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.
