November 1938 · 21 November 1939 The border moves twice in a yearHranica sa za rok posunie dvakrát

After the Munich agreement broke Czechoslovakia apart, Poland annexed 226 square kilometres of northern Slovak territory with about 4,280 inhabitants, between 24 and 30 November 1938. Less than a year later the direction reversed: Slovakia had joined Germany's attack on Poland in September 1939, and on 21 November 1939 it was awarded 770 square kilometres with 34,509 inhabitants, which included both the 1938 strip and the villages lost in 1920. On 20 May 1945 the 1920 line was restored. Three border changes in seven years, none of them made by the people who lived on either side of it, and the second one bought with a share in the invasion of a neighbour.Po tom, čo mníchovská dohoda rozbila Československo, zabralo Poľsko medzi 24. a 30. novembrom 1938 na severe Slovenska 226 štvorcových kilometrov s približne 4 280 obyvateľmi. Necelý rok nato sa smer obrátil: Slovensko sa v septembri 1939 pripojilo k nemeckému útoku na Poľsko a 21. novembra 1939 získalo 770 štvorcových kilometrov s 34 509 obyvateľmi — teda pás z roku 1938 aj obce stratené roku 1920. Dvadsiateho mája 1945 sa obnovila hranica z roku 1920. Tri zmeny hraníc za sedem rokov, ani jednu neurobili ľudia, ktorí na nich žili, a tú druhú zaplatila účasť na prepadnutí suseda.
