The Hungary–Romania border is the state border between Hungary and Romania.

History

It was established in 1920 by an international commission (the "Lord Commission") presided over by geographers such as Robert William Seton-Watson and Emmanuel de Martonne, and the historian Ernest Denis.[1]

Geography

The Hungarian–Romanian border begins at a tripoint located in the historical region of the Banat, 15 km south-east of the Hungarian town of Szeged, where the border between Hungary and Serbia intersects the land border between Romania and Serbia. It generally runs south-south-westwards/north-north-eastwards across the Pannonian Basin to another tripoint located on the Tur river, 16 km north of the Romanian town of Satu Mare, where the Hungarian-Ukrainian border intersects the land border between Romania and Ukraine.
