EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the establishment of Danzig as a free state in 1920. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, this port city was designated as a free state to provide the new Polish state with access to the sea. The image showcases troops and officials inspecting the port, symbolizing a pivotal shift in international relations.
The events depicted in this photograph highlight the complexities of post-World War I diplomacy and territorial arrangements. The decision to grant Danzig free status was a strategic move aimed at ensuring Poland's economic viability and security. This snapshot from February 1920 offers viewers a glimpse into a crucial chapter in European history.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are reminded of the intricate web of alliances and treaties that shaped the geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century. The creation of Danzig as a free state reflects both pragmatic considerations and idealistic aspirations for peace and cooperation among nations.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this remarkable photograph, allowing us to connect with past events and gain insights into their enduring significance. It serves as a visual reminder of how international order can be reshaped through negotiation, compromise, and foresight.
