In this article the author discusses the crucial issues of Polish military history of 1914-1939 concerning Polish military units from the First World War and the Polish army of the Second Polish Republic until the Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union invasion of Poland in September 1939. The article also deals with the questions connected with Poland’s strategic location in the years 1921-1939 and the related Polish military planning, the mobilization and economic preparations undertaken at that time, military alliances, military relations with the then neighbors of Poland etc. Thus the article presents the whole of the major military issues related mainly to the functioning of the Polish state between 1918 and 1939.

One of the more fascinating cultural and climatic regions of the II Republic of Poland was Hutsul region located in Stanisławów Voivodeship. Initially, the region was outside the circle of interests of tour operators. Only just the early thirties of the twentieth century was considered that Hutsul region should become an important element of Polish tourism and sport policy. First and foremost the contemporary Ministry of Military Affairs was designated to accomplish this task. An important role also come, on established in 1932, Friends of Hutsul Region Association. In the years 1933–1935 – in the summer time – nationwide „Hutsul Festivals” were organized. Its „winter” counterpart was the Winter Marches of Hutsul’s Rout of the II Brigade of Polish Legions. Tourist-sport events, largely of political and propaganda character, were accompanied by a fight to improve the tourist infrastructure. The main aspect of this was uprising in 1935–1938 the magnificent – even monumental – Hutsul Museum in Żabie. As a result – at the end of the interwar period – Hutsul region became a region competing with Tatra Mountains and Zakopane for the primacy in tourist aspect.

Jednym z bardziej fascynujących regionów kulturowo-klimatycznych Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej była Huculszczyzna, położona w województwie stanisławowskim. Początkowo region ten pozostawał poza kręgiem zainteresowań organizatorów działalności turystycznej. Dopiero na początku lat trzydziestych XX wieku uznano, że Huculszczyzna powinna stać się ważnym elementem polskiej polityki turystyczno-sportowej. Do realizacji tego zadania skierowano przede wszystkim ówczesne Ministerstwo Spraw Wojskowych. Ważna rola przypadła też utworzonemu w 1932 roku Towarzystwu Przyjaciół Huculszczyzny. W latach 1933–1935, w okresach letnich, organizowano ogólnopolskie Święta Huculszczyzny. Ich zimowym odpowiednikiem były Zimowe Marsze Huculskim Szlakiem II Brygady Legionów Polskich. Imprezom turystyczno-sportowym, w dużej mierze o charakterze polityczno-propagandowym, towarzyszyła walka o poprawę infrastruktury turystycznej. Głównym tego przejawem było zbudowanie w latach 1935–1938 okazałego Muzeum Huculskiego w Żabiem. W efekcie, pod koniec międzywojnia, Huculszczyzna stała się pod względem turystycznym regionem konkurującym o pierwszeństwo z Tatrami i Zakopanem.
