Role and political activities of the Polish Republic in structures of the Warsaw Pact

Summary/Abstract: After the Second War, the Great Powers decided that Poland would be in the zone of influ-ence of the Soviet Union, and will create, togetherwith other European countries, post-war inter-national order. The international situation has developed in such way (creation of NATO, German remilitarization and their memebership in Western economic and politico-military structures), that Poland and other socialist countries formed the Warsaw Pact, which was dominated by the Soviet Union – taking into account the military contribution and deciding. The Pact has become for Po-land unique and stable security system, which protected its sovereignty and inviolability of bor-ders, contested mainly by the German neighbor. That’s why Poland supported all initiatives of the Political Consultative Committee, concerning an official obligation to the peaceful settlement of disputes, arms control (especially nuclear) or respect inviolability of borders and territorial integ-rity of states. Soviet Union tried to keep the existing post-war balance, in order to continue control their sphere of influence and Poland couldn’t affordto verify its western border on the Oder and Neisse and development of armed conflict on its territory.
