testimonies from the natives of Tesohen to lay the basis for
Polish claims.
The Rebirth of the Polish Republic, by Titus Komarnicki,
from the Polish point of view, and The Shaping of the Czecho-
slovak State by D. Perman, from the Czechoslovak point of
view, are secondary sources of great value.
The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first
chapter explains the strategic importance of Teschen Silesia
in light of its historical background and setting. The second
and third chapters detail the intricacies of peacemaking in
Paris and in Teschen Silesia. According to Poland the Teschen
problem was one of the first examples of political success
attained by forcible fajt accompli. Besides, the Principal
Allied Powers whose resolutions were decisive at the peace
conference, each held a different view of self-determination.
Chapters four and five explain the final settlement of
the territorial dispute. The armed conflict which flared up
in Teschen Silesia January, 1919, illustrates the complexity
of the territorial questions faced by both the Slavic states
on the one hand and the Peace Conference on the other,. Be-
cause Poland in particular ,and Czechoslovakia in general
were dissatisfied with the settlement, relations between these
nations became embroiled to the detriment of both states in
the post war era. Borderline disputes prolonged tension be-
tween Poland and Czechoslovakia for several years until the
Warsaw protocol of May 6, 1924 finally settled the matter.
