These two
areas with Moresnet were transfered to Belguim in 1920 . Why was Eupen, a
largely German speaking area transferred across? The TREATY OF
VERSAILLES encouraged people to choose the country to which they
wished to be attached eg Northern Schleswig went to Denmark, Southern Schleswig
stayed in Germany. Can anyone answer this
.
