Međumorje

Međumorje (polj. Międzymorze) je bio projekt kojeg je nakon prvog svjetskog rata promicao Józef Piłsudski, kao federaciju srednjoeuropskih i istočnoeuropskih zemalja koje bi predvodila Poljska ^{[1][2][3][4][5]}. U ovu zajednicu se bilo pozvalo baltičke države (Litvu, Latviju i Estonsku), Finsku, Bjelorusiju, Ukrajinu, Slovačku, Mađarsku, Rumunjsku, Kraljevinu SHS i češke zemlje.

Karta jedne od predloženih verzija Međumorske federacije. Svjetlozelena pokaziva ukrajinske i bjeloruske teritorije pod nadzorom SSSR-a.

Predložena federacija je trebala oponašati Poljsku-Litvu, koja je sezala od Baltičkog do Crnog mora u razdoblju od kraja 16. do kraja 18. stoljeća, inače nastalu ujedinjenjem Kraljevine Poljske i Velike Vojvodine Litve

Neki Litvanci su smatrali ovaj projekt prijetnju njihovoj netom uspostavljenoj neovisnosti, a neki Ukrajinci kao prijetnju njihovim težnjama za osamostaljenjem ^[6][7][8], a suprotstavljala se Rusija i većina zapadnih država osim Francuske.^[9][10]

Međumorje je dopunjavalo ine ambiciozne geopolitičke vizije maršala Piłsudskog - prometejizam, čiji je cilj bio ni više ni manje nego komadanje Ruskog Carstva i oduzimanje odnosno poništavanje svih teritorijalnih osvajanja tog carstva.^{[11][12][13][14]}.

Unutar dva desetljeća od propasti velikog Piłsudskovog projekta, sve države koje je smatrao kandidatima za članstvom u Međumorskoj federaciji su bile okupirane od strane SSSR-a i/ili Trećeg Reicha.

7. >"The essence of [Józef Piłsudski's "federalist" program] was that after the overthrow of tsardom and the disintegration of the Russian empire, a large, strong and mighty Poland was to be created in Eastern Europe. It would be the reincarnation of the Rzeczpospolita on "federative" principles. It was to include the Polish, Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian lands. The leading role, of course, was to be given to the Polish ethnic, political, economic and cultural element. […] As such two influential and popular political doctrines with regard to Ukraine — the "incorporationist" and the "federalist" — even before the creation of Polish statehood, were based on ignoring the right of the Ukrainian people to self-determination and put forward claims to rule over the Ukrainian territories…"

13. "Pilsudski hoped to build not merely a Polish nation state but a greater federation of peoples under the aegis of Poland which would replace Russia as the great power of Eastern Europe. Lithuania, Belorussia and Ukraine were all to be included. His plan called for a truncated and vastly reduced Russia, a plan which excluded negotiations prior to military victory."

14. "Pilsudski's program for a federation of independent states centered on Poland; in opposing the imperial power of both Russia and Germany it was in many ways a throwback to the romantic Mazzinian nationalism of Young Poland in the early nineteenth century."
