After World War I

After the First World War the ministry was dissolved because Croatia became part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and subsequently Yugoslavia. But, de jure, until the Hungarian Soviet Republic, this position survived.

Zsigmond Kunfi was a People's Commissar who was entrusted with the ministry's liquidating, between 6 November 1918 and 19 January 1919.
