Romanian Eagle

Chapter 398: Treaty of Trianon

The situation in Hungary became increasingly clear after Romania defeated the People's Army to seize Budapest, and when the belated Allied troops arrived in Hungary (mainly French), the fate of the Hungarian Communist Party was already doomed.

Although the People's Army used this time to strengthen its army, it also sent troops to capture the Slovak region and drove the Czech troops in the region back to Prague. However, in the face of the intervening army organized by many countries, the current Soviet government in Zell has been regarded as a dead end.

As a member of the Allied Powers, the Romanian Intervention Army under the command of General Salamick also sent 60,000 troops to participate in the final blow to the Hungarian Soviet government.

And Marshal Louis Desperet, the French general who served as the highest commander of the Entente in Hungary, also knew what to do. No important tasks were arranged for the hard-working Romanian army, but instead they were tasked with intercepting the breakout of the Hungarian Communist Party who might flee.

Marshal Despere is also an old acquaintance of the Romanian military, the representative of France's more famous offensive strategy. It performed quite well in resisting the German invasion on the Western Front. It's just that Francie Desperet lost to Robert Neville when he later competed for the post of commander-in-chief of the French army that Joseph Chaffey stepped down from.

Later, one of the conditions for Romania's participation in the war required the Allies to contain the Bulgarian army in Macedonia. So Paris sent Marshal Desperet to Macedonia to command the Allied forces in the region. So for the Romanian army, Marshal Despere is quite familiar.

Outside the city of Zell, the Allied armies of France, the United States, Serbia and other countries surrounded the last city of the Hungarian Communist Party. Among these armies was an army with the Hungarian tricolor.

That's right, the Hungarian Republican Army participated in this final blow to the communist regime. As a republican regime that has just moved to Budapest from Kaposburg, of course, these red elements will not be spared. In order to show its attitude to the civilized world, the republican armed forces commanded by Admiral Horty must of course show their faces here.

In order to gain the support of the Entente and be able to return to Budapest, the Carrolli regime certainly had no room for retaliation to the demands of the Entente. When the soldiers of the Allied countries came to help fight the rebellion, Caroli could not ignore the importance of it, otherwise they would be pacified as rebels.

Therefore, the Karoli government also hated the Hungarian Communist Party headed by Bela Kuhn. It was these red elements that gave Hungary no room for manoeuvre, they caused Hungary to suffer so far, and they caused the Hungarian people to be divided into different countries. Everything is the fault of these red elements, and he and others had to make this unintentional decision just to save the country.

Sometimes I have to say that Ah Q's spiritual victory method still has some effect. Although it is the same as reparation, putting on the cloak of saving the people of the country is like putting a layer of syrup on the rotten fruit.

At least barely able to swallow.

Therefore, after capturing the city of Zell, the Hungarian Republican government had to send people to negotiate a treaty of defeat with the Allied Powers. But despite this, the Hungarian Republican government still fantasizes that through President Wilson, Hungary will reduce its losses. To this end, its Foreign Minister Kordamik found US President Wilson and asked him to intercede for the United States to reduce and exempt part of the Hungarian territory and indemnity that had been ceded to other countries.

Of course, Wilson, who can make the United States accuse Britain and France from a moral high ground, will not refuse. For this reason, at the very beginning of the negotiations, he accused Britain and France of not negotiating for peace, but creating new conflict points in the region.

As soon as President Wilson's words were opened, he criticized Britain and France for various problems. Slowly expanding from Hungary to the whole of Europe. And he vented the dissatisfaction he suffered in the Paris Peace Conference, and Minister Kordamik and other representatives were stunned.

Is this just a vent useful? It is useful from a personal point of view, which makes President Wilson calm down a lot, at least for his own health.

From a national perspective, it's useless. I didn't see Prime Minister George and Prime Minister Clemenceau listening to him with a smile, and even the Prime Minister yawned accidentally. This made other delegates doubt the influence of the United States, represented by President Wilson, in Europe.

In fact, President Wilson was also confused about this. The United States did make money from this war, and it was not a lot. However, it is really quite helpless for the penetration of European influence. The images that Britain and France have built over hundreds of years will not collapse overnight. At present, countries' perceptions of Britain and France have not changed much. It's just that I know a lot about the image of the United States, but the hand of the United States is still separated by the Atlantic Ocean, which is indeed a little farther.

The results of the final negotiations also confirmed the delegates' predictions on President Wilson.

After more than ten days of discussions, a peace treaty was finally signed between Hungary and the Entente at the Grand Trianon Palace in Versailles. Known as historically as the Treaty of Trianon, the main terms of which are as follows.

Article 1: All countries and Hungary immediately cease a series of hostile acts such as war.

Article 2: As the party that initiated the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has an inescapable responsibility for this war, and the Hungarian government, as one of the successors of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, must be punished for this.

Territorial punishment; Hungary cedes Slovakia to the Czech Republic. Most of Burgenland belongs to Austria. Transylvania and east of the Tisza River, and Rothenia east of the Carpathian Mountains are assigned to Romania. Croatia and western Banat were placed under the Kingdom of Serbia.

At the same time, the Danube, as a major river in many countries, will also be jointly managed by the international community. (England, France, Italy, Austria, Yugoslavia, Romania and Hungary will jointly form the Danube Management Committee.)

In terms of the military, Hungary has a universal military service system, and its army should not exceed 38,000 people. (3,000 more than history)

Economically, Hungary, as the country that initiated the war, will receive 2.2 billion francs of war reparations. Half of the compensation goes to Serbia, and the rest is divided among other countries.

After the treaty was signed, Hungary lost 78% of its land area and its population dropped significantly from 20.8 million to 7.4 million. (900,000 more than in history, showing Romania's efforts)

And more than a thousand Hungarians were also assigned to other countries with the signing of this treaty. I just don't know if these people, who were used to being uncles in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, can bear the situation of other ethnic groups turning into serfs and singing. Only this time, there is no Austria-Hungary Empire to support them.
