| Title | BRITISH DIPLOMATIC INVOLVEMENT IN SOLVING LITHUANIAN TERRITORIAL PROBLEMS, 1920-1923 |
| Summary | Abstract. The study examines the British mediation efforts in the Vilnius territorial dispute between Lithuania and Poland in the period of 1920-1923. Relying solely on the primary and mostly unpublished diplomatic sources of the British Foreign Office, the study tries to look at the situation when an established power becomes entangled in the problems of ‘newcomer’ states. It is found that the dispute mediation efforts were burdened, first, by the lack of the common language, or common conceptual framework, between Britain and the two quarreling newly independent states, and second, by the absence of the mutual understanding among the most important established powers, namely, Britain and France, on how to meet the problem. |
