The Hungarian–Czechoslovak War, also known as the War for Upper Hungary (Hungarian: Háború Felső-Magyarországért), was a military conflict between the Czechoslovakia and Hungary. It lasted from November 1918 to August 1919.
In 1919, the Hungarian Red Army launched a military operation against Czechoslovak forces, which is referred to in Hungary as the Northern Campaign (Hungarian: északi hadjárat).
