Why Are There So Many Hungarians In Slovakia & Romania?

▶ In this video, I try to explain why there are so many Hungarian people in Romania and Slovakia (and also Serbia). Understanding the historical context of the region and how Hungary was once much bigger; being forced to reduce its size and the reach of its borders due to their defeat in WW1, with the Treaty of Triannon. But also learning how the terms of this territory loss went again many of the principles that the winning powers wanted to implement as well and how, arguably, France's desire for their own Entente in Central and Eastern Europe was at fault for this.
