The Hungarian invasion of Carpathian Ruthenia began on March 14, 1939 with the aim of occupying this entire territory. The soldiers of crumbling Czechoslovakia bravely defended themselves, but after a few days they had to withdraw to Slovakia, Poland and Romania.

Notes:
Slovakia declared independence on March 14, 1939 at 12:07
Carpathian Ukraine declared independence on the morning of March 15, 1939, I could not find the exact time. The controlled territory of this state (green) is only very approximate and certainly does not correspond to historical reality.
The Czechoslovak Republic was abolished on March 16, 1939 by the Decree on the Proclamation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The document was signed sometime that morning and presented to the public shortly after noon. So I used the afternoon time.

    It starts off with red already shown on parts of former czechoslovia like Mukacevo. Were thos areas invaded earlier in November 38 ?
  • @majstter7420
    At the beginning, correct Slovakian names are Buštín for Buštyno and Medzihorie for Mižhirja, these were also officially used during the first Czechoslovak republic
  • @leMiG31

  • @historicrecord
    They would have had to enter via the mountain paths as the carpathian mountains is a range

    Why would they do such a horrible thing!
  • @billkill157
    bad video, "Carpathian Ruthenian" separatism is impossible, because for people from Transcarpathia the words "Ruthenian" and "Ukrainian" are synonymous, in addition, many fighters in eastern Ukraine from Transcarpathia.
  • Doesn't it bother anyone that Transcarpathia (Kárpátalja) is an ancient Hungarian territory for more than 1,100 years, the territory of the Hungarian kingdom? Where people of other languages had the same rights as Hungarian native speakers? Now under foreign rule, Hungarians are restricted even in using their mother tongue.
