Denmark–Poland relations

{{Short description|Bilateral relations of Denmark and Poland}}

{{Infobox bilateral relations|Denmark–Poland relations|Denmark|Poland}}

Denmark–Poland relations refers to the bilateral relations between Denmark and Poland. Both countries are separated by the Baltic Sea and have had a very long historical contact. Both countries are full members of the Council of Europe, European Union, NATO, and the Council of the Baltic Sea States.

Relations date back to the Early Middle Ages. Throughout history, the two nations were more often allies than adversaries, with only a handful of clashes in the 11th, 15th and 16th centuries. Modern diplomatic relations were established on 8 September 1919.{{Cite web |title=Polska w Danii (Serwis Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej) |url=https://www.gov.pl/web/dania/dania |access-date=12 April 2023 |language=pl}} During the 20th century, relations were turbulent but amicable.{{Cite web |date=2023 |title=A Centenary of Polish-Danish Relations - Abstract |url=https://portal.findresearcher.sdu.dk/da/publications/a-centenary-of-polish-danish-relations |access-date=7 September 2023}} The two countries moreover maintained a maritime border dispute until 2018 when it was delineated. Denmark and Poland are now strategic partners due to the Baltic Pipe and close military cooperation within the Multinational Corps Northeast of NATO.

Danish-Polish relations date back to the Middle Ages, with both countries adopting Christianity around 965–966 and thus joining the Western civilization. By 967 the emerging Polish state gained access to the Baltic Sea by obtaining Pomerania with Wolin, the largest Baltic port city at the time, stirring animosity of Denmark, which pursued a policy of conquest in the Baltic and feared the emergence of a potential major rival, thus invaded Wolin several times in the 11th century.{{cite book|last=Srokowski|first=Stanisław|author-link=Stanisław Srokowski|year=1947|title=Pomorze Zachodnie.

From 1396 to 1439, Eric of Pomerania of the House of Griffin was King of Denmark as Eric VII, and his tomb is located in his birth town of Darłowo in Poland. In 1423, Duke Henry X Rumpold from the Głogów line of the Polish Piast dynasty served as a mediator in a dispute between King Eric VII of Denmark and Henry IV, Count of Holstein-Rendsburg.{{cite book|author=H.

During the Polish-Teutonic wars of 1409–1411 and 1454–1466, Denmark temporarily sided with the Teutonic Knights, however, there were very few Danish-Polish clashes, and a truce between Poland and Denmark was signed in 1458.{{cite web |title=Kalendarz dat: 1458 |url=https://dzieje.pl/kalendarz-dat/1458 |access-date=8 December 2023 |website=Dzieje.pl |language=pl}}

=Modern period=

In 1516, Denmark and Poland signed an alliance and a trade agreement.{{cite book|last=Karwowski|first=Stanisław|title=Wcielenie Inflant do Litwy i Polski 1558–1561 roku|year=1873|location=Poznań|language=pl|page=5}}

Denmark and Poland were initially allies in the Northern Seven Years' War since 1563, although eventually, a conflict arose over shipping through the port of Narva, and, in 1568, Poland formed an alliance with Sweden and afterwards helped conclude the Danish-Swedish peace at Szczecin in 1570.{{cite web|url=https://encyklopedia.pwn.pl/haslo/wojna-polnocna-siedmioletnia;3997504.html|title=wojna północna siedmioletnia|website=Encyklopedia PWN|language=pl|access-date=21 August 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://encyklopedia.pwn.pl/haslo/szczecinski-kongres;3982640.html|title=szczeciński kongres|website=Encyklopedia PWN|language=pl|access-date=21 August 2024}}

The deterioration of Dano-Polish relations resulted in a Danish naval raid on Hel in Poland in 1571. King Frederick II of Denmark sought sole supremacy in the Baltic Sea, thus he attempted to hinder the growth of Poland as a maritime power and supported the rebellion of the bourgeoisie of Gdańsk, the largest port city of Poland, against Polish King Stephen Báthory and entered into talks to take Gdańsk under Danish suzerainty.{{sfn|Nowodworski|1911a|p=25}} Polish King Stephen Báthory still offered privileged terms to Denmark regarding trade in the Baltic Sea in an effort to make a new Dano-Polish alliance possible.{{sfn|Nowodworski|1911a|pp=24–25}} Exaggerated rumours of an allegedly detailed plan to divide Denmark between Sweden and Spain with the participation of Poland and the forcible re-introduction of Catholicism in Denmark spread across Europe, causing concern in Protestant countries, even though Polish-Swedish talks of a potential new alliance had barely begun.{{sfn|Nowodworski|1911a|pp=28–29}} In 1579, Frederick II of Denmark offered Poland an alliance against Russia, which, however, in view of the conflict of interests, was not concluded, but Danish-Polish relations remained good afterwards with the Danish Navy blocking Russian trade through the Baltic Sea.{{sfn|Nowodworski|1911b|pp=172–173}}

