This monograph provides an insight into the way minority issues were dealt with in Czechoslovakia and Hungary from 1918 to 1939. The team of Czech and Hungarian historians refers critically to the interwar minority politics in both countries. The book sheds light on the ethnopolitical consequences of the disintegration of the Hapsburg Empire, stressing the illusory nature of attempts to create ethnically pure national states in multiethnic Central Europe. The documents on the international commitments of Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania within the framework of the international minorities agreements of 1919, as well as documents on the final controversial diplomatic stage of interwar Czechoslovak-Hungarian minority and ethnopolitical relations are included.
