abstract
| - The Hungarian invasion of Czechoslovakia was a military operation carried out by the Kingdom of Hungary against the Republic of Czechoslovakia between October 20, 1938 and March 15, 1939. The operation marked the entrance of Hungary in what would later be known as the Second World War. On 19 October 1938, the Slovak State (Slovak: Slovenský štát) was established in Banská Bystrica by Vojtech Tuka, the leader radical wing of the Hlinka's Slovak People's Party. That day, Horthy and the Prime Minister of Hungary issued a joint declaration that Czechoslovakia had ceased to exist, releasing Hungary from its obligations under the non-aggression pact and the Treaty of Trianon. According to the declaration Hungarian troops would act to "protect the Hungarians who live in Felvidék from the anarchy" of the War which had begun on 1 October. German and Polish troops had invaded the country.
