Defeat in Victory Britain Reverses Poles Policy
Jan Ciechanowski, former Polish ambassador to the United States, discusses Britain's shift in approach to Poland during 1944. Churchill, Eden, and Cadogan press Mikolajczyk and Romer toward accepting Curzon line terms and eastern frontier concessions to the Soviet Union, with the White House signaling flexible nonrecognition policies and a push for amicable settlements. The piece tracks covert and public pressure leading to a dramatic policy reversal and strained U.S. support dynamics.
