The National Camp Towards the Foreign and Defense Policy of the Authorities of the Second Polish Republic in 1938-1939

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the position of the national camp (National Party, National Radical Camp ABC, National Radical Movement Falanga) towards the foreign and defense policy of the Second Polish Republic during the rule of the Sanation in the second half of the 1930s. In the 1930s, the national camp wanted to remove the Sanation from power and create a national-Catholic Poland. The isolation of national minorities from influence on the state, the nationalization of the economy and army, and the militarization of the nation were necessary to balance the power of the enemies of Poland – Germany and the USSR. Polish security would be strengthened by the union of states in the Adriatic-Baltic-Black Sea area and cooperation with national-Catholic states in Europe. The alliance of Italy and Hungary with Germany forced the national camp to ally with the democratic powers against the fascist states. After the outbreak of World War II, the national camp planned to regain the lands belonging to the Piast and Jagiellon dynasty.
