Book Description
The end of the Great War and the collapse of the empires in East Central Europe paved the way for the establishment of the new successor states to these empires. The transition from empires to nation states also gave rise to a new problem: that of the minorities within these new 'minorities states'. Poland, the largest of these new states, was faced in particular with a population of which one third was not Polish. In order to guarantee the rights of these minorities, the great powers made Poland sign a minorities treaty. The impetus behind the implementation of this minorities treaty with Poland and the monitoring of the situation of the Jews throughout the interwar period was ensured by a number of Jewish associations that conducted 'minorities diplomacy', a diplomacy conducted on behalf of the minorities. The main interlocutors for this diplomacy were the foreign ministries of the great powers, particularly Britain and France, as well as international organisations such as the League of Nations and the international civil society. This minorities diplomacy enjoyed a marked success at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, a success that was repeated in the 1920s. However, the 1930s saw this diplomacy lose its influence, linked to the decline of the League of Nations. Ultimately, minorities diplomacy became obsolete after the international community abandoned the collective rights of minorities in favour of individual rights and population transfers in the aftermath of the Second World War.
