The Austro Hungarian Monarchy in 1899
HUNGARY AFTER THE TREATY OF PARIS 1920 The Treaty of Paris was a series of peace agreements of 1920 to formally end World War I between most of the Allies of World War I and the Kingdom of Hungary, the latter one of the successor states to Austria Hungary. The treaty regulated the status of an independent Hungarian state and defined its borders 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. 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) remained outside of post Paris Hungary. Five of the pre war kingdom s ten largest cities were drawn into the neighbouring countries. The treaty limited Hungary s army to 35,000 officers and men. The treaty was signed on 4 June 1920 in Versailles, France and registered in League of Nations Treaty Series on 24 August 1921.
