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.
