Summary: Finland and the Baltic countries, like the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, were founded on the ruins of the Russian Empire. The new states had little military and economic potential. The proximity of the Red Empire posed a real danger to these countries. Political realities forced them to seek a stronger ally, a guarantor of their existence. In this way, the Polish state found itself in the orbit of interest of its small, north-eastern neighbors. This idea was not contrary to the political and military interests of Poland, for which the Bolshevik system also posed a serious threat. Mutual expectations led to a series of conferences between Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Poland, which were supposed to lead to the construction of the Baltic Union, an agreement of a defensive nature. These efforts did not end in success, but they formed the basis for multilateral meetings and contacts in the first half of the 1920s. Unfortunately, Lithuania, in conflict with Poland practically throughout the entire interwar period, broke away from these relations.
