Hi all,

Reading about Intewar Polish politics, I was wondering about the possibility of a Civil war during a world without Hitler. It seems to me that by the end of the 1930s, Poland was facing a fair amount of tension; the Ukrainians had been sufficiently radicalized, and the most active Ukrainian group, the OUN, had frankly adopted terrorist tactics and envisioned creating a Ukrainian Piedmont in Galicia (Said organization, of course, was supported by the Germans and Czechs. Lots of love in Eastern Europe). The country was sharply divided politically, with the Socialists and other opposition groups launching a series of general strikes across the country throughout the decade.

So, I'm wondering about the feasibility of a civil war along the lines of the Spanish Civil War. Any thoughts?
