Summary/Abstract: The complete history of the Treaty of Trianon should necessarily include its final phase, the ratification of the Treaty by the signatories, as a condition for its entry into force. By analyzing the history of its ratification (1920-1921), our survey makes considerations on the historiography of this Treaty and on the need to broaden its scope at the level of 21st century standards. The decisive factors in the process and implementation of the Treaty have been - if we ignore the divergences over details - the consciousness of general political responsibility, of the raison d’état of each signatory Party, of World Peace as the Supreme Reason. Therefore, the Treaty of Trianon may be considered as a valuable chapter in the knowledge of history, a test of conscience and responsible reflection that creatively look forward to the world of today and tomorrow.
