Venice Protocol of 13 October

Venice Protocol of 13 October 1921 in the exhibition “100 Years of Burgenland” at Schlaining Castle in the town of Stadtschlaining, Burgenland. The Venice Protocol is an agreement between Austria and Hungary concluded through Italian mediation. Hungary promised to hand over present-day Burgenland without a fight, and Austria accepted a referendum (14–16 Dec. 1921) in Ödenburg (today's Sopron) and the surrounding area, which had not been provided for in the Treaty of Trianon and which led to the area remaining part of Hungary.
