 Vienna Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vienna Awards or Vienna Arbitration Awards or Vienna Arbitral Awards or 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 occupation of territories in present-day Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania which Hungary had lost by the 1920 Treaty of Trianon in the course of the dissolution of Austria-Hungary at the end of World War I, and which Hungary had always sought to regain.
By this award, on November 2, 1938, Germany and Italy compelled Czechoslovakia (later, Slovakia) to return southern Slovakia and southern Carpatho-Ukraine to Hungary.

The principality was the chief centre of Hungarian culture and humanism, the main bulwark of Protestantism in Eastern Europe, and one of the very few European countries where Roman Catholics, Calvinists, Lutherans, and Unitarians lived in mutual tolerance.
After the Turkish defeat near Vienna (1683), Transylvania vainly battled the growing Austrian influence, and its alliance with Turkey under Emeric Thököly and with France under Francis II Rákóczy proved fatal to its independence.
In August 1940 during the Second World War, Hitler awarded the northern part of Transylvania to Hungary by the second Vienna Award (Vienna Arbitration Award or Vienna Diktat).
