The failure of mapmaking and territorialisation of statehood in Polesia and Belarus in 1918

Summary/Abstract: For various reasons, the Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty,signed on March 3rd 1918 between the Central Powers and Soviet Russia, was published without the agreed upon map. This insufficiency may have had dire consequences on the success of an independent Belarusian People’s Republic, which was later overtaken by the establishment of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Belarus in 1919.
