Summary

Awaiting the Decision from Paris, 01/19/1919 Original Caption: As heads of state and political leaders of the victorious Allied powers prepared to meet in Paris to discuss terms of a peace settlement, many countries or ethnic groups within a country also gathered in Paris to promote their claims for self-determination. With all of the demands for independence, it was clear that political decisions would soon lead to revisions of many pre-war boundaries. Cartoonist Clifford Berryman shows two elderly, pipe-smoking, white haired men with their globes and map-making tools ready to redraw the boundaries of countries throughout the European continent once political decisions were made by the conference delegates.
