Summary/Abstract: Transylvania is an ethnically mixed region. For both the Hungarian and Romanian peoples, Transyl­vania symbolizes the birthplace of their respective nations. At the end of World War I, Transylvania was highly contested between the Hungarians and Romanians, and this remains a difficult issue in Hungarian-Romanian relations to this day. Great Powers such as Germany under Adolf Hitler and the former USSR under Joseph Stalin used Transylvania as a means of compensation in order to maintain control over both Hungary and Romania.
