The first is to explain the nature and historical roots of the problems facing Polish foreign policy in 1938-39 and the manner in which they were approached by the men who shaped and directed Polish diplomacy. The second is to illustrate the political interdependence in these years of Eastern and Western Europe. This interdependence hinged on the German problem. The attitude of France and Britain towards Poland and Eastern Europe as a whole was primarily a reflection of their policy towards Germany; at the same time, this policy was the decisive factor in the individual reactions of Germany's eastern neighbours to the threat of resurgent German power.As far as Poland was concerned, she not only had to strive to avert the danger of German revisionism, the realization of which would have made her a vassal of Berlin, but she also had to consider the possibility of Soviet expansion at her expense. This study is, however, primarily concerned with Polish attempts to obtain security with regard to Germany and, in the period in question, this was the main objective of Polish diplomacy. 410 0$aStudies in political history. 606 $aInternational relations 607 $aPoland$xForeign relations$y1918-1945 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y1918-1945 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a327 700 $aCienciala$b Anna M. $0909222 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148693103321 996 $aPoland and the Western Powers 1938-1938$92033766 997 $aUNINA
