[edit]

Where is this term actually used? --Wetman 08:05, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Interbellum history, particularly with regard to the affected countries. --Johan Magnus 08:31, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Czechoslovakia?

[edit]

I've removed Czechoslovakia from the list for following reasons:

  • Czechoslovakia won independence from Austria-hungary, not Russia.
  • I've never seen this term in connection with Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia had no border with Russia (only with Ukraine) and wasn't directly threatened by World Revolution.
  • Czechoslovakia was created as a buffer state, but Germany was the main threat.
  • Main allies of Czechoslovakia in 20s was (in central and eastern europe) Romania and Serbia (which is missing in this list).

Requested move

– In English, the term "border states" most often refers to the slave statse that remained in the Union during the American Civil War and not to the states of the post-WWI cordon sanitaire. Several Google Book searches back this up, but you can try for yourself (compare /"border states" + missouri/ with /"border states" + poland/, or /"border states" + "civil war"/ with /"border states" + "soviet union"/). The size and referencing of our article is also evidence in itself. Srnec (talk) 01:03, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal

[edit]

Pursuant the developing consensus, I propose to the closer that we move this page to the proposed title, move the disambiguation page here, and then perhaps file a later move request for the U.S. civil war article to Border States. But that can be dealt with later. Consensus is pretty clear here for at least the one! Red Slash 05:03, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
