Wielka Brytania wobec bezpieczeństwa militarnego Polski i państw bałtyckich w XX i XXI wieku
The United Kingdom Towards the Military Security of Poland and the Baltic States in the 20th and 21st Centuries

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyze and assess the attitude of the United Kingdom towards the military security of Poland and the Baltic States in the 20th and 21st centuries. The first part of the paper discusses the involvement of Great Britain in ensuring the military security of Poland and the Baltic States in the 20th century, including, in particular, their preservation of independence. The second part of the paper presents the activities of the British to strengthen the military security of these countries in the 21st century, especially in the context of the crisis in Ukraine and the military threat from Russia. The main research question is whether Great Britain's activities to ensure the military security of Poland and the Baltic States in the 20th and 21st centuries were significant and effective in achieving this goal? The main thesis of the paper is that the UK activities in the 20th century to support the military security of Poland and the Baltic States were insignificant and only partially effective. Nowadays, however, the United Kingdom is one of the NATO countries that have been most involved in strengthening the military security of the Alliance's eastern flank countries. The British security policy is primarily conditioned by a pragmatic approach typical of the theory of realism. The method of text source analysis was used in the paper. It is necessary to conduct further research, especially regarding the current activity of Great Britain to ensure the military security of Poland and the Baltic States.
