Possession is nine-tenths of the law, and the Czechoslovaks had possession following the military collapse of the Kun regime in the spring and summer of 1919. That's the quick and dirty reason. Plus, some of the Allied leaders, especially Clemenceau, wanted to 'punish' the Hungarians for their transgressions in going Bolshevik.When the Allies was dismembering Austria-Hungary in 1918, why were 850,000 Hungarians included in Czechoslovakia and not Hungary?

Anyone think it has legs, or is it just exaggeration?
What was the Wilson Presidency like?
I had the impression that the Palmer Raids were nothing to do with the Presidency?
