Polish–Ukrainian War
Fighting between the newly restored Polish state and the West Ukrainian People's Republic over Eastern Galicia, especially around Lwów/Lviv. Poland ultimately took control of the region.

Polish–Soviet War
A major war between Poland and Soviet Russia/Soviet Ukraine. Both sides had expansionist aims: the Soviets wanted to push revolution westward, while parts of the Polish leadership sought a federation extending eastward. Polish forces advanced into Ukraine, including the capture of Kiev in 1920.

Seizure of Vilnius / “Żeligowski’s Mutiny” (1920)
Polish-aligned forces under General Lucjan Żeligowski seized Vilnius and surrounding territory from Lithuania. Poland later incorporated the area, which poisoned Polish–Lithuanian relations for years.

Polish–Czechoslovak War and later border pressure
Conflict over Cieszyn/Teschen Silesia between Poland and Czechoslovakia after World War I.

Annexation of Zaolzie/Teschen region from Czechoslovakia (1938)
After the Munich Agreement weakened Czechoslovakia, Poland issued an ultimatum and annexed the Zaolzie region. This is often criticized as opportunistic cooperation with the dismantling of Czechoslovakia, although Poland was not formally allied with Nazi Germany. This is probably the clearest example of interwar Polish territorial opportunism toward a neighbor.
Repression and “Pacification” campaigns in eastern territories (1920s–1930s)
In areas with large Ukrainian and Belarusian populations, the Polish government carried out crackdowns against nationalist movements, especially in 1930 in Galicia. These included arrests, raids, censorship, and police actions against Ukrainian organizations.
Policies of forced assimilation / discrimination against minorities in the interwar period

The Second Polish Republic had serious tensions with Ukrainians, Belarusians, Jews, Lithuanians, and Germans. Policies included restrictions on minority language rights, settlement policies, and political repression in some regions. Historians debate the severity and intent, but these are frequently cited as hostile state actions.
Participation in Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia
Communist Poland, as part of the Warsaw Pact led by the Soviet Union, sent troops into Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring reforms. This was one of the major external military actions of communist Poland.
Martial law support for Soviet bloc policies (Cold War era)
Communist Poland strongly aligned with Soviet foreign policy, including intelligence cooperation and suppression of dissident movements in the Eastern Bloc.

UN voting alignments with the USSR

During the Cold War, Poland overwhelmingly voted with the Soviet bloc in the UN General Assembly, especially on:

anti-colonial resolutions framed against Western powers
condemnation of Israel after 1967
anti-apartheid resolutions
nuclear disarmament proposals targeting NATO
criticism of US actions in Vietnam
recognition issues involving communist governments

Examples:

Korean War (1950s)

Poland supported Soviet and North Korean positions diplomatically after joining the UN later in 1945-era structures. Poland later participated in the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission but generally echoed Soviet claims that the US was escalating militarily.

Hungary (1956)

Poland opposed Western-backed resolutions strongly condemning Soviet intervention in Hungary or supported Soviet procedural positions intended to weaken such resolutions.

Czechoslovakia (1968)

Poland defended the Warsaw Pact intervention diplomatically and rejected Western condemnations at the UN.

Vietnam War

Poland routinely voted for resolutions criticizing US military actions in Vietnam and aligned with Soviet diplomatic language describing US bombing as “imperialist aggression.”

Typical Polish diplomatic language included phrases like:

“solidarity with the heroic Vietnamese people”

and:

“struggle against imperialism and colonialism”

Middle East / Israel

After the Six-Day War Poland broke relations with Israel alongside the USSR and voted consistently with Soviet-backed Arab positions.

Polish delegates supported resolutions:

condemning Israeli occupation
recognizing Palestinian claims
criticizing US Middle East policy
Afghanistan (1979 onward)

Poland avoided directly condemning the Soviet invasion and aligned diplomatically with Soviet explanations that intervention was requested by the Afghan government.

