  Curzon Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Curzon Line was a demarcation line proposed in 1919 by British Foreign Secretary Lord Curzon of Kedleston as a possible armistice line between Poland to the west and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Russian SFSR) to the east during the Polish-Soviet War of 1919–20.
It is sometimes said that the Curzon Line represented an ethnic border between Roman Catholic Poland to the west and Russian Orthodox Ukraine and Belarus to the east.
The altered Curzon Line thus became the permanent eastern border of Poland and was recognised by the western Allies in July 1945.

 George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston Summary
George Curzon was the epitome of this system, and it was useful to his political and social ambitions before World War I. Afterward, however, he was hurt by his connection with it and by his inconsistent actions that bordered on opportunism in his late drive for government leadership.
Curzon was the principal government spokesman on foreign affairs in the House of Commons.
Curzon was out of politics except as a member of the House of Lords, until he was included in the wartime coalition government formed in May 1915.

 Frontiers - Artificial Frontiers
Sometimes it was a razed or depopulated or devastated tract of country; at others a debatable strip between the territories of rival powers: or, again, a border territory subject to and defended by one party, though exposed to the ravages of the other.
Similar lines have been employed to define the boundaries of Canada and Alaska, to separate many of the Australian Colonies from each other, to determine European Spheres of Influence or Protectorates in Africa, and, quite recently, to define the Russian and Japanese shares of the island of Saghalin.
Such lines are very tempting to diplomatists, who in the happy irresponsibility of their office-chairs think nothing of intersecting rivers, lakes, and mountains, or of severing communities and tribes.
