Hungary getting trolled by Wilson's promises

> muh trianon

Literally every primary belligerent in WW1 was at fault for the war in some way. The Serbs may have played a significant part, but don't act like the Habsburgs weren't going out of their way to turn the assassination into a war despite Serbia's efforts to accommodate the Austro-Hungarian demands.

Weren't hungarians like only a tiny majority in pre-Trianon borders?

Hilarious

Not at all. As a Hungarian I think Trianon might have been justified if it actually cared for ethnic borders and economies, but it didn't. It wasn't really done to reward the Little Entente but to flex some muscles and punish Hungary. Loads of Hungarians were left in our neighbours, who, after feeling free from oppression did not exactly go easy on them. In Slovakia for example they gerrymandered the electoral districts so that there would be no Hungarian majority in either of them (from W-E orientation to S-N) etc. Not to mention that half of Hungary's economy was left abroad with no time to rearrange things, naturally resulting in a huge crisis.

I have absolutely no bias or any form of modern-day revisionism in myself, and I can tell you that the way Trianon was done was not at all in accordance with Wilsonic pronciples. If it indeed attempted to do justice, it was an absolute hackjob. But I'm convinced that it didn't, it was an attempt of mainly the French to demonstrate power and gather some grateful allies in Eastern Europe that did not manage to evaluate possible consequences.

People don't realize it could have been much worse and that in fact the treaty was lenient towards Hungary while toning down the initial claims of their neighbors significantly.
Some ethnically Hungarian regions were lost due to economic and geographic reasons. At most they might have kept some border town like Komárno, Subotica or Satu Mare, but not much more than that.
Certainly not the borders of 1940 and not the absurd borders of 1867.
They eventually gained Ödenburg/Sopron which was supposed to remain in Austria.
