The '''Hunedoara Agreement''' (also known as the Magyar-Romanian Treaty, sometimes referred to as the Székely Agreement and the Transylvanian Compromise), signed on 2 August 1938, was a bilateral treaty between [[Magyaria|Magyarian]] and [[Romania|Romanian]] representatives that outlined both countries' post-war territorial organization, as well as establishing the foundation for their bilateral relations. A [[Russia|Russian]] delegation was also present, playing the role of mediator. The agreement was preceded by a series of talks that took place in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvin_Castle Corvin Castle], after which [[Mátyás Novák]], [[MNF]] general and war hero, and [[Alexandru Dragoş]], Romanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, signed the historic agreement.
== Background ==
At the earliest stages of the [[Invasion of Austria]] the question of post-war reorganization was discussed between the various parties of [[the Eastern Front]]. Romania, set out by the nationalist government to unify the Romanian people, had initially claimed the historical regions of Bukovina, Transylvania and Banat from the [[Austria|Austrian Empire]], and as of May 1938 they occupied Bukovina and small parts of Transylvania. By that point, Magyar forces, consisting mostly of [[Magyar National Liberation Movement|NLM]] revolutionaries at the time, were in [[full fledged revolt]], having risen up and taken over large swathes of Austrian-controlled territories with significant Magyar populations. This included Magyar population centres in Transylvania, especially in the region of Székelyföld (also known as Szeklerland).
