It would seem so, but a lot of countries have had general dislike for another, doesn’t mean too much as far as I know
Yup, there were disputes about land. I’m sure someone will come and explain it in detail.
Miała, w latach 1918-1945. Najbardziej bawi mnie fakt ze Czesi nie mają soli.
There was a war between the two over Cieszyn in 1919
“Czechy nie mają nic soli” xDDD
Słowacja not SlowacYa.. if Russia or Germany is going to make things up, they should learn how to spell properly.
Yes. Also, we betrayed them and annexed part of their land alongside the Germans. If you think the betrayal the U.S., UK, and France did Poland was tragic, think about how the Poles betrayed the Czechs who suffered the same consequences as we did during and after WWII.
Zaolzie, when poland fought with soviets ~1920 the czehs just walked in and took over land known as zaolzie. Poland couldn’t fight them at that time and it become big issue at the time.
Yup, Czechoslovakia claimed Poland was “a seasonal country”, a mere temporary happenstance, not worthy taking any interest in it.
This pre-war propaganda poster is absolutely ridiculous.
Interwar Czechoslovakia, perhaps excluding its eastern region was significantly more advanced, both socially and economically than Poland at the time. By comparison we were an incredibly poor country
While we have produced more steel, salt or oil, we also had widespread analphabetism. Malnutrition was wide-spread (especially in the countryside – yes countryside). In 1919 country was still recovering from WW1 which impacted us slightly more than Czechs.
No to mention the eastern frontier, which largely remained in previous century.
Każdy miał wtedy beef z każdym. Takie czasy
Yeah, it’s called Zaolzie.
Polish hostility toward Czechs soon after WW1 was totally reasonable feeling. They conquered entire region populated mostly by Poles just to get a railroad connecting Czechia and Slovakia. They called us a temporary country. They took adventure over our exhausting defense against bolshevik Russian invasion, they halted all international military and humanitarian aid through their territories just to make us weaker. Only Hungarian help through Romanian border helped us to keep up defending against commies. Basically a nasty stab in back.
Although it was very bad for an international PR, 1938 was basically a legitimate FAFO move.
All the countries emerging in imperial collapse after ww1 had territorial conflicts with their neighbours.
Seems more like just a comparison. In 1919, Czechoslovakia was a new creation, no such country had existed before. There was ill feeling among Poles about how the border was drawn in some districts.
It’s hard to find a neighbor Poland didn’t fight in those first few years of independence. Like most of the other post-WWI states, the initial borders were mostly drawn by other men in other countries. Piłsudski and Paderewski had to prove themselves on the international stage to be taken seriously, and they had a surprisingly strong military, considering everything the region had just been through. Some manual border adjustments were kind of inevitable.
It’s true for every country on this planet. You always have some kind of a beef with neighbouring countries. So yeah, you can always assume Poland had a beef with its neighbour. It was changing over ages, but we aren’t picky and everyone got some love from us. And we did from them.
There’s a great book about mostly slavic inter-war relations called “The Vanquished: Why the First World War Failed to End” by Robert Gerwarth
As a Polish guy myself I can say that we had a beef with everyone. We even have a beef with ourselves, we are that kind of country.
Actually Czechoslovakia was extremely hostile towards Poland (special thanks to britain that was anti polish).
Czechs backstabbed Poland, stole some landand killed POWs
Poland tried to normalise relations even after that backstab, but czechs were against it.
After soviets reestablished poland and czechoslovakia, czechs again tried to take land, but this time Polish army was ready and much stronger, so they chickened out

A back n forward dispute over Cieszyn
Wtedy to chyba tylko z rumunami nie mieliśmy konfliktów
Yeah, we had beef with all of our neighbors Except like Romania
This was about some small territories on the border
Lithuania was about a thicker strip of land including Vilnius (which we owned)
Ussr was imperialistic so pretty much all of the lands with larger amounts of Ukrainians, Byelorussians and probably a few other
Germans with a lot of land, so pretty much the entirety of the border (like lands on one of the sides) was wanted by one of the sides
