History

As a result of the Treaty of Trianon - the peace treaty by Hungary that ended its role in First World War - a bridgehead was created for Czechoslovakia on the right bank of river Danube at Bratislava, mainly for defensive purposes. At this time Petržalka was transferred to the newly founded country.Шаблон:Citation needed

Territories involved in the Treaties of Paris. The Bratislava bridgehead is in green.

It was an idea of the Czechoslovakia delegation at the Paris Peace Conference that they would need an extended defensive territory at the Bratislava bridgehead. They sought Dunacsún (Čunovo), Horvátjárfalu (Jarovce), Oroszvár (Rusovce), Rajka and Bezenye. The first three were transferred, creating a territory of 62 km².

During the 1970s, a microdistrict was built at Petržalka, with a population of 100,000 inhabitants. Today its four villages are a part of the Bratislava V district.Шаблон:Citation needed
