- Abstract
The article discusses a diplomatic border conflict between the Polish People's Republic and the German Democratic Republic (GDR), or East Germany, regarding the Baltic Sea's Pomeranian Bay in the 1980s. The author analyzes the dispute in the context of the broader relations between East Germany, Poland, and the Soviet Union, three important socialist bloc countries, in the 1980s. After tracing the origins of the disputer to the Potsdam Conference, in which leaders of the main Allied Powers discussed the conclusion of World War II, the author goes on to examine such topics as East German self-determination and state development, East German sea patrols, and Polish use of the port at Szczecin, Poland.
