This book examines the history of Belgium's annexation of the
former German territories of Eupen and Malmedy during the interwar
period. Focusing on Herman Baltia's transitory regime and Belgium's
ambivalence about the fate of its new territories, the book charts
the strained relations between Baltia's regime and Brussels, the
regime's path to dissolution, and the failed retrocession of the
territory to Germany. Through close analysis of primary source
material, Vincent O'Connell investigates the efforts of Baltia's
provisional government to assimilate the region's inhabitants into
Belgium. The ultimate failure of that assimilation, he argues, may
be traced back not only to incessant pro-German agitation, but to
flawed Belgian policy from the outset. Framed in the context of a
post-Versailles Europe, the book offers an interesting case study
not only of the ebbs and flows of international politics across the
frontier zones of Europe in the interwar years, but of how
populations react to changes in national sovereignty.
