T reaty of T rianon (1920)

The Treaty of Trianon (1920) was a peace treaty and territorial settlement drawn up for Hungary by the victorious Allied and Associated Powers at the end of the First World War. The treaty was signed on June 4, 1920, at the Palace of Grand Trianon, a part of the Versailles palace compound outside Paris, without significant prior consultation with Hungarian representatives. Having failed to ratify this treaty, the United States later concluded a separate peace treaty with Hungary. The settlement dismembered the historic kingdom of Hungary, allotting its extensive borderlands to the successor states of the defunct Austro‐Hungarian monarchy. Constructed, in theory, to create ethnically homogeneous nation‐states, the treaty left sizable Hungarian minorities in most of the successor states which embittered relations between them and Hungary during the interwar years.
