"We must not sit idly by and watch the peace in Europe be destroyed, let alone the Red Terror sweeping through Europe. Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps such a choice will bring Europe to war again, but we have no other way. In order for all of us to maintain peace in our countries, we should firmly eliminate all forces, even countries, that are a source of trouble for peace. Let's take action, all for peace, long live peace! "At a meeting of the World League, during a discussion on the Hungarian civil war, the British representative stood up directly and spoke impassionedly.

Regardless of whether what the British representative said was justified or not, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

No way, the British Empire is the most powerful country right now. At present, the only one who can fight the British Empire is France, but the French will not easily anger the British eyebrows.

Naturally, the representatives of Australasia were also applauding, after all, intervening in the Hungarian civil war was also something Australasia wanted to see.

For monarchies such as Australasia and the British Empire, an ideology like Soviet Russia, which could destroy the monarchy, was definitely the greatest danger to the monarchy.

Even against the United States can be slowed down slightly, after all, the Americans threatened all of Australasia, but Soviet Russia threatened Arthur and the monarchy.

The British delegate was very satisfied with the applause from the audience, and then said: "The World League has rightly fulfilled its duty to provide assistance to the weaker and weaker countries. I propose that all Member States join forces to help Hungary end the war and that a policy of limiting the spread of Soviet Russian ideas be adopted to ensure that our country is not affected. ”

If you have a map, it's important to be able to see where Hungary is.

With Hungary as the center, it can threaten Russia's Polish region to the north, the entire Balkans to the south, Italy and Austria to the west, and the Russian Ukrainian region through Galicia to the east.

If Russia had taken control of the region, it would not only have a firm grip on Poland and Galicia, but would also be able to use Hungary as a springboard to gradually encroach on the Balkans and expand Russia's territory into Central Europe.

This was unacceptable for the British Empire. Not to mention the impact of Soviet Russia's expansion on the surrounding countries, Russia's control of the Balkans alone was enough to affect the hegemony of the British Empire.

This was not allowed in the British Empire during the previous days of Tsarist Russia, let alone the current Soviet Russia.

A significant number of countries were willing to respond to the British Empire's proposals, such as Romania and Serbia near Hungary.

Romania is directly adjacent to Russia, and it is difficult to guarantee that the next victim after Hungary will not be Romania.

The only way to ensure Romania's security was to defeat Soviet Russia in the Hungarian civil war, directly eliminating the possibility of the ideological expansion of Soviet Russia to the outside world.

In addition to being adjacent to Hungary, Serbia was also a supporting state of Tsarist Russia.

The fall of Tsarist Russia would not be a good thing for Serbia either.

In addition to this, Italy also expressed support for intervention in the Hungarian civil war.

However, Italy's purpose is different from that of a small country like Romania, and Italy's more real purpose is to reach further into the Balkans.

But in any case, the flag-waving and shouting of these countries for a time increased the number of countries that supported intervention in the civil war.

Coupled with the many countries that had already defected to the British Empire, the British Empire took the initiative in this conference with a numerical advantage, and successfully got the World League to issue a resolution to intervene in the Hungarian Civil War.

In May 1919, a few days after the start of the Hungarian Civil War, the World League publicly announced its intention to intervene in the Hungarian Civil War and help restore peace to the Hungarians.

The British Empire is expected to send 50,000 troops, Italy 30,000, France 30,000, Australasia 10,000, and the rest of the member states range from 0.2 to 0.5 thousand, with a total force of more than 150,000 troops, to carry out forced intervention in the Hungarian civil war.

The Hungarian Civil War was not strong on both sides, and as one of the defeated sides, the Austro-Hungarian army was cut in half.

The original government of the Kingdom of Hungary had only an army of more than 60,000 men, which was fully inherited by Prime Minister Tiza, the commander-in-chief of the United Armed Forces.

The armed rebellion of the workers' party, supported by Soviet Russia, consisted of less than 40,000 troops, but among these armies were some soldiers who were relatively strong in combat, not necessarily Hungarians, but probably soldiers sent by Soviet Russia.

After all, these 40,000 people can compete with government troops in their early 60,000s, which is enough to prove that these improvised armies are not simple.

It will take some time for the combined armies of the World Alliance to be formed, which does not mean that the World Alliance does not have any plans until it actually acts.

