Sforza line

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Division of Upper Silesia in 1922:
yellow-green = fallen to Poland,
orange = remained with Germany at the time

The so-called Sforza Line was an implemented proposal to draw a border when Upper Silesia was divided in 1921. The line of division goes back to the Italian ambassador in Paris, Carlo Sforza , who was close to the interests of the French side. He advanced this line on October 20, 1921, at the ambassadors conference in Paris.
