Koncepcja federacyjna polskiego rządu jako forma nowego ładu pokojowego w Europie (1939–1945)
The federation concept of the Polish government as a form of a new peace order in Europe (1939–1945)

Summary/Abstract: During World War II, Poland put forward the concept of the integration of Central Europe in cooperation with Czechoslovakia. The Polish tradition of freedom and peaceful union with its neighbors was an alternative to Germany and the Soviet Union uniting Central Europe through violence. The Polish plan of peaceful and voluntary integration of Central European states was to have secured their security and develop¬ment, as well as regional solidarity and independence from hostile and allied pow¬ers. Regular meetings of the Polish government-in-exile in London with eight emigre governments of the occupied countries were expected to lead to the establishment of subregional associations of states. They were to have become one of the pillars of peace and security in Europe alongside European powers. However, opposition from the USSR thwarted the implementation of the Polish plans.
