Summary

Under the terms of the Treaty of Trianon of 1920 concluding the First World War, the territory of Hungary was reduced from 325,000 (or, discounting Croatia, autonomous within the kingdom of Hungary, 282,000) to 93,000 sq. km, while her population fell from around 20 million to 7.6 million inhabitants. With this Hungary went from a medium-sized country to one of the region’s small states; by comparison, in terms of territory Poland was more than four times the size of Hungary; Romania more than three times; the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes nearly three times; and Czechoslovakia one and a half times. Romania received the largest area (103,000 sq. km) with more than 5 million inhabitants.
