Schleswig Plebiscites Danish German East Prussia plebiscite Eupen-Malmedy Neutral Moresnet Belgian-German border Hultschin area Czechoslovakia Belgium Moresnet League of Nations East Prussia plebiscite
In February and March 1920, the Schleswig Plebiscites were held. The people of Schleswig were presented with only two choices: Danish or German sovereignty. The northern Danish-speaking area voted for Denmark while the southern German-speaking area voted for Germany, resulting in the province being partitioned. The East Prussia plebiscite was held on 11 July 1920. There was a 90% turn out with 99.3% of the population wishing to remain with Germany. Further plebiscites were held in Eupen-Malmedy and Neutral Moresnet. On 20 September 1920, the League of Nations allotted these territories to Belgium. These latter plebiscites were followed by a boundary commission in 1922, followed by the new Belgian-German border being recognized by the German Government on 15 December 1923.
The transfer of the Hultschin area, of Silesia, to Czechoslovakia was completed on 3 February 1921.
