Sikorski-Mayski Agreement

The Sikorski-Mayski Agreement, signed in 1941 between the Polish government-in-exile and the Soviet Union, was a treaty that restored diplomatic relations and set the foundation for cooperation during World War II. It allowed Polish citizens who had been deported or imprisoned by the Soviets to join the Polish army and contributed to mutual understanding. The agreement also addressed issues like prisoners’ release and understanding of borders, though some disagreements remained. Overall, it was a significant step toward rebuilding trust and collaboration between Poland and the Soviet Union during the wartime alliance.
