Why is Hungary considered a landlocked country?

Hungary is considered a landlocked country because it is an independent sovereign state that lacks direct access to an ocean or a sea that is not landlocked. Situated within the Carpathian Basin in central Europe, it is entirely surrounded by land and shares borders with Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Austria.123

While the country’s current geography is defined by these borders, its status as a landlocked nation was solidified following the Treaty of Trianon in 1920. Under the terms of this treaty, which concluded World War I, Hungary lost approximately two-thirds of its former territory and population to neighboring successor states, effectively severing its historical access to coastal regions.45
