The temptation to explain Poland's failures in the international arena by its geopolitical location is strong and largely justified. It is hard to imagine a more unfortunate configuration than the one in which we found ourselves in the center of Europe, between Germany and Russia. An analysis of the history of Polish geopolitics allows us to understand the difficulties we had to face. It is an extremely interesting lesson about the factors that determine triumphs and failures in geopolitical struggles.

The geopolitical location is not chosen, but it can be shaped. Poles have dealt with it in different ways. The turbulent history of Poland is therefore an extremely interesting lesson about the factors that determine triumphs or failures in geopolitical struggles. It also says a lot about our national character and the specificity of Polish politics. That is why it is worth analyzing them, looking for inspiration to cope with the challenges we still face.
