The new government was led by Count Mihaly Karolyi, who became its president. Since the Treaty of Versailles required Hungary to disband its army, the newly formed country became a target for its neighbors who wanted to increase their power in the wake of the First World War. Romanian, Franco-Serbian, and Czechoslovak troops all entered Hungary looking for gains. Severely weakened, the Hungarian government was unable to defend itself from external or internal threats. Formed just eight days after the declaration of the First Republic of Hungary, the Party of Communists from Hungary was established under the leadership of Bela Kun, acting in a close relationship with the Soviet Union. The Hungarian Soviet Republic lasted 133 days, from March 21 to August 1, 1919) (Image) (Image 2) (Image 3) (Image 4) (Image 5) (Image 6) (Image 7) (Image 8) (Image 9) (Image 10) (Image 11) (Image 12) (Image 13) (Image 14) (Image 15) (Image 16) (Image 17) (Image 18) (Image 19) (Image 20) (All Images)
