Status and Prospects for the Research on Polish Opposition Parties and Groupings, and their Attitude Towards Policies of Polish Authorities, in Connection with the Situa-tion before and During the Polish September Campaign of 1939

Under the influence of the changing international situation in the 1930s and the resulting threat to Poland from Germany, the legal opposition demanded the establishment of a government of national salvation. The main goal of organization was to develop a uniform internal and foreign policy and to increase efforts for the defense of the state at the expense of additional burdens on the society of the Second Polish Republic. However, the anti-sanction opposition was unable to develop a common political ground towards the sanation of the Country – “Sanacja”, to force it to comprom on important matters of the state before the outbreak of World War II.
