Treaty of Versailles: Hungary's almost complete destruction 100 years ago (video)
As a result of the unjust Treaty of Trianon, Hungary lost three-quarters of its territories and two-thirds of its population. The victorious Entente Powers - primarily England and France - decided to decimate Hungary at the end of the First World War and so the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 4, 1920 in the Trianon Palace. In the past 1000 years, the Hungarian Kingdom, situated in Central Europe in the Carpathian Basin, was an economically and geographically stable state. Yet, they decided to disannex most of its territories and out of a population of almost 21 million, 13 million people were forced to live in the surrounding alien and hostile countries. England, France and the other victorious powers punished Hungary - part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire - for being the ally of Germany. Needless to say that this punishment was undue and very unfair. The Entente Powers gave ethnically homogenous Hungarian territories to Czechoslovakia, Romania, Austria, and to the Serbian-Croatian-Slovenian Kingdom. In the last 100 years, there was no other country in Europe that was victimized in such a way as Hungary was. This short film addresses this injustice. KÜLDJE EL KÜLFÖLDI ISMERŐSEINEK!
