Romanian-Hungarian War of 1919

Romanian-Hungarian War of 1919


The Hungarian-Romanian war of 1919 started as a drive by the Romanian army to control the territory of Transylvania, that proclaimed union with Romania on December 1, 1918, evolved in a full-fledged war against Hungary when the bolsheviks came to power in Hungary and its army attempted in April 1919 to take back control over Transylvania. The war ended with the destruction of the Hungarian Soviet Republic and the Romanian occupation of parts of Hungary proper, including its capital Budapest in August 1919.
