Hungary lost 3/4 of her territory and 2/3 of her people. Croatia was given to Yugoslavia, Transylvania to Romania, and Ruthenia and Slovakia to Czechoslovakia. Punishment was also a bit too much for Hungary. Firstly, much of the land ceded by Hungary contained many Hungarians. About 3 million Hungarians (Magyars) lived in the neighboring states as a result of the Treaty. In Transylvania and in some other places, more than half of the population were Hungarians. Secondly, a severe blow was dealt to her economic progress because most of her industrial areas were lost and her concessions to Yugoslavia deprived her of access to the Adriatic and the Mediterranean Sea. Like Austria, she became a landlocked state. Thirdly, she had to pay her reparations and limit her armed forces.
