History
In 1918 (confirmed by the Treaty of Trianon 1920), most of the county (including Nagyszőllős) became part of newly formed Czechoslovakia. The southern part (including Halmi, Halmeu in Romanian language) became part of Romania except Hungarian occupation between 1940-1944.
During World War II, the Czechoslovak part was occupied by Hungary under the First Vienna Award. The county Ugocsa was recreated, again with Nagyszőllős (Vynohradiv) as capital.
After World War II, the formerly Czechoslovak part of Ugocsa county became part of the Soviet Union, Ukrainian SSR, Zakarpattia Oblast. Since 1991, when the Soviet Union split up, the Zakarpattia Oblast is part of Ukraine.
The southern part of the county is now part of the Romanian county Satu Mare.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
