[Balkans, Post-War frontiers]

The file contains informations about post-war frontiers in the Balkan area. General data about the Post-war territorial settlements, population and the frontier areas are given. To discribe the post-war frontiers in the Balkan area handwritten informations about several frontier treaties and pakts were collected. Just to name a view, like the treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine, completed on 27 November 1919 and the treaty of Lausanne, which was concluded at the Palais de Rumine on July 24, 1923, between Turkey and Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Greece, Romania and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. With this treaty, after winning the Greek-Turkish War in 1922, Turkey was able to revise the provisions of the Sèvres treaty, which had been concluded after the First World War. The agreement subsequently legalized the expulsion of Greeks and Turks, which had already been carried out. The current borders of Turkey and Greece have their origin in this treaty. Furthermore informations about the Balkan Pact of February 1934 are attached. The Balkan Pact was a treaty signed by Greece, Turkey, Romania and Yugoslavia in Athens, aimed at maintaining the geopolitical status quo in the region following World War I. The signatories agreed to suspend all disputed territorial claims against each other and their immediate neighbors following the aftermath of the war and a rise in various regional ethnic minority tensions. Also the Little Entente is mentioned, which was an alliance formed in 1920 and 1921 by Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia with the purpose of common defense against Hungarian revanchism and the prevention of a Habsburg restoration. France supported the alliance by signing treaties with each member country. In addition informations about the Balakn areas and its population can be seen.
