| الملخص: | The change of national status of the historical region of the Hungarian kingdom, the socalled Southern Hungary (Hungarian "Delvidek"), was stipulated by the Armistice of Belgrade on November 13, 1918. It was concluded between the Hungarian revolutionary government of Count Mihaly Karolyi and the Allied Powers in the Balkans (French Marshal Franchet d'Esperey). Hungary pledged to allow the Entente to occupy a number of points on its territory, including the overwhelming part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes that later seceded in accordance with the Treaty of Trianon of 1920. However, already in the period from the Armistice of Belgrade to the Treaty of Trianon, Delvidek (Serbian Vojvodina), the civil administration gradually came under the control of Serbian authorities. The Hungarians living in this territory suffered from numerous measures of the emerging Yugoslav state administration, which were aimed at discouraging them in their political, economic and cultural rights, as well as the right to use their mother tongue. Until the end of the 1920s, representatives of the Hungarian national minority in Delvidek developed their own strategy for survival in new political and state conditions.
