It maps a defeated people's grievance. Its compiler, the statistician Wilhelm Winkler, had advised Austria's delegation at the Saint-Germain peace talks. He floods every German-speaking district, from Alsace and South Tyrol to the Baltic, in unbroken red, then slices it with white bands along the new treaty borders. Under the headline \"German right of self-determination!\", it throws the Allies' own principle back at the peacemakers, protesting that Versailles and Saint-Germain had divided the German people among twelve states and denied more than fifteen million of them union with the motherland. Within two decades Hitler turned these grievances into annexation and war: Austria in March 1938, the Sudetenland after Munich, then Danzig and the Polish Corridor, the ostensible casus belli for invading Poland, and so the Second World War. This large folding sheet, about 84 × 114 cm, is the second edition, in its worn original wrapper.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54181505401179,"sku":"P-6-112368","price":320.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112368a.jpg?v=1790272626"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/sprachenkarte-von-mitteleuropa.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
