When did the Transylvanian Romanians declare their secession from Hungary? How many notes did Lieutenant Colonel Fernand Vix send to the Hungarian government? Who was the first dictator of Slovakia? Who opposed the foreign troops occupying more and more Hungarian-inhabited areas? How was the Hungarian railway network affected by the Treaty of Trianon? How many refugees arrived in Hungary from the annexed territories? How long did it take for the Hungarian economy to recover more or less after Trianon?

As authors and editors of the Trianon Encyclopaedia, we would like to provide the public with a handbook that, by focusing on factual material, can aid in orienting and navigating historical processes and their various interpretations. We hope that this volume, at the forefront of contemporary Hungarian historical research, will find a way to its readers, primarily to history teachers and students, and that it will present a coherent, clear, but not simplistic explanation to those interested in these tragic years of Hungarian history. Whether we like it or not, the leading role in understanding Trianon belongs to rationality—the only way to come to terms with the events of a century ago, which continue to affect us today.
