Abstract

In 1920, the National Army was vigorously developed. The Hungarian government considered it important to strengthen national defence against the military superiority of neighbouring states. The Red Army launched an attack on Poland and was already threatening Warsaw. The Hungarian government hoped that if it provided military assistance to the Poles, the Entente powers would ease the strict requirements of the planned peace treaty. The government hoped that during the operation it could reintegration a part of Slovakia, with the approval of the Entente, the Treaty of Trianon contained extremely severe military restrictions. A professional army of only 35,000 men, without heavy artillery, tanks, air force and air defence, could not have defended the country against an external attack. The prescribed downsizing caused a serious social problem. The restriction of production or purchase of weapons made Hungary vulnerable for a long time The Royal Hungarian Army, established in January 1922, tried to provide a small but effective defence force within the restrictions. However, in a hidden form, the government tried to maintain a larger number of personnel and a smaller amount of modern combat equipment.
