[edit] Setting borders in 1918 or 1920
In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon assigned the county to Czechoslovakia.
or
In 1918 (as confirmed by the Treaty of Trianon 1920), the county became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia.
I think the Treaty of Trianon was not just a confirmation, the exact borders were still undecided. Edvard Benes was negotiating well for the Czechs and Slovaks while the Hungarian delegation made serious mistakes trying to restore the original borders of the Kingdom of Hungary instead of focusing on the borders along ethnic lines (see Red Map at the Treaty of Trianon).
So how did the territory become part of Czechoslovakia in 1918 and why is it correct to present Trianon as a simple confirmation of that? "Confirmed by" suggests the Treaty was just a formality. Squash Racket (talk) 17:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
