Polska a sprawa rumuńsko sowieckiego paktu o nieagresji w latach 1931-1932 (2)
Poland and the question of the Romanian‑Soviet pact of non‑aggression in the years 1931‑1932 (2)

Summary/Abstract: In April 1932, Marshal Józef Piłsudski attempted to solve the impasse, which marked the Romania‑Soviet Union talks following the negotiations in Riga for the benefit of Poland. However, he never managed to alter the attitude of Romanian politicians, whose reluctance towards the talks was strongly supported by French Prime Minister André Tardieu. Despite the efforts of Polish and French diplomacy, no solution enabling the resumption of negotiations could be found. The appointment of Titulescu as head of the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs eventually blighted the prospect of a pact between Moscow and Bucharest coming into life. In these circumstances, in order to avoid being treated instrumentally by the Romanian Foreign Minister in his pretended efforts towards the conclusion of a pact, the Polish diplomacy distanced itself from further mediation between Romania and the Soviet Union.
