I Don’t Need Nazis In My Germany

In the end, Hungary accepted the conditions.

It was, after all, the only way for them to reclaim Transylvania without entering the Great War, just as they most desired.

Hungary also wanted Banat, but that region had a strong identity as a province separate from Transylvania, and a significant number of Serbs resided there.

There was already a territorial dispute over Banat between Yugoslavia and Romania, and if Hungary, which had provoked Yugoslavia by abrogating the Treaty of Trianon, were to take Banat, it would obviously become a future flashpoint, so we made them give that one up.

Instead, in exchange for Banat, we secured from Yugoslavia an official abrogation of the Treaty of Trianon and support for Hungary's acquisition of Transylvania.

For Regent Paul, it was an unavoidable decision to curb the expansion of Croatian power, but since failing to secure the territory taken by Italy had become a political burden, he gladly accepted this opportunity.

In return for mediating between Hungary and Yugoslavia, we were able to pocket a considerable amount of bauxite as a gift.

Now that we are just starting our collaboration with Boeing, the more raw material for aluminum, which will be the material for aircraft, the better.
