Mar 20 In Hungary hard economic times prevail. The Social Democrat Party is larger than the Communist Party, but the communists manage to overthrow the government and establish a "dictatorship of the proletariat" (after failing to get backing from Lenin). Some Social Democrats have sided with the communist revolution.

Aug 4 The Hungarian Soviet Republic has been at war with Romania, one of the Allies hostile to Austria-Hungary at the end of the war. Territorial issues have arisen. The Romanians occupy Budapest. The Hungarian Soviet Republic collapses.

Jun 4 Hungary signs a peace agreement with its World War I enemies: France, Britain, the US, Italy and Japan. The agreement establishes new borders for Hungary. Hungary loses 71 percent of its territory and 66 percent of its population. About one-third of the ethnic Hungarian population (3.4 of 10 million Hungarians) become minorities in neighboring countries. The new borders separate Hungary's industrial base from its sources of raw materials, and Hungary also loses its only sea port, at Fiume (today Rijeka).