Denmark and Poland were allies against Sweden again during the Northern War of 1655–1660, with Swedes invading both countries, and the Poles helping to drive Swedish occupiers out of Denmark.{{cite web|url=https://encyklopedia.pwn.pl/haslo/wojna-polnocna;3997502.html|title=wojna północna|website=Encyklopedia PWN|language=pl|access-date=21 August 2024}}

Denmark supported the Polish national uprisings when the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth fell in 1795.{{Cite book |last=Jaworski |first=Paweł |date=2023 |editor-last=Friis |editor-first=Thomas Wegener |editor2-last=Bułhak |editor2-first=Władysław |chapter=Episodic neighbourhood? Polish-Danish relations 1918–1939 |title=A Centenary of Polish-Danish Relations |pages=33-36}} In Nysa, Poland, there is a road called Aleja Duńczyków (Avenue of the Danes), built in 1864–1866 by Danish soldiers taken prisoner by Prussia in the Second Schleswig War. There is a memorial stone at the site.

By 1904, there was a Polish community consisting of several thousand workers scattered throughout Denmark.{{cite book|last=Paczkowski|first=Andrzej|year=1977|title=Prasa polonijna w latach 1870–1939. Zarys problematyki|language=pl|publisher=Biblioteka Narodowa|location=Warszawa|page=118}} Polak w Danii ("Pole in Denmark"), the oldest Polish newspaper in Denmark, was first published in July 1918, several months before Poland regained independence.

= Interwar period =

Modern relations stem back to the Interwar period. Contacts between Denmark and the new Second Polish Republic began in the first weeks after independence, when Poland asked Denmark to care for Poles in Germany and Russia. On 30 May 1919, Denmark decided to recognize the independence of Poland and diplomatic relations were ultimately established on 8 September 1919. The Polish legation was established in the Hotel Phoenix Copenhagen in 1919 with Aleksander Dzieduszycki as the first representative.{{Cite book |last=Jaworski |first=Paweł |date=2023 |editor-last=Friis |editor-first=Thomas Wegener |editor2-last=Bułhak |editor2-first=Władysław |last2=Ciechanowski |first2=Jan Stanisław |chapter=Polish envoys to Denmark 1919–1940 |title=A Centenary of Polish-Danish Relations |pages=79}} In the following months, the Danish legation in Warsaw would send reports back on Polish border conflicts, war with Russia and domestic problems, while the territorial ambitions of the new county were met with caution. Before the Locarno conference in 1925, mainstream Polish media called for Poland and Denmark to cooperate so that both countries could be included in the defense pact negotiated by the Western powers with Germany. However, there was no negotiation and consequently no cooperation. Geographical integration itself was less productive, as Polish politicians simply found it difficult to grasp the Danish security doctrine of supporting disarmament during the interwar period.

Honorary vice-consulates of Poland were founded in Aalborg, Aarhus, Hasle in 1921 and in Odense in 1922, and an honorary consular agency Kolding in 1923.{{cite book|last1=Ceranka|first1=Paweł|last2=Szczepanik|first2=Krzysztof|year=2020|title=Urzędy konsularne Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej 1918–1945.

A conciliation and arbitration treaty was signed on 23 April 1926 in Copenhagen.{{Cite Polish law|title=Traktat koncyljacyjno-arbitrażowy między Polską a Danją, podpisany w Kopenhadze dnia 23 kwietnia 1926 r. (ratyfikowany zgodnie z ustawą z dnia 16 lutego 1927 r.).|year=1927|volume=40|number=352}} This was followed by a period of systematic contacts aimed at improving mutual familiarity. For example, the fleets of the two countries would make friendly crossings over the Baltic Sea. In 1930, the Danish fleet arrived in Gdynia, while the Polish Dar Pomorza arrived to Denmark in 1933.

Poland generally tried to take a more active role in the Baltic Sea region throughout the 1930s. For this, Denmark was a target of Polish diplomacy because of its advantageous location at the straits that connects the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.

