AH Challenge: make Pilsudski's Prometheism and Intermarum Federation succeed

Yes, as the title says, I just read interesting concepts by Polish leader, Josef Pilsudski, on wiki. Prometheism is a concept he made when exiled to Siberia. The goal was to free non-Russian nations from Russian domination and, finally, the dismemberment of Russia itself.
The second concept is Intermarum Federation, a federation uniting Central and Eastern Europe up to the Caucasus, modelled after the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

The challenge is to make this two concepts work and a real union appeared instead of a strong Nazi Germany or Soviet Union.

Thanks in advance!
 
Can a strong Nazi germany lead up to it? Since the only way I see something like this happening is if CalBears timeline came to pass. The nazi's pretty much exterminate everyone up to the urals and are later beat down. Eastern Europe is pretty sparse, so instead of reforming the pre-war countries one vast confederation is formed.

Well either that or some kind of trading block, but that still doesn't kill Russia.

I guess a nuclear war might work.

A uber Poland that annex all Belarus, invade all Lithuania, force dominance over Latvia and Estonia and create a Ukrainian puppet (or annex the place) is semi-plausible, but Poland need to be seriously wanked.

A Poland creating a peaceful federation of Central European States is ASB. There was too much distrust and hate between the nations of Central Europe, and several of them didn't like Poland very much (with reason).
 
I recall that in 1933, Poland was considering offering the Crown as King of Poland to Friedrich Christian, Margrave of Meissen. Friedrich was the heir to the former King of Saxony. The deal fell through after Hitler came to power.

Okay let's say this doesn't and then in 1934, Hindenburg's circle disgusted with Hitler's failure to control the SA's street violence, has Hitler removed from power. Follow with Hindenburg's death and a power vacuum emerges in Germany.

Now with the Prussian Crown Prince having been a supporter of Hitler, the Wurttemburg Royal line extnct and Bavaria's having ties that would offend Great Britian, perhaps Friedrich Christian might become Emperor of Germany, King of Poland and Saxony etc. Add to this Friedrich Christian's wife was on the Hungarian Haspburg line and you could link Austria and Hungary to your growing empire.

Just a random collection of ideas though how much would require handwavium I'm not sure.
 
If I remember correctly there were also some plans during WW II for Polish Czechoslovak union after war will end.
