Description: ca. 1920 Original Antique Rand McNally Map Poland and Czechoslovakiaafter World War I ** Following World War I, Czechoslovakia emerged as a new nation from the dissolving Austro-Hungarian Empire. The border between Poland and Czechoslovakia was primarily defined by the division of the disputed region of Cieszyn Silesia, with the western part awarded to Czechoslovakia and the eastern part to Poland, effectively splitting the territory along a railway line, leaving a significant Polish minority on the Czech side. The Treaty of Versailles established Poland with a strip of land called the "Polish Corridor" that provided access to the Baltic Sea, while the city of Danzig (Gdansk) itself became a separate "Free City" under the protection of the League of Nations, essentially meaning it was not part of Poland but had a customs union with the country, allowing Poland to utilize its port facilities; this arrangement created a situation where East Prussia was separated from the rest of Germany by the Polish Corridor and Danzig, causing significant tension between Poland and Germany approximate sizes map image: 6.0" x 6.3"card: 6.7" x 7.5" taken fromAtlas of the WorldPublishers Rand McNally & Co.
