Curzon Line

The Curzon Line is a historically proposed boundary that served as a reference for dividing territories between Poland and Soviet Russia after World War I and again after World War II. It roughly follows the eastern borders of Poland, marking a demarcation line that aimed to separate Polish territory from Soviet-controlled areas. Although it was not officially a border initially, it influenced border negotiations, especially in 1945 when the Soviet Union shifted Poland's eastern border closer to the Curzon Line. Today, it is often associated with the eastern boundary of Poland and is part of the historical context of European border changes in the 20th century.
