The Policy of Poland Reborn in the Intermarium Europe
Three Concepts (1919–1938)
Abstract
The article is devoted to the conceptions of Poland’s regional policy in the interwar Europe between Germany and bolshevik Russia/USSR. The first idea was based on the assumption that liberated states of Ukraine, Lithuania and Belarus could play a role of allies in the European East. In 1921 the anti-Soviet alliance with Roumania was achieved. Polish diplomacy calculated on the possibility of a „triangle” (Poland + Romania + Hungary) and to organize a Baltic Bloc (Poland, Latvia, Estonia and Finland). In the years 1937–1938 the Government in Warsaw projected to compose a broad geopolitical system of „Intermarium”, including the states between Germany and USSR and between Baltic and Adriatic Sea. All three attempts failed.
