After the First World War, Burgenland was named Deutsch-Westungarn (German-West Hungary) in the 1919 Treaty of St. German and the Treaty of Trianon and was awarded to Austria in 1919.
After the devastating conflict of World War I, Burgenland was redefined as German-Hungarian territory in the 1919 Treaties of St. Germain and Trianon, and subsequently became a part of Austria in 1919.
