The First Vienna Award was a treaty signed on 2 November 1938 under the Vienna Arbitration, held at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna. The arbitration and its award were direct consequences of the Munich Agreement of the previous month, which had partitioned Czechoslovakia. Germany and Italy supported Hungarian claims to revise the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, and the award separated territories in southern Slovakia and southern Carpathian Rus, which were mostly Hungarian populated, from Czechoslovakia and returned them to Hungary. Czechoslovakia also ceded small patches of land in the Spis and Orava regions to Poland. In March 1939 Adolf Hitler allowed Hungary to occupy the rest of Carpathian Rus, restoring a common Hungarian and Polish border. After the Second World War the 1947 Treaty of Paris declared the Vienna Award null and void.
