What if a single geopolitical decision after World War I could have completely stopped the rise of the Germany, the Soviet Union and potentially prevented World War II? Enter Intermarium - a forgotten, high-stakes plan proposed by Polish leader Józef Piłsudski to unite Eastern Europe into a massive slavic superpower stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
