Abstract
Hungarian society and the government never approved of the loss of the northern region populated by Hungarians and Slovaks, just as they never accepted the loss of other territories of the former Kingdom of Hungary. They endeavoured to regain those territories during the interbellum years. The annexation of Slovakia was in the focus of Hungarian revisionary thought, cherished by both political and military circles. Hungarian politicians especially resented the loss of Upper Hungary, second only to the loss of Transylvania, because this region had played an essential role in the economy of the Kingdom of Hungary.

Hungarian propaganda implied that since Czechoslovakia had no historical traditions as a state, it would be the easiest target to break up in order to regain the lost territories
Summary
He asked the Hungarians that in case of, or even before, a referendum in Czechoslovakia, to do effort to attract the Slovaks with propaganda.[27] Andorka thought that the Poles were open to cooperation with Hungary but he did not exclude that they had some hidden intentions with Slovakia and could have larger territorial demands.[28] These worries proved ill-founded later.
