About the Treaty of Trianon

Hungary joined WWI as part of the long-ago Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In the end, WWI cost the life 660,000 beloved Hungarian military personnel lives. On the top of being part of those countries who lost, Hungary had to pay a big price: the Treaty of Trianon included taking away a gigantic part of Hungary’s territory including millions of Hungarian citizens living there.
