Abstract
ABSTRACT The demarcation of the new German–Polish borderlands, especially the sections adjacent to the so-called Polish Corridor, was one of the most controversial provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, which ended the First World War between the victorious Allied Powers and defeated Germany. Indeed, the Polish Corridor became the subject of an intense and wide-ranging public debate from 1919 to the Second World War. In the course of this debate, German and Polish authors regularly relied on maps to reinforce their respective positions and to shape popular opinion. This article examines some of these maps to further our understanding of the role of cartography in international debate surrounding the Polish Corridor.
