This article deals with the complicated & multifaceted topic of Polish politics between the two world wars. This time period was characterized not only by a "classical" political instability but, much more importantly, also by the instability of the whole political system. The democratic regime created in 1919 was weak & was abolished by force in 1926. The subsequent political system was authoritarian (but not totalitarian) & survived until the end of the Polish state in October 1939, when Poland was attacked & occupied by the German & Soviet armies. The questions posed by the article are manifold. Why did Poland introduce democracy in the hardship years of 1918-1919, but did so for only a few years? Why was not democracy successful? Why did Poland accept authoritarianism & what were the political & constitutional consequences of that step? 31 References. Adapted from the source document.

Der Verfasser erläutert ausführlich den geschichtlichen Hintergrund, der es den Briten nach wie vor schwer macht, sich von den Vorstellungen einer außergewöhnlichen Stellung ihres Landes zu trennen. Das Imperium, das nicht mehr existiert, und das Commonwealth, das nur ein Schatten von sich selbst ist, entfernen England von Europa ebenso wie die Illusion fortgesetzter "besonderer Beziehungen" mit den USA. Großbritanien verlor sein Imperium, fand aber noch nicht seine neue Rolle. Diese liege in der Zuwendung zu Europa. Im strategischen Dreieck mit Paris und Bonn könne England vieles, allein auf sich gestellt jedoch nur wenig erreichen. Andererseits gelte es aber auch, daß Europa ohne England nur noch ein kleines Kap eines großen euroasiatischen Kontinents darstellen würde. (BIOst-Hrs)
