The fact that the Hungarian government sent military missions rather than diplomatic envoys is actually related to the current political situation in the country's neighborhood.

With the end of the war in Europe, Hungarians began to feel the pressure from outside, and Horthy finally began to worry about the country's security.

The proliferation of Magyar chauvinism in the country has left the Hungarians with little real ally.

Previously, the alliance between Germany and Hungary was more like a business, with a blockade of resources in Germany requiring Hungary to provide it with vital bauxite and agricultural products, and Hungary needed German political, diplomatic, and military support in return.

By this time, Hungary had transformed into a purely agrarian state, and all this was caused by the Treaty of Triano.

At the end of the First World War, the Austro-Khalinarian Empire finally collapsed, and Hungary gained political independence while inheriting the war responsibilities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

At this time, the Magyar aristocratic regime, which took over the power, faced not only the trauma and humiliation caused by the defeat, but also the overall decline and collapse of the domestic economy, as well as the impetuous and turbulent social sentiment.

The new Hungarian border demarcation agreement drawn up by the Allies meant that the country would lose a large part of its territory and population, which directly aroused the dissatisfaction and anger of the common people against the Magyar aristocracy.

The Hungarian parliamentary regime, with Count Karloi as prime minister, was completely unable to defy the decision of the Entente, but at the same time it was unwilling to sign the humiliating agreement.

Faced with this seemingly hopeless mess, His Excellency the Count and his cabinet simply resigned en masse and handed over power to the Hungarian Social Democrats, who had previously been the most happy in the audience.

The Magyar aristocracy collectively threw off the pot, and the Social Democrats sat down, and when they were offstage, they fought super happily one by one, and when they really sat in this position, they found that there was a red-hot iron plate under their buttocks.

The Hungarian Social Democrats did not dare to sign the agreement, and no one wanted to become a "traitor" who had been infamous for 10,000 years.

They have their eyes on the Hungarian Communist Party, which has just been established for less than five months, and despite the fact that this party has been established for a short time, it is not comparable to the scum of the Social Democratic Party, both in the background and in combat effectiveness.

At that time, the leader of the Hungarian Communist Party, Kuhn. Bella was locked up in a prison in Budapest, waiting for the trial of the reactionary aristocracy, when a man suddenly ran into the prison and told him that he wanted to divide the power equally.

After determining that the Social Democrats were a bunch of mentally retarded neuropaths, Kuhn. Bella, of course, will not be polite, he has long wanted to start a Soviet-style red revolution in Hungary.

Kuhn had no problem with working with the Social Democrats, because he was confident enough to take the lead in the hands of this group of weak chickens.

On March 21, 1919, the Hungarian Soviet Republic was officially established.

It was the first truly legitimate Soviet Red regime in Europe itself, and the first thing it did after its establishment was to purge the government of Social Democrats, then to reorganize the Red Army and the People's Police Force, and at the same time openly refused to implement any Entente agreement on the partition of Hungary.

Then the nascent Red regime launched a vigorous socialist transformation movement in Hungary. The Hungarian Communist Party copied almost entirely the methods used by the Soviet Union during the domestic revolution, such as forcibly confiscating the landlords' land, nationalizing the industrial and mining enterprises of the capitalists, and inflicting the iron fist and bullets of the revolution on the remnants of the old empire who were intent on resisting the transformation.

The early members of the Hungarian Communist Party were Hungarian prisoners of war released from the Soviet Union. It was in the prisoner of war camp that Béla received communist ideas, before the October Revolution broke out, and in 1917 he was summoned to Moscow by the Soviet government, where he was personally received by Lenin, who was regarded as the spark of the Hungarian left-wing revolution and was strongly supported by the Soviet side.

Kuhn. Béla regarded himself as a pioneer of the revolution, had deep seniority and influence in the international communist organization, and even at the behest of Lenin, he once confronted Trotsky at a meeting of the Comintern together with a group of overseas Communist Party representatives.

Let's not talk about the tragedy of Béla here, but only the fate of the Hungarian Soviet Republic.

How could the Entente tolerate the emergence of a communist regime in the hinterland of Europe, and that it would happen under their own noses, this is no longer a slap in the face of the Entente, it is simply digging the ancestral graves of these capitalist powers.

However, because the First World War had just ended, the Allies had suffered heavy losses in the war, the anti-war sentiment of the domestic people was high, and there were still a large number of war dividends waiting to be cleared, the major powers no longer had the ability and energy to launch another war aimed at subverting a national regime.

