  POLAND - LoveToKnow Article on POLAND
Poland, indeed, was far less able to cope with the Turks than compact, wealthy Hungary, which throughout the 15th century was one of the most efficient military monarchies in Europe.
Poland had established a sort of suzerainty over Moldavia as early as the end of the I4th century; but at best it was a loose and vague overlordship which the Hospodars repudiated whenever they were strong enough to do so.
Poland, as the next neighbor of Hungary, was more seriously affected than any other European power by this catastrophe, but her politicians differed as to the best way of facing it.

 Arthur Bliss Lane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He wrote a book about what he considered to be the betrayal of Poland by the Western Allies, I saw Poland betrayed.
Being in Poland, Lane was so saddened that he resigned and wrote the book which detailed what he considered to be the failure of the United States and Britain to keep their promise that the Poles would have a free election after the war.
The Yalta Conference was the deathblow to Poland's hopes for independence and for a democratic form of government, says Lane.

 Western_betrayal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Western betrayal is a popular term in several Central European nations (including Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia) which refers to the foreign policy of several Western countries during the period from the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 through World War II and to the Cold War.
The French were hampered in their efforts to supply Poland by the refusal of Danzig dockworkers to unload supplies for Poland, by refusal of Czechoslovakia and Germany, both which had border disputes with Poland to allow arms for Poland to cross their frontiers.
Poland's government was not notified of this decision, and the Polish–British talks in London were continued.

Century had left Poland ruined; her population had decreased by a third and the victory at Vienna was the Commonwealth's last military success.

The Treaty of Versailles in 1919 said that the eastern border of Poland would be "subsequently determined." The lands lying between Poland and its eastern neighbours were inhabited by a mixed population of Poles, Lithuanians, Jews, Ukrainians and Belarusians, with no single group being a majority.
That left Poland in legal possession of the territories that Poland had held before the Partitions of Poland in 1772.
The Curzon Line thus became the permanent eastern border of Poland, and was recognised as such by the western Allies in July 1945.

After 1945, most of the Polish population of the area east of the new Soviet-Polish border fled or was expelled to Poland, and the area today is almost entirely Byelorussian (in the north) or Ukrainian (in the south).

It was not surprising that the Dombrowskis were not too well disposed to their natural adversary They were quick to notice that the public prosecutor would volunteer to bring water, to wait in a bread line to collect our rations or to clean the car, but somehow he avoided ever "delivering" coal for our stove.
But he always saw to it that the bucket was full of water and would sweep the car floor or remove the ashes from the stove even when it was not his turn.

 Open Space in Polish Housing Estates: Assessing the Application of Communist Social Engineering within the Urban ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
As Poland moves toward the end of the century with a continuing housing shortage and a housing sector in disarray (Herbst 1994, Regulski 1989), it would be timely to explore her inescapable communist planning legacy in search of solutions for her planning ills.
In addition, even though democratic reformers in Poland tend to be exceptionally critical of the past communist regime, their criticisms may reveal an aspect of open space planning new to many practitioners.
As a result, Poland's urban population soon rose to over 50% of the national population and today it constitutes approximately 61% of the nation's total 36.5 million.

No less an authority than U.S. Ambassador to Poland Arthur Bliss Lane tried to tell fellow Americans that Poland didn't so much fall in 1947 as she was pushed into Communist hands by officials of the U.S. Government.
The predicament of Poland, which was about to default on loans used to purchase American grain, threatened the economic viability of the entire Communist bloc.
And even though the law required the United States officially to declare Poland in default before the loans could be paid, the Reagan Administration ignored the default issue and the U.S. taxpayers were forced to absorb the $1.6 billion debt.

Poland, of course, was not alone in being betrayed.

The author concludes that a genuine appeasement was never really triedthe British were always committed to maintaining the status quo and the traditional policy of not allowing any one Power to attain a predominant position on the continent.
In particular Newman confirms the work of David Hoggan (whose massive and definitive study of the origins of the war, Der Erzwungene Krieg, has not yet been published in English) in pinpointing the role of Lord Halifax as war-instigator, and in recognizing that Hitler's ideal goal was an alliance with Britain.
Incidentally, he reveals the fact that the Japanese government sought peace by early spring of 1945 and that the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was entirely unnecessary to bring a quick victory for the Allies.
