In 1795 the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth disappeared from the map of Europe. How were Poland’s borders set after 123 years following World War I? Following World War II, its borders were redrawn again. On what basis? Few countries in Europe have experienced such drastic changes in its geography and demography in the 20th century.
Join us on an exploration of the evolution of Poland’s borders after the First and Second World Wars, led by Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Dr. John Kulczycki. Dr. Kulczycki’s nearly five decades of research on East-Central European history (particularly that of Poland) and regional nationalism has led to the publication of over four dozen articles on the subject.
