Paul Calle (American, 1928 - 2010) and Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Europe Fragments in Wake of Great War" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 60? Europe Fragments in Wake of the Great War stamp issued October 15, 1997.
When World War I ended on November 11, 1918, old empires crumbled, lands and territorial boundaries changed dramatically, and new nations were born. Poland's territory increased with lands from Austria, Germany and Russia. Romania doubled in size, while newly independent nations -- Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania -- broke away from Russia. In 1919, despite a Communist uprising, a new German republic was established at Weimar, while the Treaty of Saint Germain obliged Austria to recognize the independence of Poland, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. In addition to geographical changes, World War I also created significant philosophical, political, economic and cultural change in Europe during the 20th century.
