Spa Conference

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spa Conference was a meeting between the members of the Entente, and of Poland, Germany, and Czechoslovakia that took place in the town of Spa, Belgium between 5 July 1920 and 16 July 1920.

As a result of the conference the region of Cieszyn Silesia was divided between Poland and Czechoslovakia on 28 July 1920, thus creating in practice Zaolzie and leaving sizeable Polish minority on the Czech side of the border. This division also created further future animosities between these two countries.
