Topic: Second Vienna Award


  
  Second Vienna Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Second Vienna Award was the second of two Vienna Awards.
The (re)gain of Slovakia and Subcarpathia (part of what was called Upper Hungary within the former Kingdom of Hungary) in 1938 (First Vienna Award/First Vienna Diktat) and the subsequent military conquest of the remaining Carpathian Ruthenia in 1939 did not satiate the Hungarian politics, as well as the Hungarian public opinion.
The ministers of foreign affairs of the Axis (Joachim von Ribbentrop of Germany and Galeazzo Ciano of Italy) announced the award August 30, 1940 at the Belvedere Palace, Vienna.

 Vienna Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vienna Awards, Vienna Arbitration Awards, Vienna Arbitral Awards, Vienna Diktats or Viennese Arbitrals are various names for two arbitral awards (1938 and 1940) by which arbiters of National Socialist Germany and Fascist Italy sought to enforce peacefully the territorial claims of Revisionist Hungary, ruled by Regent Admiral Miklós Horthy.
The awards sanctioned Hungary's annexation of territories in present-day Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania which Hungary had lost by the 1920 Treaty of Trianon at the end of World War I, and which Hungary had sought to regain in the period between the two World Wars.
Besides the Second Vienna Award as such, on September 7, under the Treaty of Craiova, the Cadrilater or "Quadrilateral" (southern Dobrudja) was returned by Romania to Bulgaria.
