The Hungarian Reform War (1918)
The Hungarian Reform War (April 28 - September 13, 1918)
Kun was counting on foreign support, especially Italy, who was still seething at their lackluster gains in the Treaty of Bern (1917), but even Italy was wary at the possibility of an independent Hungary, for it would clash with their interests in Croatia, and no support barring the bare minimum arrived from Rome. While local commanders soon joined the 'Provisionary Army of Hungary', Transylvania's Hungarians - who were more liberal in comparison to the Budapest Hungarians - refused to align themselves to this new Provisionary secessionist government and remained loyal. Immediately war was ignited, as the slowly demobilizing K.U.K was immediately remobilized and generals were recalled into service. Though Marshal Stromfeld of the Hungarians had chosen a good plan to defend Hungary, it proved to be inadequate and his forces were horribly outnumbered. After a few months of skirmishes, Field Marshal Borevic managed to split the two Hungarian armies of Stromfeld and Linder into two, creating a gap that freed the path into Budapest. The K.u.K's Slovakian Divisions marched into Budapest victorious ont he 31st of October, 1918. At the same time, the Hungarian Loyalist army raised by Belitska had managed to use the distraction to break through the Hungarian defenses as well, and counting on the support of the local Hungarians who looked down upon their greedy Oligarchs, managed to pierce into the back of the rebelling regions, nearly cutting the region into two. On the 9th of September, Kun was assassinated and was succeeded by former Hungarian Minister Michael Károlyi who saught to bring an end to the conflict at once, fearing the growing Red threat to the east as greater than petty differences. On the 13th of September, the Truce of Szeged was signed bringing an end to the Hungarian Reform War, ending in Habsburg victory. Despite the months long nature of the short war, casualties were relatively light among both sides, for both sides had used militia instead of the main professional armies of the K.u.K. The defeat of the Hungarians paved the way for the Second Reform Proposal.
Was considered but not given to throw a fig leaf to the Oligarchs of Hungary at first, but as you can see, the Hungarian Reform War changed that.
The next updates will be on Germany, Bulgaria and the Ottomans. The CP will be defeated though.
Yes, that seems likely. Russia won't have fallen to the revolution yet either, if I'm not mistaken.
Technically speaking, Serbia caused the war when they supported the terrorist organization that assassinated the Austro-Hungarian heir.
