The village became part of Czechoslovakia in 1918, and the border with Hungary, running south of here, was fixed by the Treaty of Trianon in 1920. Most people here spoke Hungarian and nobody had asked them; the refinery, meanwhile, now had to sell into a new and smaller home market. Between the wars this was an ordinary, prosperous, bilingual sugar village on the plain — which is worth saying, because what came next was decided somewhere else entirely.Roku 1918 sa obec stala súčasťou Československa a hranicu s Maďarskom, ktorá vedie južne odtiaľto, potvrdila roku 1920 Trianonská zmluva. Väčšina ľudí tu hovorila po maďarsky a nikto sa ich nepýtal; cukrovar zase musel odrazu predávať na novom a menšom domácom trhu. Medzi vojnami to bola obyčajná, slušne prosperujúca dvojjazyčná cukrovarská obec na rovine — a stojí za to to povedať, lebo o tom, čo prišlo potom, sa rozhodovalo úplne inde.
