@misc{Nitschke_Bernadetta_(1964-_)_Problem, author={Nitschke, Bernadetta (1964- )}, howpublished={online}, publisher={Zielona Góra: Lubuskie Towarzystwo Naukowe}, language={pol}, abstract={As a result of the end of WorldWar II, Poland was in the new geopolitical situation which conditioned the shape of state borders, i.e., territorial acquisitions in the West and losses in the East. The paper shows how it influenced Polish-German relations. Both Poland and Germany had to get used to the entirely new arrangement of political forces which was created in Europe. In 1949 two German states were formed. The People`s Republic of Poland (PRL) and Eastern Germany (GDR) found themselves under the influence of USSR. Therefore, it was necessary to regulate the relations between PRL and GDR first.}, abstract={This was reflected in the treaty signed by both countries on July the 6th, 1950 in Zgorzelec. Thereby GDR recognized the shape of the Polish-German state border. Normalization of relations between Poland and Western Germany (FRG) was equally important. Favourable conditions for doing so arose only in the early 1970s. On December the 7th, 1970, PRL and FRG signed a treaty about the normalization of mutual relations.}, abstract={The treaty was an undoubted breakthrough in the relations between the two countries. However, it was still a long way to full stabilization. The year 1989 appeared to be a turning point. Geopolitical image of Europe underwent fundamental transformations. The transformation in Poland started the domino effect, which put on the agenda the issue of German reunification. Poland supported the reunification of Germany and soon signed two treaties with already reunified Germany.}, abstract={The first, signed on November the 14th, 1990, confirmed the existing border between the two countries, and the second, dated on June the 17th, 1991, concerned the regulation of mutual relations. In such a way, only 46 years after the end of World War II, Poland normalized the relations with its western neighbour.}, type={artykuł}, title={Problem uznania granic jako wyznacznik stosunków polsko-niemieckich = The problem of recognition of borders as a determinant of Polish-German relations}, keywords={pogranicze polsko-niemieckie, stosunki polsko-niemieckie, od 1945 r.}, }
