	Curzon Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Curzon Line was a demarcation line proposed in 1919 by the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Curzon of Kedleston, as a possible armistice line between Poland, to the west, and Soviet Russia to the east, during the Polish-Soviet War of 1919–20.
		Curzon line was similar to the border between the Soviet Union and the Nazi Germany agreed secretly in the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact.
		Lord Curzon of Kedleston, on behalf of the Allies, suggested a line running from Grodno through Brest-Litovsk to Lwow, although leaving unclear which side of the proposed border Lwow would be on.

		Lord Curzon had a practical side in political judgments on his own ground which was more marked than in the organisation of his personal life and affairs.
		Lord Curzon was difficult in money matters because he appeared to think that society owed him not merely a living but an existence of singular magnificence.

		The prologue concludes with Curzon's wife, Grace, saying that her husband's "health has always been at the mercy of his emotions," and the author comments that "he was defeated by the punitive anarchy of his uncontrollable will" (11-12).
		Her account of Curzon's failures and successes is useful, and one is particularly moved by Curzon's veneration of the Taj Mahal and his work in preserving it and other historic buildings.
		Nevertheless, the value of the study in evaluating Lord Curzon or in assessing his contribution to British rule in India is restricted by the suggestive nature of Goradia's conclusions.

		Curzon's address on the Ancient Monuments Bill to the Legislative Council in Calcutta suggested that it was the duty of the imperial government to restore all "the great remains or groups of remains with which this country is studded from one end to the other" (cited in Raleigh 1906:198).
		Curzon, for instance, was incensed at the refusal of a temple committee to admit non-Hindus, including the viceroy, into a temple enclosure at Bhubaneswar.

		Curzon's old-fashioned sense of grandeur had not permitted that newfangled contraption, the telephone, to be installed in his home, and as luck would have it, the telegram delivery boy was on holiday.
		Quick as Curzon's mind was, however, he was slow to take in Stamfordham's delicate message that he had been passed over, and someone else, a lesser politician Curzon considered a nonentity, junior to him in service and inferior to him in abilities, had been selected.

		Curzon was an ambitious personality for whom there was rarely any middle ground.
		George Nathaniel Curzon, first Marquis Curzon of Kedleston was, perhaps, the most important British statesman of the modern era not to become prime minister.
		A statesman, historian, and traveler, Curzon was seen as a political figure who achieved "successes rather than success." After achieving distinctions at Eton and Oxford, Curzon became private secretary to the new prime minister Lord Salisbury in 1885.

		On 26 October 1920, the representative of the High Commissioner telegraphed Foreign Secretary Lord Curzon to inform him of the deteriorating conditions in the Egyptian countryside due to the drop in the prices of cotton and the rise in the cost of land rents.
		Twenty days later, Curzon dispatched a reply to High Commissioner Lord Allenby, instructing him to make a tour of the provincial directorates where he should announce that he intended to advise the Egyptian government to set rents for land under cotton cultivation, as the government had already done with house rents.
		Lord Curzon found Allenby's arguments convincing and wrote back instructing the High Commissioner to do what he could to curb the deterioration of conditions in the countryside.

		Coupled with his exalted view of himself, Lord Curzon has an energy, industry, and capacity that are probably unrivalled.
		No estimate of Lord Curzon would be complete which omitted the fact that he has fought his battle with the handicap of physical weakness.

		Lord Salisbury's was the first step: this was the second: and if at any time there is a third, its approximate character can be foreseen.

		He questioned the support of a unified Moslem bloc under King Hussein and thought British interests were better served in letting the conflict in Hejaz resolve without British intervention.
		Curzon also thought the Foreign Office had failed to pursue assurances from the French and Italian governments establishing British dominance despite having conceded large portions of the Middle East to those powers.
