The '''First Vienna Award''' was a [[revanchism|revanchist]] treaty signed on '''2 November, 1938''', as a result of the arbitration which took place at [[Vienna]]'s Belvedere Palace. The Arbitration and Award were direct consequences of the [[Munich Agreement]] the previous month which agreed to the partitioning of the artificial state<ref>''The Tragedy of Trianon'' by Sir Robert Donald, G.B.E., LL.B., London, 1928, pps: 25-6, 57-8.</ref><ref>''The Origins of the Second World War'' by A. J. P. Taylor, London, 1961, p.201.</ref> of [[Czecho-Slovakia]], arguably relying upon Article 19 of the [[League of Nations]]' Covenant, which was incorporated in the [[Versailles Treaty]], which said:
: ''The Assembly may from time to time advise the reconsideration by Members of the League of Treaties which have become inapplicable, and the consideration of international conditions which might endanger the peace of the world.''<ref>''Danger Spots of Europe'' by Bernard Newman, London, 1938, p.20.</ref>

In May 1935 [[Hitler]] wrote to the Regent of [[Hungary]], Admiral [[Miklos Horthy]], in which letter he spoke of "the scope of the struggle of our two nations for their 'emancipation' [from the World War I treaties], and the [[revanchism|revision]] of the injustices committed against them."<ref>Szinai, Miklos, & Szucs, Laszlo, editors, ''The Confidential Papers of Admiral Horthy'', Corvina Press, Budapest, 1965. 1965, p.80-2.</ref>

The British Ambassador in Berlin wrote on November 2nd:
: ''The time-table for the Vienna Conference today is published in the press. The award of the arbitrators is expected to be issued and published at 6 p.m....Germany and Italy have been chosen as arbitrators as being the Great Powers properly concerned. France and Britain, though signatories of the [[Munich Agreement]], being essentially outside agents and foreign to Central European affairs are excluded....the arbitrators are to promote a solution based upon justice.''<ref>Woodward, Prof. E.L., Butler, Rohan, & Lambert Margaret, editors, ''Documents on British Foreign Policy 1919-1939'', Third Series, vol. iii, London, 1950, p.218.</ref>

[[Germany]] and [[Italy]] sought a non-violent way to deal with the revisionist territorial claims of [[Hungary]] and to revise the hated and imposed [[Treaty of Trianon]] of 1920. The Czech Foreign Minister, Dr. František Chvalkovský, was also present.

The '''First Vienna Award''' separated largely Magyar populated territories in southern [[Slovakia]] and southern [[Czecho-Slovakia]] and returned them to [[Hungary]], who thus regained some of the territories taken from them in the [[Treaty of Trianon]] after [[World War I]]. In 1934 there were 691,923 Magyars (Hungarians), and 549,169 [[Ruthenia]]ns, Russians, Ukrainians and Jews in these areas (includes Sub-Carpathian [[Ruthenia]]).<ref>''Encyclopaedia Britannica Book of the Year 1938'' (1937 reports), London, 1938, p.188.</ref>

In mid-March 1939, [[National Socialist Germany|Germany]] agreed with [[Hungary]] that they could recover the rest of [[Ruthenia]], which had previously been their territory, further north up to the [[Poland|Polish border]], thus creating a common Hungarian-Polish border, as had existed prior to the 18th-century Partitions of Poland. Before the end of the [[First World War]] and the Treaties of Trianon and [[Treaty of Saint Germain]], the Carpathian region of the former Kingdom of Hungary (Transleithania) in the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]] had bordered to the north on the province of [[Galicia]], which had been part of the Austrian Cisleithanian part of the Dual Monarchy.

On 15 March 1939 The [[Romania]]n Foreign Minister, Grigore Gafencu, advised the German Ambassador in Bucharest, Wilhelm Fabricius, that "Romania intends to respect the situation created by the Vienna Award and will not take any steps to alter this situation".<ref>''Documents on German Foreign Policy 1918-1945'' by a large editorial board, Series D, vol.vi, Her Majesty's Stationary Office, London, 1956, p.4.</ref>

After [[World War II]], the victors of that conflict, in the 1947 [[Paris Peace Treaties]], declared the Vienna Awards null and void. In any case all of the territories mentioned were now occupied by the [[Soviet Union]] who established puppet governments in them.
