The First Hungarian Republic (), until 21 March 1919 the Hungarian People's Republic (), was a short-lived unrecognized people's republic that existed – apart from a interruption in the form of the Hungarian Soviet Republic – from 16 November 1918 until 8 August 1919. The republic was established in the wake of the dissolution of Austria-Hungary following World War I. The First Hungarian Republic replaced the Kingdom of Hungary, and was in turn replaced by the Hungarian Republic, another short-lived state, from 1919 to 1920. During the rule of Count Mihály Károlyi's pacifist cabinet, Hungary lost the control over approximately 75% of its former pre-World War I territories () without armed resistance and became subject of foreign occupation.
