"The basic problem in Hungary was that less than half of the population were ethnically Hungarian. After the Ausgleich the Hungarians made at least one attempt to solve the cultural problem involved in the situation with the nationality law of 1868. The intent of this law was to arrange for a compromise between the non-Magyar nationalities and the Hungarians. The fact was, however, that the nationalities demanded more than cultural nationalism. They were in the process of establishing ties with their co-nationals - the Rumanians, Serbians, Czechs - living outside the monarchy or in the Austrian half, and were working for political independence. Moreover, the nationality law was seldom observed in Hungary; the rights of the nationalities were violated continuously by the Hungarian government. Their schools were closed and confiscated; their protests were suppressed by the police; their leaders were jailed for long periods of time. Hungarian propagandists spoke of a country of thirty million Hungarians, and of the sacred right of Hungary to “ Magyarize ” its nationalities."

Paul Lendvai (Austrian historian of Magyar origin) wrote a book, The Hungarians. A Thousand Years of Victory in Defeat (Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey, 2003). These are some enlightening excerpts from Lendvai's book: (pages 374 - 383)

For hundreds of years, Hungarians proved that they absolutely cannot deal with minorities in their own territory (more than 50% of the population). During the Habsburg empire, they vetoed any plan by Austria that would have given more autonomy to the bigger ethnic groups in Hungary. The Entente therefore figured, let's give all the nations their own country, and everyone will be happy, to which Hungarians replied "No, no, this whole territory is ours, as it was given to us by God". The Entente was baffled by the profound disconnection to reality and the insatiability of the Hungarians (who hadn't have a territory of their own for 400 years, after the Mohacs Battle and the subsequent disappearance of Hungary), and so drew the borders in ways to 1 : Give every nation their own countries, 2 : Not give territories where different ethnic groups were living together to Hungarians. And Hungarians, since then, have kept proving that this was the right choice, showing times and times again that they absolutely can't handle minorities, and are incapable of having a regional foreign policy that would amount to more than simply trolling their neighbors with infinite whines and wails about the Hungarian lost mini-empire.
Finally the idea of the own country for each nation wasn't solved only for Hungarians. The other countries created from pieces of Hungary has a lot of minorities.
