Curzon Line The border between Soviet Russia and Poland established by the
Paris Peace Conference on 8 December 1919, and later named after the British Foreign Secretary
Curzon. According to the principle of national self-determination, it incorporated into Poland all those areas with a Polish majority. The Poles demanded a border further to the east, to include areas that had been Polish until the Polish partitions of the eighteenth century. This caused the
Russo-Polish War, as a result of which, in the Peace of Riga (18 March 1921), they secured a border much further to the east, enlarging their territory by about one-third. Following the
Hitler-Stalin Pact, Poland was divided between the USSR and Germany in September 1939 roughly along the Curzon Line, and it became the basis for Poland's eastern border after 1945.
