Day of National Togetherness

Culture

Day of National Togetherness commemorates the anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Trianon on 4 June 1920.

The Treaty of Trianon was the peace agreement signed at the end of World War I, between the Allies of World War I and Hungary. The treaty regulated the status of an independent Hungarian state and defined its borders. The treaty left post-Trianon Hungary with 93,073 km2 only 28% of the 325,411 km2 that had constituted the prewar Hungary. Its population was 7.6 million, only 36% of the prewar kingdom’s population of 20.9 million. 31% of ethnic Hungarians who lived in the pre-war kingdom lived outside the newly defined borders of post-Trianon Hungary.
