Following the aftermath of World War I, the Klaipėda Convention played a crucial role in granting Memel, a historically significant territory, to Lithuania. The region of Memel, also known as Klaipėda, had been under French administration since the war's end.
In the convention, Lithuania reached an agreement with the allies present, including France and Great Britain, to regain control of Memel. This decision marked a significant moment for Lithuania's territorial expansion and cultural heritage.
The transfer of Memel to Lithuania had a profound impact on the country's borders and national identity. It united ethnic Lithuanians living in the region with their homeland and strengthened the country's position in the Baltic region.
The Klaipėda Convention's historical agreement with the territory of Memel solidified Lithuania's territorial integrity and provided a sense of unity among its people. The event symbolized a restoration of historical justice and a reclaiming of cultural and historical ties.
