This map of Europe was published at the end of World War I by the Commercial Credit Company in Baltimore, Maryland. It prominently shows the continent's new political boundaries in red overprinting as a result of the fall of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires. There were a total of 13 boundary changes including the creation of Finland, Poland, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia. Above the map is Woodrow Wilson's 14-point program for peace negotiations, most notably the creation of the League of Nations (#14). Blank verso.
