Excerpt from Boundaries in Europe and the Near East
This book contains a series of lectures delivered to the teachers of the London County Council during the winter, some of which have already appeared as articles in popular magazines. It is therefore but an attempt to explain in the simplest possible language those geographical relations which exist between certain states in Europe and the Near East which may affect complicated questions of reconstruction hereafter. There is probably not a nationality between Central Europe and Persia which will occupy exactly the same space after the War as it did before. Each, individually, hopes for extension or readjustment of territory; new boundaries will have to be demarcated, and great international obligations and agreements will arise. Accepting, then, what is known of the national aspirations and future prospects of each state, I have endeavoured to show how far such aspirations are justified from the geographical point of view by the effect of a change in their present environment, and what future territorial readjustment may be effective in the interests of security and peace.
