Eastern Europe and the Origins of the Second World War

The Making of the Twentieth Century

by Anita J. Prażmowska

Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania and the Baltic States have been treated in the past as victims, powerless in the face of Nazi aggression. The author of this study disagrees with this approach and suggests an alternative view, namely that of states which had to grapple with complex economic, political and military dilemmas. Amongst those, British and French indifference was seen as nearly as dangerous as German, Italian and Soviet interference in the region.
