Poland has always had to fight to even exist, which gives then a bit of a different viewpoint on things.
Being on “The Highway of Europe”, smack in the middle of East-West, they have had to be at war more than they have been at peace, for over a thousand years.
After WW1, they had to fight the short Polish-German War, the incredibly bloody Polish Civil Wars, and the Polish-Soviet War to secure Independence.
The violent coups of the 20’s, and the short war against the Czechs in 1938 did nothing to help them prepare for what was coming in WW2.
Then the Soviet repressions of the 40’s-50’s, etc.
It can easily be said that, excluding the Fall of the Soviet Union period, that Poland has been in it’s most peaceful 50 years of it’s existence.
“and the short war against the Czechs in 1938”
Nazis :)))))
