After the Great War, the Treaty of Versailles created
nine 'new nations', or recreated old nations. With
the dissolution of Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the countries of Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were created.
Poland was reconstituted from its former lands
in Austria-Hungary, Germany and Russia. Romania
was created from Russia and Poland. In
the Baltic, Russia gave up Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. In the east, Germany gave up part of Silesia and the area known as the Polish Corridor
(indicated by the colour green). In the west, Germany gave Alsace-Lorraine back to France (colour
green) and gave Eupen-Malmedy to Belgium. Germany gave up claims to the Saar. The Rhineland (light
blue colour) was 'demilitarised'. In the east, the dissolution of Austria-Hungary created
the countries of Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia and made up parts of Romania and Italy (north) (colour yellow).
In the east, Russia gave up Finland and the Baltic states - Lithuania, Estonia
and Latvia. Russia gave up territory that made up most of Poland. Russia also gave up Bessarabia, which was taken by Romania.
(All in the colour light purple.) Bulgaria gave up Thrace (colour grey). The Ottoman
Empire was dissolved. Anatolia became Turkey. The French controlled Syria under a League of Nations mandate (colour dark purple).
The British controlled Iraq, Trans-Jordan and Palestine under a League of Nations mandate (colour orange).

----------------- Katyn Forest Massacre The Soviets divided Poland with Germany in 1939.
The Soviets transported 22,000 captive Poles
from eastern Poland to Russia, executed them in the Katyn Forest in the suburbs of Smolensk,
and buried them in mass graves in 1940.
The Germans attacked and overran Soviet-occupied Poland in 1941.
In 1943 the Germans dug up the mass graves.
The Soviets claimed the Germans had killed the Poles.
The Polish government-in-exile in London asked
the Red Cross to investigate. Stalin broke off relations with the exiles.
In 1990, the Soviets admitted killing the Poles. Im Wald von Katyn Dokumentarische Bildstreifen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8jqENCJARw (1:14:17) Katyn Forest Massacre 1943

http://worldatwar.net/article/miquelon/ The Mercury Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, 29 December 1941 Authorised By Free French LONDON. Sunday.- It has been revealed that Vice-Admlral Muselter was sent by "the Free
French National Committee to occupy the Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. "The Times" describes the action as trivial and Irresponsible. The Free French headquarters in London issued a statement embodying
an eye-witness' "description of Vice Admiral-Muselier's operations. The statement declares: "The inhabitants of St. Pierre and Miquelon told the Free French National
Committee several months ago that they wanted to join the Free French and the Allies and resume the struggle for liberation.
Furthermore, it was generally* known that, under the Governor, whom Vichy had given dictatorial powers, St. Pierre Radio was
broadcasting meteorological information which was useful to the enemy. "The Free French National Committee sent Vice-Admiral Muselier to
St. Pierre to clear up the situation. He landed with a small body of ratings. The manifestation, by a plebiscite, of the French popular will is
significant because, for the first time since June, 1940, a purely French population was able to express its own feelings
in accordance with democratic principles and the right of self-determination." It was officially stated in Vichy that the Government viewed with
satisfaction the United States' public condemnation of the seizure, which was in contradiction of the United States' assurance
that the status quo of French possessions in the New World should be maintained. NEW YORK. Sunday. The "New York Herald-Tribune" correspondent at Washington says the
Secretary of State (Mr. Hull) will investigate the possibility of solving the St. Pierre and Miquelon tangle without hurting
Vichy or the Free French, but simultaneously ensuring Allied control of the islands powerful radio stations. The Canadian Prime Minister (Mr Mackenzie King) said that the Canadian
Government would co-operate fully with the United States and Britain in diplomatic action resulting from the Free French action.
He said that it was neither expected nor approved by Canada. Asked whether it was Canada's business, he replied: "Everything is
everybody's business these days." France finds a Fighting Leader British Paramount News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNne6ztKlR4 The Fighting French Navy The French submarine Surcouf The Surcouf was the biggest submarine
