Prvi poskusi odcepitve Prekmurja od Madžarske po prvi svetovni vojni, so bili s strani bodočih voditeljev Murske republike. Ustanovitev Murske republike je dne 29. marca 1919 razglasil Vilmoš Tkalec, namestnik deželnega komisarja Madžarske Sovjetske republike v Murski Soboti. 3. junija 1919 so odcepitev zatrle madžarske enote, ki jih je tja poslala boljševistična oblast iz Budimpešte. 31. maja 1919 so v Prekmurje poslali šest pehotnih bataljonov, da bi strli odporniško gibanje. 2. junija so enote vstopile v Prekmurje s 4 strani. Hitro mobilizirane oborožene sile Murske Republike, ki jih j organiziral in vodil kapetan Evgen Pernetzky, niso imele nobenih možnosti, da bi ustavile močnejše madžarske enote.
Pomembne odločitve so bile potem sprejete poleti 1919. 9 julija 1919 je Vrhovni svet Pariške mirovne konference odločil, da bo meja Kraljevine SHS z Madžarsko na sevorovzhodu potekala po rekah Mura in Raba. Z dovoljenjem Pariške mirovne konference so 12. avgusta 1919 vojaške enote Kraljevine SHS pod vodstvom generala Krste Smiljanića skupaj s podpornimi enotami prostovoljcev iz Prekmurja, Primorske in celo Hrvaške vstopile v Prekmurje. Zavzetje celotnega območja se je začelo 13. avgusta 1919. Vojaške enote so vstopile v Prekmurje iz več strani. Madžarske vojaške enote so se umaknile še pred prihodom vojske Kraljevine SHS, tako da med vojskama ni bilo nobenih incidentov.
Praznovanje ob osvoboditvi Prekmurja izpod madžarske oblasti in združitve s Slovenijo je bilo 17. avgusta 1919 v Beltincih. Več kot 20.000 ljudi je prispelo celo iz bolj oddaljenih mest, da bi izrazili svoje veselje ob tem zgodovinskem dogodku. Dogodka se je udeležil tudi Srečko Lajnšic, ki je bil imenovan za začasnega civilnega komisarja v Prekmurju. Prekmurski Slovenci, ki so se udeležili praznovanja, so Lajnšicevo razglasitev združitve z matično domovino pozdravili z neizmernim veseljem.

ENG:
The first attempt to separate Prekmurje from Hungary after World War I, made by the would-be founders of the Republic of Mur, was very spectacular in character. The establishment of the Republic of Mur was announced on 29th May by Vilmoš Tkalec (Tkálecz Vilmos), the deputy county commissioner of the communist Hungarian Soviet Republic in Murska Sobota. On 3rd June 1919, its independence was annulled by Hungarian units sent there by the Bolshevik authorities in Budapest. The Hungarian Bolshevik authorities in Budapest ordered six infantry battalions into Prekmurje on 31st May 1919, to crush the separatist movement. On 2nd June, these battalions entered Prekmurje from four sides. The promptly mobilised armed forces of the Republic of Mur, organised and led by captain Eugene Pernetzky (Perneczky Jenő), did not stand a chance of stopping the far stronger Hungarian units.
Some significant decisions were taken in the summer of 1919. On 9th July 1919, the Supreme Council of the Paris conference decided that the border of the Kingdom of SHS with Hungary in the north-east should coincide with the watershed line of the Mur and Raba river valleys. With the permission of the Paris peace conference, SHS military units under the command of gen. Krste Smiljanić, together with supporting units of the Voluntary Legion from Prekmurje, Littoral and even Croatia, entered Prekmurje on 12th August. The occupation of the whole territory started on 13th August. Military units entered Prekmurje from a few directions. Hungarian military units had withdrawn before the armies of the Kingdom of SHS entered the territory so there were no incidents between them. Celebrations occasioned by the liberation of Prekmurje from Hungary and its unification with Slovenia were held on Sunday, 17th August, in Beltinci, situated south of Murska Sobota. Over twenty thousand people arrived even from distant towns expressing their spontaneous joy at this historic event. Also Srečko Lajnšic, who was appointed as the Temporary Civil Commissioner of Prekmurje. The Slovenians from Prekmurje, who gathered in Beltinci on 17th August 1919, welcomed Lajnšic’s announcement about the unification with the motherland with unalloyed joy.
