Revolutions and interventions in Hungary (1918–1920)
Post-WWI period in Hungary (1918–20) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There was a period of revolutions and interventions in Hungary between 1918 and 1920. The First Hungarian Republic was founded from the ruins of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by Mihály Károlyi during the Aster Revolution in 1918, at the end of World War I. In March 1919, the republic was overturned by another revolution, and the Hungarian Soviet Republic was created. Unresolved conflicts led to wars between Hungary and its neighbor states (Kingdom of Romania,[1] Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes[2][3] and the evolving Czechoslovakia[1]) in 1919. The Hungarian Soviet Republic ceased to exist after the Romanian occupation. The 1920 Treaty of Trianon in Versailles created the Kingdom of Hungary.
