...Secret Protocol. The problem of Poland's ethnic Germans dates from 1945, when Silesia, East Brandenburg, Pomerania and East Prussia, the former German provinces east of the Oder and Neisse rivers, were ceded to Poland at the Potsdam Conference.

Two weeks before the river protocol was signed, Radio Moscow attacked Peking for "cutting down relations with socialist countries while broadening contacts with imperialist countries." What apparently bothered Moscow most was the fact that China's trade with its former ideological allies has dropped from almost $3 billion in 1959 to less than $800 million. China...
