Rick,
Hi Dora, Hey, it seems that no one besides you, me & Gerhard care about this... so I guess we can do anything we want. :)
can't find Slovakia (Upper Hungary). What about this most eastern part of Czechoslovakia (Karpatho-Ukraine), which came after WWII to Ukraine?
Good points. I will try adding some things.
Then I am not sure about Austrian-Silesia under Poland - are you sure, Poland got a part of it?
Here's what Magocsi says (a bit long but stay with me to the 2nd paragraph): The Versailles agreement also called for plebiscites in East Prussia and in upper Silesia. In East Prussia.... In Upper Silesia the situation was more complex. With the exception of a small area around Hlucin/Hultschin assigned to Czechoslovakia, the rest of upper Silesia esat of Opole held a plebiscite on March 20, 1921. The results were inconclusive, however, so that a final decision to divide the area between Poland and Germany (over the latter's protest) was made by the Allied Council of Ambassadors (10/19/1921). In neighboring Cieszyn/Tesi'n/Teschen, which had been the easternmost part of the former Austrian province of Silesia, the Allies rejected the idea of a plebiscite and simply divided the area and its main city between Poland and Czechoslovakia. At the same time (July 28, 1920), the Council of Ambassadors assigned to Poland small fragments of the former Hungarian counties of Orava/A'rva and Spis/Szepes in the Tatra region of north-central Slovakia. Now, the question is, do we have all of that represented properly?! :)
