TY - JOUR TI - Jaworzyna affair, 1919–1923: a French dilemma AU - Soubigou, Alain TI - Jaworzyna affair, 1919–1923: a French dilemma AB - Teschen was a serious problem after WW1 between Poland and Czechoslovakia. However a diplomatic solution was found on rational basis. On the contrary, problem of Spiš and Orava was more controversial although without strategic dimension. The acute knot was a little village at the border, Javořina/Jaworzyna. Why? Because divergence stood between Poland and Czechoslovakia, between president Masaryk and premier Beneš and between French officers on Polish side and French officers on czechoslovakian side. Thanks to his international links, Beneš earned a good border for his country. But the price was very high: for a while, Czechoslovaks and Poles had cold relations. In the 1930’s, Hitler took advantage of these cold relations.