History repeats and rhymes. They will do it again tomorrow, and they will say to Russians they were the western puppet state and to prove it they will kill you or arm proxies that will act against your country. You might see Indians in Canada armed with Polish weapons firing on you in one decade.

Sasha's clitty is leaking again, go back to int faggot

I agree. We're gonna gladly join the neo-USSR once Ukraine falls, and destroy the west with our brother nation, Russia!

We just fucking LOVED standing in lines for rationed meat and sugar all day, it was truly a time of prosperity we long and are thankful to Russia for. Biggest fans of theirs.

2. Countries armed by communist Poland

Poland itself was a significant arms producer inside the Soviet bloc. Most equipment was Soviet-designed and either:

produced under license in Poland
repaired/upgraded in Poland
exported by Poland

Exact totals are difficult because Warsaw Pact archival data is incomplete, but historians know many of the major exports.
Major recipients included:
Vietnam
Syria
Iraq
Libya
Cuba
Angola
Ethiopia
North Korea
Yemen
Weapons exported or licensed
Tanks
Produced versions of:
T-54
T-55
T-72
Poland produced thousands of T-54/T-55 tanks under license. Hundreds were exported abroad.

APCs and IFVs
OT-64 SKOT
BWP-1
The OT-64 alone was produced in several thousand units, many exported.

Aircraft
Poland exported:

PZL TS-11 Iskra
transport aircraft
helicopters
Small arms

Naval equipment
Poland built:
landing ships
patrol boats
auxiliary naval vessels
for Soviet-bloc and allied countries.

Poles were producing bullets that killed your countrymen, working day and night in three shifts.

Precise export-by-country breakdowns are often disputed because:
Warsaw Pact records remained classified
many transfers were Soviet-controlled
weapons were re-exported through third countries


Border, air, and sea incidents with NATO

There were many Cold War confrontations involving Poland and NATO forces.

Baltic Sea confrontations

The Baltic Sea was heavily militarized.

Incidents included:

NATO and Warsaw Pact ships shadowing each other

5. Military plans against NATO

Declassified Warsaw Pact plans showed that in a hypothetical war:

Polish armies would advance into:
Denmark
northern West Germany
the Netherlands in some scenarios

Poland was preparing to barge into Netherlands.

The best-known Polish plan: “Seven Days to the River Rhine”
One famous declassified exercise from the late 1970s is often called:
Seven Days to the River Rhine
This scenario envisioned:

NATO allegedly striking first with nuclear weapons
a massive Warsaw Pact counteroffensive westward
rapid armored advances through West Germany
In some versions/maps associated with the exercise:
Polish forces move through northern Germany
operations extend toward Denmark and the North Sea region
Dutch territory becomes part of the broader operational theater
The plans expected enormous nuclear destruction across Europe, including:

Hamburg
Bonn
Antwerp
parts of the Low Countries

Some scenarios assumed millions of casualties within days.
Specific Polish operational roles
Polish armies were generally assigned the “northern front.”
That could involve:

advancing along the Baltic coast
securing access routes toward Denmark
attacking NATO naval infrastructure
supporting Soviet operations against northern NATO forces

Some plans envisioned:

amphibious operations in Denmark
airborne assaults
movement toward the Jutland peninsula
pressure extending into the Netherlands if the front advanced far enough

Imagine if what they planned was actually carried out. Looks not unlike Russian incursion into Crimea.

>>534881982
Based thread. Poles are one of many enemies of the white race.

>>534883784
Nowadays academic concensus is changing and concludes that Poland started WWII. With this kind of foreign policy, and unlike Russia, with no resources to offer or working nuclear weapons, I fear the world has no space for Poland on the map, and justifiably so, since it is a matter of time until they restart their anti-western and neighbourly offensives, it happened in the past without an exception.

It would actually be a matter of insanity to try to argue about these facts. It's insane to turn a blind eye to history and to the issue that Poles were drilling to kill your family.
