Europe After the Paris Peace Conference — National Geographic Wall Map (1921)

A continent redrawn in the wake of war. Published in February 1921, this authoritative wall map—Europe Showing the Countries Established by the Peace Conference of Paris—captures the profound political reordering that followed World War I. It delineates new national boundaries, shows borders as they existed before the war, and identifies international territories and areas subject to plebiscite. Issued alongside three Europe-focused articles, including “Czechoslovakia, Key-Land to Central Europe,” it’s a compelling visual record of a pivotal historical moment—made to command a wall and reward close study.

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding post-war Europe at a glance. Clean symbology distinguishes new states, revised borders, and contested regions, placing diplomacy and geography in immediate conversation. Ideal for historians, educators, designers, travelers, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with other National Geographic sheets charting Europe’s 20th-century transformations.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
