4.2 Shifting borders in Europe

1. Changing borders
2. Lviv
3. Wrocław
4. Shifting borders

What can you tell me about the history of Eastern Europe?

State boarders should not be interfered with.

No one should try to change them.

Anyone who does so could cause a war, and no one wants that...

Changing borders

In Lviv (Ukraine) and Wrocław (Poland), the consequences of all sorts of border shifts since 1900 can clearly be seen.

Name the changes from 1902 - 2015

Lviv --> How has the city developed between 1902 and today?

1902: Lemburg

- city in the east of Austrian Habsburg Empire

- ‘melting pot’ of peoples and cultures --> religions, languages

After WWI: Lwow

- city in the east of Poland

- Austrians moved out

Lviv --> How has the city developed between 1902 and today?

During and after WWII: Lvov

- German killed nearly all Jews in WW II

- Soviet Union took over power from Germany --> Lvov part of Soviet Union

- Ukrainians and Russians instead of Poles

After 1991: Lviv

- Ukraine became an independent state

- city in west of Ukraine

Wrocław --> How has the city developed between 1902 and today?

Before 1945: Breslau

- big city in the east of Germany

- 94% Germans, 6% Jews and Poles

After 1945: Wrocław

- city in the west of Poland

- many Poles: Lviv --> Wrocław

- Germans: Wrocław --> Germany

Shifting borders

When borders shift, peoples and cultures suffer.

Border shifts are caused by political factors.

--> Present-day examples?

Border shifts mainly happen in the east and southeast of Europe.
The borders of the Netherlands seem to be permanent.
Are they? Explain your answer...
