Vienna awards, agreements made in November 1938 and August 1940. They were part of the Axis powers' rearrangement of south-eastern Europe after the
Munich agreement of September 1938 gave Hitler the green light to dismember Czechoslovakia. In November 1938 the first award forced the transfer of the southern areas of Slovakia from Czechoslovakia to Hungary and Ruthenia was forced to cede its southern districts, including its capital Užhorod, to Hungary. In August 1940 northern Transylvania, whose population exceeded 2 million, was transferred from Romania to Hungary. This second award and the loss of other territories, led to the abdication of Romania's King Carol (see
Romania, 3). See also