The first was to support the Hungarian government, the Italians offered to contract the weapons and equipment, and promised to deliver it to the Hungarian government within a week.

Although the Italian army was not very combat-ready, the weapons and equipment produced in Italy were barely world-class, and it was only fitting to support the Hungarian government's civil war.

In the face of such a positive attitude of Italy, others will naturally not say anything, after all, weapons and equipment have to be spent on their own.

In addition to supporting the Hungarian government, the World League also publicly declared that it would block all trade routes with Soviet Russia and prohibit all member states of the World League from trading with Soviet Russia without permission.

As an emerging state, Soviet Russia was not so powerful at first.

After all, no matter how strong the Soviet consciousness is, it is only a country that has inherited part of the territory of Russia, and its strength is not even comparable to that of Tsarist Russia in its heyday, so it urgently needs materials from the outside world to make up for the domestic production gap.

As long as Soviet Russia's foreign trade routes can be cut off completely, even if it does not hurt Soviet Russia, it will definitely hinder the development of Soviet Russia.

Under the leadership of the British Empire, the member states of the World League signed a trade restriction pact, requiring the signatories to prohibit trade with Soviet Russia and to prohibit any goods from entering or leaving the Baltic and Black Seas at will.

The decision of the World League to intervene in the Hungarian Civil War and the treaty to limit Soviet Russia became the talk of the whole Russia and the world in a short time.

Hungary welcomed the decision of the World League to intervene in the civil war, after all, the Hungarian people only wanted to break away from the Austro-Hungarian government at the beginning, and after the establishment of the Hungarian Democratic Republic, they were satisfied, and never thought of or supported the workers' party to start a civil war.

But it is clear that the Hungarian civil war is no longer in the hands of the Hungarians.

Not to mention the Hungarians, even the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was still the suzerainty of Hungary before, has no better way to deal with the situation in Hungary at this time.

The current Austro-Hungarian Empire should theoretically be called the Austrian Empire, after all, Hungary has long since become independent, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire has not taken any countermeasures so far.

In fact, Austria-Hungary cannot be blamed for this, after all, Austria-Hungary, as one of the defeated countries, was strictly limited to less than 150,000 troops.

Although the restrictions imposed on Austria-Hungary by various countries were not as strict as those of Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had lost 60,000 Hungarian troops, could now mobilize less than 90,000 troops.

Trying to solve the Hungarian civil war with an army of less than 90,000 was unlikely, even Karl I, who was in a stupor.

Moreover, after Hungary's independence, many countries immediately expressed their support for Hungary's independence, including Tsarist Russia and Italy.

It was already difficult for Austria-Hungary to maintain unity after the war, and it was almost impossible to compete with the victors to regain control of Hungary under such circumstances.

With the intervention of the World League, the Hungarian civil war was quickly quelled.

Compared with the fires of Soviet Russia, the Soviet Civil War was but a spark, and the World League was immediately extinguished as soon as it was earnest.

But after the peace, Hungary is the region that governments are vying for.

Although nominally aimed at restoring peace in the Hungarian region, the actions of the countries could not have been fruitless.

For an important country like Hungary, which could threaten Russia and Poland, the British Empire was eager to take it into its own hands.

If you want to win over the Hungarian government, Prime Minister Tiza, who is in charge of the government, is a key figure.

Prime Minister Tiza's prestige in Hungarian politics is very high, as early as during the Royal Government, Prime Minister Tiza was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Royal Government many times, and even held a certain voice in the cabinet of Franz I.

However, after the death of Franz I, the cabinet of the imperial government was controlled by Austria, and the Kingdom of Hungary could no longer intervene.

It was precisely because of this incident that Prime Minister Tiza lost his support for Karl I and acquiesced in the policy of the Royal Hungarian government to rebel against the imperial government.

The previous refusal to be expropriated for grain, and even the blatant price hike, and the framing of the imperial government's purchase of grain that caused the price to rise, also had the shadow of Prime Minister Tiza behind it.

As a result, Prime Minister Tiza gained the support of the Hungarian petty bourgeoisie and some peasants, and not only had a high prestige in the political arena, but also had a high degree of support among the people.

In addition, he co-opted the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, directly controlled the military power of Hungary, and made Prime Minister Tiza the undisputed figure of the government of the Hungarian Democratic Republic, and all the power of the government was basically controlled by Tiza.
