Conference of Ambassadors. An executive body of the Allied Powers in 1920-31 that oversaw
the fulfillment of the peace treaties after the First World War. The conference consisted of the
ambassadors of France, Great Britain, the United States, Italy, Japan, and, later, Belgium, and
was chaired by J. Cambon. On 15 March 1923 the conference approved Poland's annexation
of Galicia with a provision of certain territorial autonomy for the latter. At the same time the
conference recognized the Polish-Soviet border set forth in the Peace Treaty of Riga.
Although Galicia's Ukrainians protested the decision, it remained irreversible. As a result, the
government-in-exile of the Western Ukrainian National Republic was forced to dissolve
itself in Vienna.
