Chances of Poland in case of war between EU (ie western Europe) and Visegrad Group ? [80]
Transylvania, yes. And Rijeka. As Hungarians call it `Croatian corridor to the sea`.
But we there coming to the problem. If you ask people in Rijeka (coastal city on Adriatic) and Istra (peninsula) to chose on referendum where would they rather belong- in Italy, in Hungary or in Serbia when Croatia collapse, most of them would chose Serbia, no matter its almost 100% Catholic populace. Then what would Hungary? Forcibly to take them? Or Italy? Add to it that Serbian army during WW1 liberated local Slavs (some of them considered themselves Serbs at that time) on Istra, Rijeka as in whole of Dalmatia, complete Serbian and Slavic Adriatic. I don`t say `Croatian Adriatic` because it wasn`t that. `Croat` thing is essentially Vatican`s invention.
So, exactly that `Croatian corridor to the sea` is only way to Hungary to get to Adriatic. Zagreb would want them and Karlovac (continental cities on direction) but Dalmatian coast would refuse Hungary. And Italy.
What I want to tell you, even if Hungary take part in division of former to be Croatia, if Trianon fall, Hungary can realistically count on certain continental areas but, won`t get access to Adriatic. I mean that could be possible only if world powers force populace of Istra and Rijeka and impose military pressure on those areas.
Its all very interesting.
