Polish Senate in Exile

The Polish Senate in Exile was a government-in-exile formed by Polish leaders during World War II after Poland was occupied by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939. Operating from abroad, primarily in London, it aimed to represent Polish interests, preserve sovereignty, and support resistance efforts. The Senate functioned as part of the broader Polish government-in-exile, maintaining legitimacy and coordination until Poland's liberation and the post-war government was established. Its existence symbolized Polish resistance and hope for independence despite occupation and exile circumstances.
