Treaty of Trianon 1920 signed by Hungary. Even Czech troops arrived Pozsony (Bratislava) only at the beginning of 1919.

In 19181920 Komárom was split by the newly created border of [[Czechoslovakia]]. In 1920 Hungary was forced to sign the [[Treaty of Trianon]] recognizing the new imposed borders including the border with Czechoslovakia. The loss of its territory created a sizable [[Hungarians in Slovakia|Hungarian minority in Slovakia]]. The Slovak part is today [[Komárno]], [[Slovakia]].
