Summary/Abstract: The international situation in Europe after the First Wolrd War was characterized by completely new relations. Part of a new complex configuration of forces was the German-French-Polish arrangement. The article presents the grounds for the position of each country in relation to the other two, as well as the process of shaping the relations between them at the beginning of the interwar period. The close relations of Poland and France agreed with the logics of the Versailles system directed against Germany. Although there were some discrepancies between the two countries, the cooperation prevailed until the turn which happened in the German and French policies in the years 1924–1925.
