Hello,


In 1940, Hungary conquered the Carpatho-Ukraine. Is there any reliable data on how the ethnic composition of that region was in 1940?

How many hungarians, slovaks, germans, romanians and ruthenians lived there?

It was annexed by Hungary in March 1939.

1930 census (in Czechoslovakia) had these numbers:
Ukrainians / Ruthenians - 62%, Hungarians - 16%, Jews - 13%, Czechs and Slovaks - 4.8%, Germans - 1.9%, Romanians - 1.8%

You are right, Hungary snatched the Carpatho-Ukraine in 1939, Norther-Transilvania was taken in 1940.

Here is something I have calculated:

Czechoslovakia 140.446 km²
