Planificarea postbelică britanică pentru o nouă Europă Central-Răsăriteană (1940-1945)
The postwar planning of Great Britain for a new Central and Eastern Europe (1940-1945)

Summary/Abstract: The territorial issues of Central and Eastern Europe were at the heart of the tripartite negotiations. British diplomacy was deeply involved in planning the new postwar borders of Central and Eastern Europe. The Foreign Office favored the territorial reorganization of this space through the establishment of confederated countries. But the British plans were blocked by the opposition of the Soviet Union. The strategic and security interests of the Soviet Union were incompatible with the existence of a federation in Central and Eastern Europe. The advance of Soviet armies in Central and Eastern Europe forced British diplomacy to give up the federal project and to concentrate on finding a compromise formula destined to limit the Soviet presence in Great Britain’s sphere of interest. At the end of the war, the territorial changes to the map of Central and Eastern Europe were determined only by the strategic objectives of the Soviet Union.
