Komárom is a city in Hungary on the south bank of the Danube in Komárom-Esztergom County. Komárom fortress played an important role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and many contemporary English sources refer to it as the Fortress of Comorn. On the south bank of the Danube, Komárom was formerly a separate village called Újszőny. On the northern bank of the Danube Komárom and Újszőny were connected with an iron bridge in 1892 and the two towns were united under the name city of Komárom in 1896. On 4th June 1920, the Treaty of Trianon split the city in two because the borders of Czechoslovakia were determined by the river Danube. This division separated the historical Komárom county of the Kingdom of Hungary and the city of Komárom. The bigger northern part of the city was attached to Czechoslovakia, renamed Komárno, its created a sizable Hungarian minority in present-day Slovakia. The southern part of the city, lying south of the Danube, remained in Hungary. On 2 November 1938 by the First Vienna Award, the northern part of the city was returned to Hungary and the divided Komárom reunified. At the end of World War II the city was again divided between Hungary and Czechoslovakia, Komárno is in today's Slovakia on the northern bank of the Danube.
