      I didn’t actually know this!
      Why were these towns taken specifically. The loss of three towns feels like a very light punishment considering the actions Hungary took in the Conflict.
      Does anyone know why the peace was so lenient, and what significance these three cities held in Hungary?

      @Florian87 Місяць тому +27

      @@Gander047you could easily just Google this yourself, but in short: Czechoslovakia was given the territory to create the so-called Bratislava Bridgehead as a defensive measure against Hungary. The only significance of the towns were their location.
      As for why Hungary wasn’t punished, part of it is because of lessons learned by the western allies following the Treaty of Versailles, and part is because Hungary fought Germany alongside the Allies near the end of the war. Similar benevolence was given to other former axis allies in a similar situation during the Paris Peace Treaties of 1947.

    Finland's true goal was essentially this:
    1. Restore pre winter war borders (Official state policy)
    2. Annex East Karelia to unify with the Karelian people (Might as well since we're already at war)
    Anything beyond this was just the fantasy of nationalists.

      Finns were the only "good guys" on the Axis side. Change my mind.
      They were the only axis nation that wasn't fascist, but a Western democratic state like USA, UK and France. They were also the only one that didn't join Hitler's "crusade against the judeo-bolshevism" out of pure nationalism, fascism or Nazi sympathies, but because they were brutally invaded by the Soviet Union during the Winter War just a year earlier, which resulted in the loss of 11% of Finnish territory, along which 10% of the Finnish population had to flee their homes. (It's important to know that this land that the Soviets annexed from Finland wasn't some "contested" territory that had both pro-Soviet and pro-Finnish people living on it and that nationalists from both Finland and Russia had claimed and fought over in the past, but a 100% undisputed part of Finland whose every citizen felt themselves as 100% a Finnish citizen. When the Soviets took this land, literally EVERY SINGLE ONE of the 400 000 people living in there fled to Western Finland, and the Soviets received the land completely EMPTY.). The Finns obviously wanted to get back this land that the Soviets had annexed from them, but also the Soviets kept constantly threatening them with a second invasion and a full annexation even after the Winter War had officially ended. On top of that, Finland was also facing a severe shortage of food after the Soviets occupied 30% of their most productive farmland, and that could have resulted in a catastrophic famine in the country.
      So they desperately needed someone as an ally to sell them weapons and cheap grain. And because allying with the Western Allies wasn't possible anymore after the German occupation of Denmark and Norway, the only remaining option was the Nazi Germany, who then obviously demanded Finland to help them in Operation Barbarossa as a price to pay for their aid and protection (and of course a lot of Finns also wanted to counterattack the Soviets anyway to get the occupied land back, so they were not that hesitant to fulfill this German demand). But it's important to understand that Finland was not IDEOLOGICALLY an ally or supporter of the Axis, only militarily. There was very little support to fascism in Finland, and they didn't fight FOR Nazism or the Axis, they only fought WITH them and used the Axis military aid to help their own country in a very difficult situation. They were ideologically pretty much on their own side, even though they militarily joided the Axis because they were stuck between rock and a hard place, being threatened by the Soviet Union and a famine and having a very important piece of their land just recently taken away from them.
      Also while it's true that the Finns committed some shameful acts and war crimes (like almost evert country in history that has participated in wars), they were nowhear near to be even compearable to the systematic mass-murder of millions or hundreds of thousands of innocent people that the other Axis powers (the Nazis obviously, but also other smaller Axis countries like Romania, Hungary and Italy) committed. The Finnish war crimes were almost as "mild" in number and brutality as the crimes committed by the Western Allies (Britain, USA, etc). Finland was the only Axis country that protected its Jews from Hitler, and treated them as completely equal citizens like the Allies did, and many Finnish Jewish heroes actually fought alongside the regular Finns for the country's independence agains the Soviet invaders. When Himmler visited Finland and offered German help to "solve Finland's Jewish peoblem", Finnish prime minister Jukka Ragnell famously responded to him: "Finland has no Jewish problem".

    Much is being made of Bulgaria being the only Axis member to gain land after WW2, but this broad brush overlooks crucial details. The territory in question was acquired from Romania before either became Axis states. And Romania lacked North Transylvania upon joining the Axis. Romania is the only Axis member with more land at the end of WW2 than when it joined the Axis. I think this is more impressive, tbh.
