First World War; Treaty of Versailles; Eupen-Malmedy; Belgian-German border space
Abstract :
[en] Eupen-Malmedy is the name given to the two districts that Germany ceded to Belgium in 1920 as a consequence of the Treaty of Versailles. This cession and the semblance of a “referendum”, organised in 1920, turned the territory into a Belgian-German conflict space during the interwar years.
