On 27 December 1918 an uprising against Germans broke out in Poznań, with a goal to lead to the incorporation of Greater Poland into the Republic of Poland which was just coming back to life after years of partitions. The moment of outbreak coincided with the presence in Poznań of British colonel Harry Wade, an attaché in Copenhagen, who was accompanying Ignacy Paderewski on his journey to Poland. The article answers the following questions: was Harry Wade sent to the capital of Greater Poland by the secret intelligence service; or was his presence due to the fact that London had granted a cruiser to transport Paderewski; did the colonel’s presence have an impact on the outbreak of the uprising; and how was his stay in Poznań assessed by the British authorities.

In the first months of 1936 Great Britain lost both its prestige in the international arena (unsuccessful measures undertaken in response to Italian aggression in Abyssinia) as well as real guarantees of security (remilitarization of the Rhineland, which was a violation of the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Treaties). No wonder then that the government of Stanley Baldwin endeavored to take over initiative and in March 1936 declared willingness to reform the League of Nations and the entire system of collective security. The article answers the following questions: Who in the British government presented London’s proposals in this context? How did London intend to implement them? To what extent did British diplomacy plan to act as leader in the process of working out the reform of the League of Nations? Anthony Eden’s address at the meeting of the Assembly of the League of Nations on 25th September 1936 supplied answers to the above questions. It communicated the attitude of British diplomacy to the League of Nations and the idea of collective security. However, many observers found the address bland and signaling British passivity. The article explains why the head of British diplomacy presented such wishy-washy proposals. The basic research method was analysis of the documents of the British government and Foreign Office.

The Eastern Pact on Mutual Assistance (called at the beginning ‘Eastern Locarno’) was a Franco-Soviet initiative which drew much attention of politicians and public opinion in Europe in 1934. It was a proposal to be implemented into the collective security system. The article addresses the following questions: What was the main aim of British diplomacy in European affairs in 1934? Was London interested in the idea of an Eastern Pact on Mutual Assistance? Did the British diplomats see any profit for their country’s security in a Franco-Soviet proposal? Were they active in European diplomatic relations in the case of the Eastern Pact and if so to what extent? How did they understand collective security in East Central Europe? And how did they assess attitudes and motivations of the proposed signatories of this new coalition of states?

Recenzowana monografia ukazuje brytyjską politykę nad Bosforem z perspektywy „nowej historii dyplomatycznej”. Jej Autor analizuje pochodzenie i status brytyjskich dyplomatów, bada język i ceremoniał przyjęty podczas uroczystych audiencji, jak też przy okazji codziennych kontaktów z osmańskimi dostojnikami oraz śledzi zmiany we wzajemnej percepcji w dobie wzrostu brytyjskich ambicji imperialnych oraz rosnącej świadomości osłabienia Porty Otomańskiej. The monograph under review depicts the British policy on the Bosporus in the light of the ‘new diplomatic history’. Its author analyzes the origins and status of British diplomats, studies the language and ceremonial adopted during solemn audiences as well as everyday contacts with Ottoman dignitaries, and traces the changes in mutual perception during the era of the rise of British imperial ambitions and of the growing awareness of the weakening of the Ottoman Porte.

Ważnym elementem w obecnych badaniach historycznych jest analiza relacji dyplomatycznych dotyczących dawnej Rzeczypospolitej w tym Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego. Ukazują one dzieje państwa oraz jego politykę wewnętrzną i zagraniczna z innej perspektywy historycznej. W 1700 r. wybuchła Wielka Wojna Północna, która zmieniła układ sił politycznych w Europie Środkowo Wschodniej na kolejne dziesięciolecia. Dyplomaci obcych dworów byli zainteresowani tą wojną, w tym Philipp Plantamour, sekretarz ambasadora angielskiego w Berlinie. Przesyłał on do Londynu swoje relacje, w których umieszczał nie tylko informacje dotyczące działań militarnych w czasie wojny, ale także te dotyczące najważniejszych rodzin na Litwie i ich rywalizacji politycznej. Analiza tych raportów dyplomatycznych da odpowiedź na pytanie w jaki sposób widziano wielką wojnę północną oraz sytuację wewnętrzną w Wielkim Księstwie Litewskim na zachodzie Europy. Interesujące będzie także czy relacje Philippa Plantamoura w sposób rzetelny przedstawiały opisywane w raportach wydarzenia, czy były prawdziwe i zawierały do tej pory nieznane informacje.

An important element in current historical research is the analysis of diplomatic relations regarding the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, including the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. They show the history of the state and its internal and foreign policy from a different historical perspective. In 1700 the Great Northern War broke out, which changed the balance of political forces in Central and Eastern Europe for the next decades. Foreign court diplomats were interested in this war, including Philipp Plantamour, secretary of the British ambassador in Berlin. He sent to London his reports, in which he placed not only information about military operations during the war, but also about the most important families in Lithuania and their political rivalry. An analysis of these diplomatic reports will answer the question of how the Great Northern War and the internal situation in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in Western Europe was seen. It will also be interesting if the reports of Philipp Plantamour reliably presented the events described in the reports, were they true and contained unknown information so far.

Важным элементом современных исторических исследований является анализ дипломатических отчетов касающихся Речи Посполитой. Они показывают историю государства, его внутреннюю и внешнюю политику с другой исторической точки зрения. В 1700 году вспыхнула Северная война, и в последующие десятилетия политическая система в Центральной и Восточной Европе изменилась. Дипломаты из иностранных дворов, в том числе Филипп Плантамур, секретарь посла Джорджа Степни в Берлине, заинтересовались войной. Свои отчеты он отправлял на Британию. В них он размещал информации о военных и политических операциях в Литве. Анализ этих дипломатических отчетов дает ответ на вопрос, как этот воспринимался в 1700- 1703 гг. этот конфликт а также Литва и ее социальные элиты. Также будет интересно ответить на вопрос о том, содержали ли отчеты Филиппа Плантамура правдивую и ранее неизвестную информацию.
