Who started the Soviet-Polish war?
Why do you think the WWII started in Poland and not in Czechoslovakia?
Reasonable answers to these questions would show that interwar Poland is not an innocent lamb it tries to portray itself.
Also it would be interesting to research an ‘Intermarium’ concept and how the Polish politicians tried to pursue it in 1930s when Hitler took power.
Churchill called contemporary Poland ‘a prostitute’ and ‘a greedy hyena of Europe’. Why?

Interesting tidbit. Hitler attended a memorial service for Piłsudski, and ordered an honor guard at his grave, when the Germans invaded Poland. It's one of the interesting what-ifs, had Pilsudski survived to 1939.

The Polish–Soviet War (14 February 1919 – 18 October 1920) was fought by the Second Polish Republic, the Ukrainian People's Republic and the proto-Soviet Union (Soviet Russia and Soviet Ukraine) over a region comparable to today's westernmost Ukraineand parts of modern Belarus. Russia sought to cross Poland in order to stimulate a Europe-wide communist revolution.
