Historical Chronology: 1.11.1918: the Entente forces led by General Franchet d'Esperey enter Belgrade. 1.11.1918: the representatives of Austria-Hungary sign an armistice with the Entente at Padua. 7_13.11.1918: negotiations on the Belgrade military Convention of Armistice [known also as the "Belgrade Armistice"] which will be signed by General Paul P. Henrys, the Voyvode Zivojin Misic -as Franchet d'Esperey's delegates- and Linder Béla, the delegate of Hungarian Government lead by Károlyi Mihály. 24.11.1918: soon after the Belgrade Armistice, Banat was entirely occupied by the Serbian Army. Jan. 1919: the Serbians withdrew from the eastern part of the Banat, namely from the Krasso-Szöreny/ie Caras-Severin and a little part from Temes/ie Timis counties. Here their place was taken by the French Army. After withdrawing from Eastern Banat, the Serb administration continued in a rectangular area of the Banat bounded by the Mures River to the North, a line 10 Km East of the Timisoara-Vrsac railway track on the East, the Tisa River to the West, and the Danube River to the South. Following the decision to divide the Banat along ethnic lines, the Serbs withdrew from this region too to form the new Serbian-Romanian frontier. So, the Serbian occupation in what is today the Romanian Banat lasted until 26.07.1919 [in the Western part of Banat, namely in counties of Torontal (partially) and Temes with Temesvár/Timisoara]. 28.07.1919: the entire today's Romanian Banat came under the Romanian administration, being gradually occupied by the Romanian troops. 3.08.1919: the Romanian troops entered in Timisoara. 20.08.1919: the Romanian troops occupied the entire today's Romanian Banat. 10.08.1920: the Sčvres Treaty between the Principal Allied and Associated Powers and Poland, Roumania, the Serb-Croat-Slovene State and the Czechoslovak State relative to Certain Frontiers of those States. The historical Banat is split in 3 parts [see Article 3 below]. 24.11.1923: a further frontier change took place with Romania receiving from the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes the town of Jimbolia together with Beba-Veche, Pusta-Kerestur, Ciorda, Iam while Romania renounced to Modos (today Yasa Tomic), Pardany, Surjan, Crivobara, Nagy Gaj]. The border thus took on the configuration that is present today. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Treaty between the Principal Allied and Associated Powers and Poland, Romania, the Serb-Croat-Slovene State and the Czechoslovak State relative to Certain Frontiers of those States [Sčvres, 10.08.1920] Article 3 Subject to the special provisions of the Treaties, Supplementary Agreements and Decisions concluded or to be concluded for the purpose of completing the present settlement, the High Contracting Parties recognise the sovereignty of Romania over the territories defined by the following frontiers (see map No. 2): 1.
