Abstract: [eng] The borders of Europe. . What really means the word "borders" in European inter war period ? Barriers, meta-frontiers, insuperable divisions between pieces of Europe. Borders divided not only Nation-States, authoritative regimes and democratic ones, but above all were becoming the pretext for aggressions, for the building of a New Europe : the Nazi's Lebensraum. Borders were becoming front lines. After the Second World War new borders will be laid out in a more pacific spirit. However Europe has to wait until 1989 to find again her real borders. [fre] Que signifie vraiment le mot « frontières » durant l'entre-deux guerres en Europe ? Barrières, méta-frontières, divisions insurmontables entre des fragments d'Europe. Les frontières divisaient alors non seulement des États-nations, des régimes autoritaires de ceux démocratiques, mais surtout elles devenaient le prétexte d'aggressions, de la construction d'une Nouvelle Europe : le Lebensraum des Nazis. Les frontières devenaient des fronts. Après la seconde guerre mondiale de nouvelles frontières seront tracées dans un esprit plus pacifique. Cependant, l'Europe doit attendre jusqu'en 1989 pour retrouver ses vraies frontières.
