Summary/Abstract: During the interwar period, the common factor of the relations between Romania and Poland was represented by their major interest in countering an unprovoked attack from Soviet Russia – USSR. Meanwhile, the rich medieval tradition, the cultural, political and spiritual interferences provided the basis of the mutual relations between the two countries. Romanian-Polish relations were supported and encouraged by France, which was interested in achieving and maintaining a “cordon sanitaire” against the Bolshevik/Soviet threat. They were influenced by political and diplomatic leaders of the two countries, in Poland, Marshal Józef Pilsudski, and in Romania, King Ferdinand, Queen Mary and Nicolae Iorga. Romania and Poland evolved into a complex and sensitive geopolitical space, that of Central and Eastern Europe, acting politically, diplomatically and military to build relationships based on mutual recognition of borders and support from France and the United Kingdom.
