Domestic, regional and international aspects of Polish statehood during World War II
The article examines the problems of Polish statehood during the Second World War. The determinants and stages of the evolution of internal changes of the Polish state are traced. The influence of the situation in Poland on the political situation in the region and on international relations in general is shown. The concept of the "Polish question" is concretized for this chronological period. Conclusions are drawn that, despite the occupation, Poland was an active subject of international relations and retained partial control over its own territory. The Polish establishment in its strategy was guided by outdated foreign p olicy patterns, not taking into account new realities and using in its tactics the confrontational concept of "two enemies" - Germany and the USSR, which determined not only domestic political, but also regional strategic models.
