Summary/Abstract: In June 1920 in the Big Trianon Castle near Paris representatives “of the Treaty, Allies and associated powers” and authorized representatives of the Hungarian State signed the peace treaty. In Article 48 Hungary recognized “full independence of the Czechoslovak State”; in Article 49 it waived all the legal rights to the territories of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy “recognized by this treaty to be a part of the Czechoslovak State”. As Ivan Krno, the Slovak participant in the historical act, recalls, “it happened in deadly silence, interrupted just by the monotonous rattle of the cinematographic machines”.
