Carte Rouge – Vörös térkép

Synopsis

The unjust and humiliating details of the Treaty of Trianon are still unclear to us. Let's face it, as a result of decades of deliberate silence, today's generations know very little about it. In the negotiations that preceded the signing of the treaty, the Hungarian government did everything it could to achieve a more just peace. A team of Hungarian scholars led by Count Pál Teleki prepared the Carte Rouge, a red map faithfully depicting the ethnic relations of the Carpathian Basin, while Count Albert Apponyi, the head of the Hungarian peace delegation, was given the opportunity to present Hungarian ideas to the leaders of the victorious powers at the French Foreign Ministry in Paris on 16 January 1920.
