As a result of the First (1938) and Second Vienna Award (1940), territories that had been ceded by the Kingdom of Hungary at the 1920 Treaty of Trianon were partly regained from Czechoslovakia and Romania respectively. This required modification of the administrative divisions. Hungary excluding Sub-Carpathia had three levels of administrative sub-division. Level One were: County (''Vármegye'', vm) and City with Municipal Status (''Törvényhatósági Jogú Város'', tjv).
