Abstract
The main aim of this collection of essays is to challenge the general Western historical approach to the results of the Treaty of Versailles of 1919. The peace treaty (or, to be more accurate, a number of peace treaties) was signed between Allied and Central Powers and it established a new political order that was to govern European politics for the next twenty years. Essays published in this volume attempt to present a more complex picture of the post-World War I politics. As the authors argue, European peace after the Great War was governed not only by the Treaty of Versailles, but also by the Treaty of Riga signed in March 1921. In other words, Riga played as important a role in the East as Versailles did in the West. The book is not the first attempt to put the Treaty in a wider context. It is rather surprising that the editor of the volume does not mention Traktat ryski roku 1921 po 75 latach (1998), which is an earlier collection of essays edited by Mieczyslaw Wojciechowski.
