  • Greater Hungary () is the name of a political ideal,[citation needed] which stands as an interest goal of certain Hungarian nationalists.[citation needed] It was formerly the colloquial name for the territory of Kingdom of Hungary prior to 1918. After the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, between the two World Wars, the general political aim of Hungarian leaders was to regain pre-war borders[citation needed] or to enlarge Hungary's existing borders as much as strategically feasible. After World War II, Hungarian leaders shied away from this policy,[citation needed] and today it persists as the stated political goal of more marginal factions.[citation needed] The Treaty of Trianon defined the borders of the new independent Hungary and, compared against the claims of the pre-war Kingdom, new Hungary had approximately 72% less land stake and about two-thirds less inhabitants, almost 3 million of these being of Hungarian ethnicity. However, most of the inhabitants of the pre-war Kingdom of Hungary were not ethnic Hungarians. Following the treaty's instatement, Hungarian leaders became inclined towards revoking some of its terms. This political aim gained greater attention and was a serious national concern up through the second World War. The arguments of Hungarian revisionists (as advocates for restoring a Greater Hungary called themselves) for their goal were: the presence of Hungarian majority areas in the neighboring countries, perceived historical traditions of the Kingdom of Hungary,[citation needed] or the perceived geographical unity and economic symbiosis of the region within the Carpathian Basin,[citation needed] although some Hungarian revisionists preferred to regain only ethnically Hungarian majority areas surrounding Hungary.[citation needed] Hungary, supported by the Axis Powers, was partially successful in gaining some (primarily ethnic Hungarian) regions of the former Kingdom in the Vienna Awards of 1938 and 1940, and through military campaign gained regions of Carpathian Ruthenia in 1939 and (ethnically mixed) Bačka, Baranja, Međimurje, and Prekmurje in 1941 (Hungarian occupation of Yugoslav territories). Following the close of World War II, the borders of Hungary as defined by the Treaty of Trianon were restored, except three Hungarian villages were transferred to Czechoslovakia. These villages are today administratively as a part of Bratislava. Historical revisionism was often used by both proponents and opponents of Greater Hungary. Contemporarily, some Hungarians still express period nostalgia for the historical Kingdom of Hungary, but territorial reclamation is a fringe political aim.
