Treaty of Trianon-Hungary's Amputation

The reason I posted the previous blog, was because I wanted to talk about my homeland, and the anti semitism that existed there in the past, and sadly still does today. As a ten year old child who defected from Hungary in 1970 I had no understanding of the historical events of our past. Now, I am asking questions. I did not know who imprisoned my uncle in Siberia, the Russians or the Germans, I only knew that he came back weighing only 45 kg, he was fortunate to be alive. I just now learned, that he was captured by the Russians for having been on the German side, and forced into a labour camp like millions of others in WWII. In 1920, Germany lost the war, and Hungary was with Germany. As a result, the winning parties, especially the French in 1920, June 4 forced a Peace Treaty on Hungary called the Trianoni Peace Treaty., which forced Hungary to give up two thirds of it's land mass. Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Yugoslavia, and even Austria got our land, as a penalty for our involvement in the first war.  Hungary was unfortunately on the side of the Germans for both wars. Horty Miklos, decided to side with Hitler, in the second world war  and as a result, Hungarians were obligated to gather the Jews, to be sent to concentration camps.

The Treaty of Trianon was the peace agreement of 1920 to formally end World War I between most of the Allies of World War I[1] and the Kingdom of Hungary, the latter one of the successor states to Austria-Hungary.[2][3][4][5] The treaty regulated the status of an independent Hungarian state and defined its borders. The treaty left Hungary as a landlocked state covering 93,073 square kilometres (35,936 sq mi), only 28% of the 325,411 square kilometres (125,642 sq mi) that had constituted the pre-war Kingdom of Hungary (the Hungarian half of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy). Its population was 7.6 million, only 36% of the pre-war kingdom's population of 20.9 million.[6] The areas that were allocated to neighbouring countries in total (and each of them separately) possessed a majority of non-Hungarian population, but 31% of Hungarians (3.3 million)[7] were left outside of post-Trianon Hungary.[8][9][10] Five of the pre-war kingdom's ten largest cities were drawn into other countries. The treaty limited Hungary's army to 35,000 officers and men, while the Austro-Hungarian Navy ceased to exist.
The principal beneficiaries of the treaty's territorial division were the Kingdom of Romania, Czechoslovakia, and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia). One of the main elements of the treaty was the doctrine of "self-determination of peoples" and it was an attempt to give the non-Hungarians their own national states.[11] In addition, Hungary had to pay war reparations to its neighbours. The treaty was dictated by the Allies rather than negotiated and the Hungarians had no option but to accept its terms.[11] The Hungarian delegation signed the treaty under protest[8][12] on 4 June 1920 at the Grand Trianon Palace in Versailles, France. The treaty was registered in League of Nations Treaty Series on 24 August 1921.[13]
The modern boundaries of Hungary are the same as those defined by the Treaty of Trianon except for three villages that were transferred to Czechoslovakia in 1947.

Under the admiral  Horty Miklos, in 1930, Hitler promised that if Hungary stands with  him, then they will give back our land that was taken in 1920, and we stood with him. Horty did not want Hitler to trample down Hungary so he let him in without a fight. Later Horty realized that Hitler did not keep his word, and he wished to leave the agreemet he made with Hitler. Horty realized that he was powerless to protect the Jews, and by the hundreds of thousands the Hungarian soldiers were sent to their death, to Russia. Hitler then captured Horty's son Horty Istvan and held him as ransom. Then the Hungarian Nacis,(called nyilas-ok as they were called)  took Horty out of power and Szalasi Ferenc became the new Hungarian leader.He sided with Hitler till the very end of the war. Seeing this, Hitler did give back Romania, Slovakia etc, so in turn Hungarians gathered all the Jews for his favour, and they got herded into cattle trains and taken to horrible concentration camps most of whom died there. Back to history.....included is a short video in respect to those days, 20 years later we regained the "big" Hungary in 1940 uder Horty Miklos' leadership. This is why we made a pact with Germany. This is why the people of Erdely awaited the Hungarian army, and were rejoicing that they would now be free from the opression of the Romanians. Unfortunatley, they are still suffering in Romania today.

The live accounts below illustrate the extent of what women did to avoid being raped by the armies from the east. Distorting themselves, not washing, wearing old scarves and shawls, covering themselves with coal dust were often used techniques. This movie reveals how and why approximately 200,000 women were savagely defiled and raped by the Ukranian army.  See the "Silenced Shame"  below.
