Ziua când armata română a ocupat Budapesta, în 1919. Cauza conflictului cu Ungaria după Primul Război Mondial • Newsweek România

On August 4, 1919, Romanian troops occupied Budapest after defeating the Bolshevik government. This event followed the end of World War I and was driven by fears of Bolshevism in Europe. The Romanian army faced aggressive actions from Hungary, which sought to reclaim territories. After a series of confrontations, Romanian forces successfully entered Budapest, governing it for two months. The conflict resulted in significant casualties for the Romanian army, and the political landscape in Hungary shifted dramatically post-occupation, leading to the rise of Admiral Miklos Horthy's dictatorship.
