it. If they do not take our advice, they could blame only themselves.”2 The confidence of the Hungarian leadership was shaken by the fact that the Slovaks showed more and more willingness to turn towards the Germans instead of the Hungarians. As a consequence of the Munich talks, the western powers approved the annexation of the Sudetenland by Germany. Czechoslovakia did not undertake the military defence of the country; without the help of the great powers, it could not seriously think of resisting the German army, and therefore they had to sign the agreement. Ceding the Sudetenland had a catastrophic effect in economic and strategic terms. The Munich Pact sealed the fate of Czechoslovakia. Also Slovakia lost a few settlements: Petržalka,3 a suburb of Bratislava, and Devín4 (an area of 43 square kilometres with a population of 15,566)5 were annexed by Germany.
