Peace of Riga of 18 March 1921
The
Peace of Riga
, also known as the
Treaty of Riga
(
Polish
:
Traktat Ryski
), was signed in
Riga
on 18 March 1921, between
Poland
,
Soviet Russia
(acting also on behalf of
Soviet Belarus
) and
Soviet Ukraine
. The treaty ended the
Polish–Soviet War
.
The Soviet-Polish borders established by the treaty remained in force until the
Second World War
. They were later redrawn during the
Yalta Conference
and
Potsdam Conference
.
World War I
removed former imperial borders across Europe. In 1918, after the Russian Revolution had renounced Tsarist claims to Poland in the
Treaty of Brest-Litovsk
and the war had ended with Germany's surrender, Poland was able to re-establish its independence after
a century of foreign rule
.
The Russian Civil War presented an opportunity for Poland under the leadership of
Józef Piłsudski
to regain parts of the tsarist territories of the former
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
which had been incorporated into the Russian Empire during the
Partitions of Poland
.
