Very good. Dissected and mounted on linen in 32 panels. Toning. Size 37.5 x 34.25 Inches. This is the Trzaska, Evert, and Michalski 1930 Interwar map of Poland under the Second Polish Republic. It is one of the few large scale maps of Poland from its brief period of unified independence between World War I (1914 - 1918), and the 1939 Nazi occupation. A Closer Look The map illustrates a reconstituted Poland. Cities, towns, and villages are labeled throughout, with 'main roads', 'roads', and 'dirt roads' identified. Important cities, such as Warsaw, Krakow, Wilno, Lwów (Lviv), and Gdansk, are highlighted with intercity milage noted. At Poland's borders, small notations mark the way to Prague, Budapest, Berlin, Bucharest, and Moscow. Second Polish Republic (1918 - 1939) The Second Polish Republic, officially known as the Republic of Poland, was established in 1918 following the end of World War I, when Poland regained its sovereignty after 123 years of partitions by Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Russia. The newly independent Poland faced significant challenges, including territorial disputes and a devastated economy. The period between the two World Wars was nonetheless marked by economic, social, and territorial growth, including gains from the Soviet Union in the Polish-Soviet War (1919 - 1921). The Republic ceased to exist in 1939 when it was invaded by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, leading to its division under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
