“Propaganda is much more difficult in countries with older and higher cultures.[…] England is particularly difficult terrain”: Poland’s public relations in Great Britain and the United States, 1918–1939

In this chapter, the author focuses on some specified issues connected with the problem of Poland’s Public Relations in Great Britain and the United States, 1918–1939. He is mostly interested in the picture of Poland in the Anglosphere as well as the problem how both dominant countries of the sphere were perceived in the interwar Second Polish Republic. The image was highly influenced mainly by German propaganda as well as the activities of those ethnicities (mainly Jewish and Ukrainians) that were strongly dissatisfied with the policy of various Polish governments of the epoch and described as strongly unfriendly. Therefore, within the scope of the author’s interest are also some chosen attempts to improve the image of Poland in the Anglosphere made both by the official representatives of Poland as well as pro-Polish individuals and cultural institutions.
