Hungarian-Romanian War - 3 Minute History

Post-WWI Hungary faced political upheaval, starting with the Astor Revolution and Mihaly Karolyi's leadership. Bela Kun's communist regime rose, leading to conflicts with Romania and Czechoslovakia. Internal strife and coups ensued, with Admiral Horthy eventually taking power. The Treaty of Trianon further reduced Hungary's borders, leaving many Hungarians in foreign lands.
