"Of all the incredible episodes in the break-up of Czecho-Slovakia, what has happened during the last three days in Carpatho-Ukraine is the most fantastic... In three days, it waged two wars, the first to drive out the Czechs and the second to hold back the Hungarians. The biggest battle in this eventful period was fought not in Prague or Bratislava in Slovakia, but in Khust..." — this is how the famous American journalist Anne McCormick described the events that took place in Transcarpathia in March 1939 in the New York Times.
What is this fascinating Carpatho-Ukraine? How was it formed? Why did an armed confrontation occur with the Royal Hungarian Army?
We invite you to the museum lecture "Under the Flag of Carpatho-Ukraine: A Battle That Will Not Fade Away," dedicated to the heroic struggle of the Carpathian Sich against Hungarian troops in March 1939.
