Dyplomacja wojskowa II Rzeczypospolitej w okresie kształtowania się państwa polskiego w latach 1919–1921
Polish military diplomacy at the time of shaping the Second Republic (1919–1921)

Summary/Abstract: Restoration of Polish independence in November 1918 allowed the initiation of the process of reconstructing state structures. For the reborn state, the restitution of its proper place on the international arena required falling back on multifaceted measures of both political and military nature. The directions of these actions resulted from the current situation in the international milieu, which was primarily analysed from the angle of ensuring security for Poland, both in external and internal aspect. While formulating the assumptions for Polish foreign and military policy, taken primarily into account were the country’s geopolitical situation, its economic and military condition, and also the forecasted developments in the states posing potential threat of war. Improvement of security, especially in the external dimension, was envisaged first and foremost in concluding political and military alliances by the state. Of extremely important role here was diplomacy and military intelligence, which provided continuous inflow of information that greatly facilitated the decision-making process.
