The Moscow Peace Treaty was signed on March 16, 1921, between the Soviet Russia and the Polish-Soviet War belligerents. This agreement aimed to end hostilities and establish borders between the two nations. It recognized the independence of the Ukrainian and Belarusian territories, which were previously contested. The treaty also marked a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe. It allowed the Soviet Union to focus on internal consolidation while granting Poland control over large parts of the disputed territories. This agreement laid the groundwork for future relations between the two countries.
