Most people in present-day Hungary reject annexation of lands in which people of other nations view the Treaty of Trianon as their liberation, though the general public opinion in Hungary is that the [[Treaty of Trianon]] was not the right solution for the nationalities living in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy— especially for Hungarians. Irredentist organizations want to change borders and to create Greater Hungary, some by any means necessary. However, even among these groups there are differences: some want to include only areas with Hungarian ethnic majority, others propose the independence of [[Transylvania]] as a multi-ethnic/linguistic state similar to [[Switzerland]], while the more extreme—a tiny minority within Hungary itself, but a larger minority among Hungarian minorities in neighbouring countries{{Fact|date=June 2007}}—want to restore what they see as "Hungary's maximum historic borders" regardless of ethnic compositions or the sovereignty of neighboring countries.
After World War II, a Hungarian Autonomous Region was created in Transylvania, which encompassed most of the land inhabited by the Székelys. This region lasted until 1964 when the administrative reform divided Romania into the current counties. According to some claims, from [[1947]] until the [[1989]] [[Romanian Revolution of 1989|Romanian Revolution]] and the death of [[Nicolae Ceauşescu]], a systematic [[Romanianization]] of Hungarians took place, with several discriminatory provisions, denying them their cultural identity. This tendency started to abate after 1989, and has abated further with the granting of significant minority cultural rights as [[Romania]] prepared to join the [[European Union]].
