Międzymorze

Salah satu usulan Federasi Intermarium. Warna hijau muda adalah wilayah Ukraina dan Belarus yang berada di bawah kendali Uni Soviet setelah tahun 1921.

Międzymorze (pengucapan bahasa Polandia: [mʲɛnd͡zɨˈmɔʐɛ]), juga dikenal dengan istilah Latin Intermarium, adalah sebuah rencana yang dicetuskan oleh pemimpin Polandia Józef Piłsudski setelah berakhirnya Perang Dunia I. Rencana ini ingin mendirikan sebuah federasi[1][2][3][4][5] di negara-negara Eropa Tengah dan Timur. Negara yang diundang untuk bergabung adalah negara-negara Baltik (Lituania, Latvia, Estonia), Finlandia,[6] Belarus, Ukraina, Hungaria, Rumania, Yugoslavia dan Cekoslowakia.[7][8]

Istilah dalam bahasa Polandia Międzymorze berarti "antarlaut" atau "di antara laut", sehingga dalam bahasa Latin diterjemahkan menjadi "Intermarium." [9]

Federasi ini menyerupai Persemakmuran Polandia-Lituania, yaitu sebuah negara yang berdiri dari akhir abad ke-16 hingga akhir abad ke-18 yang terbentang dari Laut Baltik hingga Laut Hitam dan menyatukan Kerajaan Polandia dengan Keharyapatihan Lituania.

Intermarium melengkapi visi geopolitik Piłsudski lainnya, yaitu Prometeisme yang ingin memecah belah Kekaisaran Rusia.[10][11][12][13]

Namun, rencana intermarium dianggap sebagai ancaman oleh Lituania yang ingin mempertahankan kemerdekaannya serta orang-orang Ukraina yang ingin mewujudkan kemerdekaan Ukraina.[14][15][16] Rencana ini juga ditentang oleh Rusia dan negara-negara Barat lain, kecuali Prancis.[17][18][19]

Dua dasawarsa setelah kegagalan rencana besar Piłsudski, negara-negara yang menjadi calon anggota intermarium telah jatuh ke tangan Uni Soviet atau Jerman Nazi, kecuali Finlandia (yang masih kehilangan beberapa wilayahnya akibat Perang Musim Dingin).

  12. ^ "Pilsudski hoped to build not merely a Polish nation state but a greater federation of peoples under the aegis of Poland which would replace Russia as the great power of Eastern Europe. Lithuania, Belorussia and Ukraine were all to be included. His plan called for a truncated and vastly reduced Russia, a plan which excluded negotiations prior to military victory."

  13. ^ "Pilsudski's program for a federation of independent states centered on Poland; in opposing the imperial power of both Russia and Germany it was in many ways a throwback to the romantic Mazzinian nationalism of Young Poland in the early nineteenth century."

  15. ^ "The essence of [Józef Piłsudski's "federalist" program] was that after the overthrow of tsardom and the disintegration of the Russian empire, a large, strong and mighty Poland was to be created in Eastern Europe. It would be the reincarnation of the Rzeczpospolita on "federative" principles. It was to include the Polish, Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian lands. The leading role, of course, was to be given to the Polish ethnic, political, economic and cultural element. [...] As such two influential and popular political doctrines with regard to Ukraine—the "incorporationist" and the "federalist"—even before the creation of Polish statehood, were based on ignoring the right of the Ukrainian people to self-determination and put forward claims to rule over the Ukrainian territories..."
