  • Source: "one of the last acts of the Tsarist government was to agree with the French (11 March 1917) that, in return for recognising their claims to Alsace-Lorraine and the right to fix the eastern frontier, Russia received the right to determine her own western limits, that is, to include as much of Poland as she could reconquer, Fortunately this bargain did not survive the revolution of March 1917" from: Reddaway, W.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: I'm not sure I can support ALT1 because this seems like it could be a POV interpretation. The designation of territories as "Poland", "Russia", etc. was a key controversy in boundary disputes. I think the original hook is best. (t · c) buidhe 00:06, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
