Okay, so, I was reading about Hungary during the Paris Peace Conference, and how Rumania, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia all ganged up on it to take the land they claimed. I was wondering how could Hungary win this conflict?
Well, most importantly would be no Bela Kun. Heck, without a communist government, I would say a Hungarian Nationalist government would take power, and unite all the people of Hungary against the aggressors. I mean, Slovakia actually began to feel that it wasn't so bad being with the Magyars, as the Czechs weren't keeping their promise of Slovakian autonomy. Furthermore, the Serbs could also screw things up with the Croats, and most Croats in Hungary decide to stay in Hungary.
Course, there was always the issue of the Allies, mainly the French, wanting to keep Rumania strong to counter the Bolsheviks. We all know how that went, though. However, if there was a single, strong Hungarian nationalist, like Ataturk, (Let's not have Admiral Horthy) to unite the people of Hungary, then yes, I think we could see a similar result.
Of course, in the end, Hungary will have to deal with the issue of it's ethnic minorities, probably by actually giving them autonomy.
Could it have been possible for Hungary to keep it's land?
