Abstract
After the end of World War I, the struggle for post-war order in Europe began. The collapse of the superpowers: Germany, Austro-Hungary and Tsarist Russia, allowed the creation of many countries in Central Europe. Every nation wanted to have its own state. This led to the emergence of political and military conflicts over disputed territories. One of such territories was Eastern Lesser Poland, which, after fighting with the Bolsheviks and Ukrainians, was occupied by the nascent Poland. The Ukrainians put forward their claims to this territory and their own state. Own interests, including the protection of the occupied Transcarpathian Ruthenia, were pursued by the newly established Czechoslovakia. The Western powers in the League of Nations supported various solutions. The dispute lasted until the beginning of 1923 and was one of the last chords in the construction of the Versailles order in Europe.
