Hungary — Day of National Unity
Süni intellektlə yaradılmış illüstrasiya · Turkic Atlas

Under the Treaty of Trianon, signed on 4 June 1920 after the First World War, Hungary lost about two-thirds of its territory and more than half of its population; over three million Hungarians found themselves beyond the new borders overnight.

In 2010 the Hungarian Parliament passed a law declaring 4 June the Day of National Unity, a symbol of the unity of Hungarians everywhere regardless of borders. The National Unity Memorial near Parliament opened in 2020.

Remembrance

At 16:30, the moment the treaty was signed, church bells ring across the country; schools and towns hold commemorations, and Hungarian communities abroad gather.
