Before 1945 the area was part of Germany. After the war it was discussed by the Western Allies as one possible line of the western Polish border. Attempts were made to negotiate a compromise with the Soviets on the new Polish-German frontier; it was suggested that the Nysa Kłodzka be made the line of demarcation. However the Soviets rejected the suggestion and insisted that the southern boundary between Germany and Poland be drawn at the Lusatian Neisse.
