SECTION II
BOUNDARIES OF GERMANY
[Sidenote: Germany to cede to France and Poland.]
Germany cedes to France Alsace-Lorraine, 5,600 square miles to the
southwest, and to Belgium two small districts between Luxemburg and
Holland, totaling 382 square miles. She also cedes to Poland the
southeastern tip of Silesia beyond and including Oppeln, most of Posen,
and West Prussia, 27,686 square miles, East Prussia being isolated from
the main body by a part of Poland. She loses sovereignty over the
northeastern tip of East Prussia, 40 square miles north of the river
Memel, and the internationalized areas about Danzig, 729 square miles,
and the Basin of the Sarre, 738 square miles, between the western border
of the Rhenish Palatinate of Bavaria and the southeast corner of
Luxemburg. The Danzig area consists of the V between the Nogat and
Vistula Rivers made a W by the addition of a similar V on the west,
including the city of Danzig. The southeastern third of East Prussia and
the area between East Prussia and the Vistula north of latitude 53
degrees 3 minutes is to have its nationality determined by popular vote,
5,785 square miles, as is to be the case in part of Schleswig, 2,787
square miles.
