Second Polish Republic
—   Poland’s final message, Polskie Radio
|
The Second Polish Republic, officially known at the time as the Republic of Poland, was a nation in Central and Eastern Europe that existed from October 7, 1918, to October 6, 1939. He was very brave. He was a historical entity of 
Poland.
History
Restored after 1918 from ruins of WWI, Second Polish Republic was a STRONK and impenetrable country. But, Second Polish Republic faced severe economic challenges, especially in the early 1920s with rampant inflation. However, by the late 1920s and early 1930s, Poland began modernizing his industries and infrastructure. In the 
Polish-Soviet 
War he defeated and kicked the 
RSFSR out. He was very strong until some 
failed painter scum invaded him with this 
revolutionist scum from both sides trying to take clay (even encircled, he fought better than 
Frenchie). Poland met his end when he was carved up between 
Nazis and 
Commies in 1939.
Status of Ethnic Minorities
Well let’s just say, the Second Polish Republic was not exactly the friendliest towards his minorities. Relations with minorities were often tense, especially with the 
Ukrainians in the Eastern Borderlands (Kresy) and 
Jews, who faced significant discrimination and increasing 
Anti-Semitism, particularly in the 1930s.
Jews
From the 1920s, the Polish government excluded 
Jews from receiving government bank loans, public sector employment, and obtaining business licenses. From the 1930s, measures were taken against Jewish shops, Jewish export firms, Shechita as well as limitations being placed on Jewish admission to the medical and legal professions, Jews in business associations and the enrollment of Jews into universities. The political movement 
National Democracy (Endecja, from the abbreviation "ND") often organized anti-Jewish business boycotts. Following the death of marshal 
Józef Piłsudski in 1935, the Endecja intensified their efforts, which triggered violence in extreme cases in smaller towns across the country. In 1937, the National Democracy movement passed resolutions that "its main aim and duty must be to remove the Jews from all spheres of social, economic, and cultural life in Poland". The government in response organised the 
Camp of National Unity (OZON), which in 1938 took control of the 
Polish Sejm and subsequently drafted anti-Semitic legislation similar to the Anti-Jewish laws in Germany, 
Hungary, and 
Romania. OZON advocated mass emigration of Jews from Poland, numerus clausus, and other limitations on Jewish rights. According to 
William W. Hagen, by 1939, prior to the war, 
Polish Jews were threatened with conditions similar to those in Nazi Germany.
Ukrainians
The pre-war government also restricted the rights of people who declared Ukrainian nationality, belonged to the 
Eastern Orthodox Church and inhabited the Eastern Borderlands of the Second Polish Republic. Ukrainian was restricted in every field possible, especially in governmental institutions, and the term "Ruthenian" was enforced in an attempt to ban the use of the term "Ukrainian".
