The Czechoslovak crisis in May 1938 had a negative impact on Czechoslovak- Hungarian relations and stopped the promising development of contacts leading to settlement of mutual relations. In the middle of 1938 Hungary was very carefully considering all the risks of a war in which it could become involved. The report on convention of a conference in Munich was therefore accepted in Budapest with joy, because the great powers that attended it promised to support settlement of the Hungarian issue. However, the Munich conference failed to resolve the Hungarian issue, even though it created conditions for partial fulfilment of Hungarian demands against Czechoslovakia and voided the Treaty of Versailles as a result, which created hope that the Treaty of Trianon would follow. After the Munich Agreement, Hungary began increasing its demands against its northern neighbour. Official Hungarian demands could only apply to territories with a Hungarian population within the meaning of the Munich Agreement, which was based on the ethnic principle. The arbitration took place on 2 November 1938 in Vienna. Hungary’s annexation of part of the territory of Slovakia and Transcarpathia with a Hungarian population on the basis of the Vienna Arbitration was considered the first great success of the territorial revision policy in Hungarian public opinion.
