TRANSYLVANIA & BANAT'S ETHNICAL COMPOSITION BEFORE WWI

According to the last hungarian census -made in 1910- before WWI and published by Lelkes Gyorgy in the "Gazetteer of Hungarian localities in 1913" ***

Notes:
* In these cases not the whole hungarian county was united with Romania after WWI. Only 2/3 of Banat [ie from Temes, Torontal, Krasso-Szoreny] and only 1/3 of Maramaros County was united with Romania.
Also, the Western parts [~1/3] of the Bihar, Szatmar and Arad County were united with Hungary.
** Strange enough, in the case of Torontal the Serbs inhabitants are not listed at all. This is an obvious mistake.

The ideology behind the Trianon's Treaty: merge/corroborate the X wilsonian principle with the IX principle [see President Woodrow Wilson's speech -known as "The Fourteen Points"- in front of the American Congress on 8.01.1918; check ] and you will obtain:
"The peoples of Austria-Hungary should be accorded the freest opportunity to autonomous development and the readjustment of the frontiers should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality". That is what Romania, Czech Republic, Serbia, [and even Austria in the case of Burgenland province], etc, were able to received after the peace's treaties. The Fourteen Points are important also because "they translated many of the principles of American domestic reform, known as Progressivism, into foreign policy. Notions of free trade, open agreements, democracy and self-determination were mere variants of domestic programs that reformers had been supporting for two decades" [on the same web site].
In 1920, Woodrow Wilson was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize for 1919.
