Currently I'm doing a map of Europe were a independent Poland was established during the 1848 revolutions and a united German (republic) state as well. The map shows what territory both have.

Now what kind of relations would they have? Now say Poland is lucky enough to establish a independent state with all the territory shown (let's say that Russia doesn't recognize it and seeks to reincorporate it). Would they be able to gain recognition from anyone like say Great Britain or France? Would this stop Russia from trying anything? Would Poland actually seek help from Germany if they are desperate enough? And would Germany be fine with autocratic, reactionary Russia sharing a border with it if Russia does decide to invade and re-annex Poland?
