Territorial changes of Poland immediately after World War II

The Oder–Neisse line
Poland's old and new borders, 1945

At the end of World War II, Poland underwent major changes to the location of its international border. In 1945, after the defeat of Nazi Germany, the Oder–Neisse line became its western border,[1] resulting in gaining the Recovered Territories from Germany. The Curzon Line became its eastern border, resulting in the loss of the Eastern Borderlands to the Soviet Union.[2]
