After the First World War Hungary signed the Treaty of Trianon with the Entente on June 4th 1920. The author of the peace treaty was Woodrow Wilson, one of the most important participants in the Paris Peace Conference, together with other representatives of the Big Four. He has also published 14 so called Wilson's points, and in the 10th he mentioned the people of Austria-Hungary – nations would have the right to self-determination. He only wanted to reorganise the monarchy. As the monarchy rejected the right of peoples self-determination, Lansing proposed to Wilson the creation of Poland, Bohemia and a State of South Slavs. The newspapers of the time also wrote about the events before, during and after the Peace Conference, and the thesis will focus on three of them – Slovenec, Slovenski narod and Novine.
