1921 The Treaty of
Trianon & the Dismemberment
of the Kingdom of Hungary
The Treaty of Trianon
is the peace treaty
concluded at the end of
World War I by the Allies of
World War I, on one side,
and Hungary, seen as a
successor of
Austria-Hungary, on the
other. It established the
borders of Hungary and
regulated its international
situation. Hungary lost over
two-thirds of its territory
and about two-thirds of its
inhabitants under the
treaty.[1]. The principal
beneficiaries of territorial
adjustment were Romania,
Czechoslovakia, and the
Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes. The treaty was
signed on June 4, 1920, at
the Grand Trianon Palace in
Versailles, France. |

The publication should
also be of particular interest to descendants of Danube Swabians who have been
wondering about actual procedures that Tito’s partisans employed in wiping out the
ethnic group. In a variety of ways, my account also has relevance regarding criminal
actions against indigenous Germans elsewhere in the country, from 1944 until 1948.