Although they could not play on their own, they could find proxies, so Czechoslovakia and Romania, with the connivance and support of the Entente, launched a war operation against Hungary mainland on the pretext of implementing the Entente's border demarcation agreement.

By this time, the old Royal Hungarian Army had been reorganized into the Hungarian Red Army, and after spreading revolutionary ideas among the rank-and-file soldiers, the troops temporarily gained high morale. At the same time, the Hungarians received material support from the Italian left, and in the initial battles they succeeded in repelling the Czechoslovak Army, which was also derived from the old Austro-Hungarian army, and even pushed the front to the Polish border for a time.

It felt that Czechoslovakia was simply a coffee table, a country artificially created purely to weaken the industrial capacity of Austria-Hungary, and that no war had been won head-on since the founding of the country.

After the Hungarians had cleaned up a bunch of war dregs, their self-confidence began to swell dramatically, and they ignored the Entente's demands for an armistice and turned around and riveted the Romanians to the east.

At this time, the Hungarians fought the Romanians out of purely nationalist sentiments, which had nothing to do with communism or anything, and they wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of this group of mortal enemies for a hundred years in one fell swoop.

The Hungarians concentrated a large number of ground troops, many of them the elite of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, and they concentrated hundreds of heavy artillery pieces and air bombardment units to accompany them, and even brought in only five armored trains to help.

In contrast, Romania was in a very bad situation, although it was nominally a member of the victorious powers, but the territory was repeatedly ravaged by the Central Powers, and even forced to sign the Treaty of Bucharest with the Central Powers (at that time, Romania was occupied by most of the territory, and the outbreak of the Russian Revolution left him without his only support, so he was forced to make peace with the Allies alone, cede land and pay reparations, and re-form a pro-German cabinet). Although they then redeclared war on Austria-Hungary the day before the end of the war, their previous actions have become indelible stains.

The Entente did not criticize the Romanians too harshly, as they were caught between the Allies and the Soviet Union, and it was understandable that they would make a compromise.

At the end of the war, Romania seized Transylvania, where the Magyars were 30% of the country, which directly became the trigger for the war between Romania and Hungary.

In order to preserve the only gains, Romania re-recruited retired former army soldiers, who were not elite, but all veterans who had participated in World War I and had rich combat experience.

At the same time, Romania also received a large amount of supplies and weapons from Britain and France, and the war with its sworn enemy Hungary would automatically increase the morale of the troops by 300 percent.

Don't look at the Romanians being beaten back and forth by the Austro-Hungarian and German armies in World War I, but in this war with the Hungarians, the Romanian army was like a tiger and a dragon, and at the same time fought against the Hungarians, it also repelled the Soviet Red Army from Odessa, which was a terrible mess.

In the end, the battle by the Tissa River, because the domestic policy of the Hungarian Communist Party touched the rights and interests of a large number of bourgeois and aristocratic landlords, which caused the dissatisfaction of a large number of high-ranking generals led by General Horty, the main force of the Hungarian army refused to continue the battle, and stood at the forefront of the fight against the Romanian army, at this time only the most loyal Hungarian volunteers and communists remained, as a result, the Hungarian Red Army was outnumbered and completely defeated, and the Romanian army crossed the Tisza River, and then occupied the Hungarian capital Budapest in one fell swoop. The city was then sacked.

It was a complete literal looting, when the Romanians took everything they could, not even the spittoon, which became an eternal humiliation and pain in the hearts of the Hungarians, and one of the reasons why the Battle of Budapest was so bloody and tragic in World War II.

The Hungarian Soviet Republic collapsed and only existed for one hundred and thirty-three days. Béla fled to Austria, where he was arrested and later released, eventually defecting to his big brother, the Soviet Union.

He was executed in a Soviet concentration camp on November 30, 1939, on charges of "anti-Sutrotsky" and "German spy infiltrating the Soviets."

Hungary, which was defeated again, had to sign the humiliating "Treaty of Triano" at the "Coordination Conference" held in Versailles in Paris, which also became the main reason for Hungary to fully turn to Germany after that, because after losing 70% of its territory and 60% of its population, it was impossible to regain everything lost with the remaining strength of Hungary, and only with the help of the strength of a certain power could the ultimate revenge of the Magyar nation be completed.

Nazi Germany was the only hope for the Hungarians against the Little Entente (a military alliance of Yugoslavia, Romania, and Czechoslovakia to preserve the Peace of Versailles) and their backers, Britain and France.

But what the Hungarians never expected was that the weak chicken Czechoslovakia was annexed by Germany, isn't your Romania usually quite bullish, why did you follow Germany and shout the boss in a blink of an eye, obviously I was the first.
