The situation in Hungary became increasingly clear after Romania defeated the People's Army and captured Budapest. When the belated Allied troops arrived in Hungary (mainly French troops), the fate of the Hungarian Communist Party was already doomed.
Although the People's Army used this time to strengthen its army and sent troops to seize the Slovakia region and drove the Czech troops in the area back to Prague, the Soviet government currently in Zell faced the intervention force organized by a multinational coalition.
It's already considered the end of the road.
As a member of the Allied Powers, the Romanian Intervention Army commanded by General Salamik also sent 60,000 troops to participate in this final blow against the Hungarian Soviet government.
Marshal Louis Desprey, the French general who served as the supreme commander of the Allied Powers in Hungary, also knew what to do. He did not arrange any important tasks for the hard-working Romanian army, but instead assigned them the responsibility of intercepting the breakout of the Hungarian Communist Party who might flee.
Marshal Desprey is also an old acquaintance of the Romanian military. He is a well-known representative of France's offensive policy. He performed very well in resisting the German invasion on the Western Front. However, he later competed for Joseph Joffre to step down.
When he was appointed commander-in-chief of the French army, Franchet Desprey lost to Robert Nivelle.
Later, one of the conditions for Romania's participation in the war required the Allies to contain the Bulgarian army in Macedonia. So Paris sent Marshal Despere to Macedonia to uniformly command the Allied forces in the region. Therefore, Marshal Despere was quite familiar with the Romanian army.
Outside the city of Zell, Allied armies from France, the United States, Serbia and other countries surrounded the last city of the Hungarian Communist Party. Among these armies was an army flying the Hungarian tricolor flag.
Yes, the Hungarian Republican Army participated in this final blow against the communist regime. As a republican regime that had just moved from Kaposvár to Budapest, of course it would not let go of these red elements. In order to show its attitude to the civilized world,
Of course, the republican armed forces commanded by Admiral Horthy must show their faces here.
In order to gain the support of the Allied Powers and be able to return to Budapest, the Karolyi regime certainly had no room to reply to the Allied Powers' demands. When soldiers from all the Allied Powers came to help suppress the rebellion, Karolyi could not ignore the importance, otherwise he would not be able to do anything.
Well, they will be treated as rebels and put down.
Therefore, the Karolyi government also hates the Hungarian Communist Party headed by Bela Kun. It is these red elements who have left Hungary with no room for maneuver. It is they who have caused Hungary to suffer the current suffering. It is they who have divided the Hungarian people into different groups.
country. Everything is the fault of these red elements, and just to save this country, I and others had to make this decision against our will.
Sometimes I have to say that Ah Q's method of spiritual victory still has some effect. Although it is still about ceding territory through compensation, putting it on the guise of saving the country's people is like covering a rotten fruit with a layer of syrup, at least it can barely be swallowed.
Therefore, after capturing the city of Zell, the Hungarian republican government had to send people to negotiate a defeat treaty with the Allies. However, despite this, the Hungarian republican government still fantasized about using President Wilson to reduce Hungary's losses. For this reason, its Foreign Minister Kordamik
Find U.S. President Wilson and ask him for the United States to intercede and reduce part of the Hungarian territory that was ceded to other countries and the compensation.
Wilson, who was so angry deep down that he could allow the United States to accuse Britain and France from a moral high ground, would certainly not refuse. For this reason, he accused Britain and France at the beginning of the negotiations. This was not negotiating for peace, but
Create new points of conflict in areas.
As soon as President Wilson started talking, he started blaming Britain and France for various problems. This slowly expanded from Hungary to the whole of Europe. He also vented his dissatisfaction at the Paris Peace Conference. Ministers Kordamik and I watched.
The other representatives were stunned.
Is just venting useful? From a personal point of view, it is useful. It calms down President Wilson's mood a lot, and at least it is good for his own health.
From a national perspective, this was of no use. I saw Prime Minister George and Prime Minister Clemenceau listening to his words with smiles on their faces, and even the Prime Minister accidentally yawned. This made other representatives express their disapproval of President Wilson.
The United States, represented by the United States, was skeptical of Europe's influence.
In fact, President Wilson was also confused about this. The United States did make money from this war, and a lot of it. But it was really helpless when it came to the penetration of European influence. The image established by Britain and France over hundreds of years,
It won't collapse overnight. At present, countries' understanding of Britain and France has not changed much. They only know a lot about the image of the United States, but the United States' hands are still separated by the Atlantic Ocean, which is indeed a bit far away.
The results of the final negotiations confirmed the representatives' predictions about President Wilson.
After more than ten days of discussions, a peace treaty was finally signed between Hungary and the Allied Powers at the Grand Trianon Palace in Versailles. It was called the Treaty of Trianon as historically, and its main provisions are as follows.
Article 1: All countries and Hungary will cease war and a series of hostile acts with immediate effect.
Article 2: As the initiator of the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has an inescapable responsibility for this war. The Hungarian government, as one of the successors of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, must accept punishment for this.
Territorial penalties; Hungary ceded Slovakia to the Czech Republic. Most of Burgenland went to Austria. Transylvania and east of the Tisza River, as well as eastern Carpathian Mountains, Ruthenia went to Romania. Croatia
, the western part of Banat was assigned to the Kingdom of Serbia.
At the same time, the Danube River, as the main river in many local countries, will also be co-managed by the international community. (Britain, France, Italy, Austria, Yugoslavia, Romania, and Hungary will jointly form the Danube River Management Committee.)
In terms of military, Hungary has a universal military service system, and its army size must not exceed 8,000 people (3,000 more than in history).
Economically, Hungary, as the country that initiated the war, will receive war compensation of 100 million francs. Half of it will be paid to Serbia, and the rest will be divided among other countries.
After the treaty was signed, Hungary lost 78% of its land area and its population dropped significantly from 0.8 million to 7.4 million. (900,000 more than in history, which shows the efforts of Romania)
With the signing of this treaty, more than a thousand Hungarians were assigned to other countries. I just don’t know if these people who were used to being lords in the Austro-Hungarian Empire could bear the sight of other ethnic groups turning into serfs to sing songs.
.It’s just that this time they don’t have the Austro-Hungarian Empire to support them. (To be continued)
