After 4 years of war between 1914 and 1918, the Allies marked their victory by signing different treaties, like the Treaty of Trianon. Indeed, this treaty was signed on the fourth of June 1920 in Versailles by, on the one hand, most of the Allies (the UK, France, the USA, Italy, the Kingdom of Romania, the Czechoslovak Republic, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) and on the other hand, the defeated Austro-Hungarian Empire, represented by a Hungarian delegation. It happened just after the Treaty of Versailles signed on the 28th of June 1919 in which the Allies created lots of economic and military sanctions against defeated Germany and its allies.
[...] What Consequences did the Treaty of Trianon have on Hungary? INTRODUCTION: After 4 years of war between 1914 and 1918, the Allies marked their victory by signing different treaties, like the Treaty of Trianon. Indeed, this treaty was signed on the fourth of June 1920 in Versailles by, on the one hand, most of the Allies (the UK, France, the USA, Italy, the Kingdom of Romania [HYPERLINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Romania], the Czechoslovak Republic [HYPERLINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Czechoslovak_Republic], the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes [HYPERLINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia]) and on the other hand, by the defeated Austro-Hungarian Empire, represented by a Hungarian delegation.

[...] CONCLUSION : The treaty of Trianon remains a trauma for Hungarian people. Indeed, besides its terrible economic consequences by preventing Hungary from its natural ressources, by interrupting commercial roads, and by taking away some strategic geographic points like the harbor of Rijeka, this treaty caused serious damages on the demographic side, taking half of the Hungarian population away. Indeed, by creating new borders, it put the Hungarian unity in a very difficult position : Hungarian minorities across the borders were discriminated in their new countries and lost their rights in Hungary. [...]
[...] Indeed, we can see that this treaty mostly affected Hungary on the short term. It remains important to remind that, on the medium and long term, the treaty did not weaken Hungary as much as it is commonly proposed. Indeed, natural ressources were no longer key determinants of economic growth between the two world wars, so its loss of mines and forests did not affect the economy that much at this time. On the geopolitical side, Hungary's army was hugely lowered: it was reduced to 35,000 men (against 1,400,000 soldiers in 1918) with no conscription. [...]
[...] Despite this delay, a minute of silence was respected in Budapest on the 4th of June 2020 : any public transport and car had to stop, as they stopped 100 years before when the signature was announced. The fact that this treaty is seen as a trauma is such an important phenomenon that it even was named by historians : the Trianon syndrome. It is the resentment about the treaty of Trianon and the belief that Hungary was better in the past. [...]
