The Vienna Awards are two arbitral awards by which arbiters of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy sought to enforce peacefully the claims of Hungary on territory it had lost in 1920 when it signed the Treaty of Trianon. The First Vienna Award occurred in 1938 and the Second in 1940.

The awards, also known as the Vienna Arbitration Awards, Vienna Arbitral Awards, Vienna Diktats, or Viennese Arbitrals, sanctioned Hungary's annexation of territories in present-day Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania which Hungary had sought to regain in the period between the two World Wars.

Second Vienna Award

Romania, with Northern Transylvania highlighted in yellow.
Main article: Second Vienna Award

By this award, on August 30, 1940, Germany and Italy compelled Romania to return half of Transylvania (an area henceforth known as Northern Transylvania) to Hungary. This decision was taken not so much to do justice as to win Hungary for German war aims. In reversing a major element of the Treaty of Trianon, it, like Trianon, granted a multiethnic area to another country, caused massive migration of populations from both sides, and sundered old socioeconomic units.