The appointment of Michał Sokolnicki as envoy to Copenhagen in 1931 was one indication of growing Polish interest in Denmark. Sokolnicki was a close friend and associate of Józef Piłsudski during the Polish–Soviet War. In 1934, Polish Foreign Minister Józef Beck visited Copenhagen. However, by the mid-1930s, Danish import of Polish coal decreased due to the end of the coal strike in the United Kingdom.

During the interwar period, Poland had military intelligence people in Denmark who cooperated with their Danish counterparts against Germany.{{Cite book |last=Bułhak |first=Władysław |last2=Friis |first2=Thomas Wegener |title=A Centenary of Polish-Danish Relations |year=2023 |pages=96 |chapter=Polish Intelligence in Denmark in 1941–1945}}

== Trade relations ==

A trade and navigation treaty was signed between Denmark and Poland in 1924.{{Cite Polish law|title=Traktat Handlowy i Nawigacyjny pomiędzy Polską a Danją podpisany dnia 22 marca 1924 r. (zatwierdzony ustawą z dnia 25 lipca 1924 r.).|year=1924|volume=74|number=736}} After 1926, Poland replaced the United Kingdom as a supplier of coal to Denmark. In 1925, the amount of Polish coal exports was 220,000 tons, 942,000 tons in 1926 and 1.3 million tons in 1927. By 1931, Danish imports from Poland amounted to 2.3% while the Polish import of Danish goods was less than one percent. In 1930, Polish Minister of Industry and Trade Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski visited Denmark to strengthen trade relations.

=World War II=

During the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Denmark declared neutrality. A majority of Polish diplomatic and consular personnel from Germany were evacuated to Denmark.{{Cite book |last=Ciechanowski |first=Jan Stanisław |date=2023 |editor-last=Friis |editor-first=Thomas Wegener |editor2-last=Bułhak |editor2-first=Władysław |chapter=Polish envoys to Denmark 1919–1940 |title=A Centenary of Polish-Danish Relations |page=86}} Józef Lipski, evacuated Polish Ambassador to Berlin, stressed that evacuated Poles received a most hospitable and cordial welcome in Denmark.

In 1940, Denmark became the second country to be invaded by Germany during the war. King Christian X of Denmark obtained an approval from Germany so that the representatives of Poland were able to safely leave Denmark.{{Cite book |last=Ciechanowski |first=Jan Stanisław |date=2023 |editor-last=Friis |editor-first=Thomas Wegener |editor2-last=Bułhak |editor2-first=Władysław |chapter=Polish envoys to Denmark 1919–1940 |title=A Centenary of Polish-Danish Relations |pages=87}} Polish intelligence officers fled to Sweden for safety. Danish-Polish diplomatic relations were considered legally intact.

During the German occupation of both countries, relations were minimal.{{Cite journal |last=Jaworski |first=Paweł |date=2023 |editor-last=Friis |editor-first=Thomas Wegener |editor2-last=Bułhak |editor2-first=Władysław |title=Introduction - From Re-stablishment to Cooperation |journal=A Centenary of Polish-Danish Relations |page=10}} A Polish intelligence organization was established in Denmark, which recruited both Danish and Polish citizens.

In 1944–1945, Poland was occupied by the Soviet Union, which installed a communist regime. In July 1945 Denmark went on to withdraw diplomatic recognition of the Polish government-in-exile in July 1945.

File:Filtrowa 13.jpg

Denmark recognized the Provisional Government of National Unity in Poland on 7 July 1945 and started sending humanitarian aid to Poland that continued after the Cold War had commenced. The period from 1949 to 1953 was the most disconsolate period in the diplomatic relations between the two countries as Denmark had joined NATO and Poland was directly subordinate to Stalin and the Soviet Union. However, two protocols on the claims and compensation for nationalised Danish property were signed in 1949 and 1953.{{Cite book |last=Tebinka |first=Jacek |title=A Centenary of Polish-Danish Relations |date=2023 |editor-last=Friis |editor-first=Thomas Wegener |pages=105-109 |chapter=Reflections on the Cold War encounters |editor2-last=Bułhak |editor2-first=Władysław}}

After the death of Stalin, Denmark joined the Anglo-American strategy of subtly encouraging satellite nations of the Soviet Union to assert their independence by fostering trade and cultural ties with Western nations. In the 1950s, Danish-Polish relations improved with Poland elevating their representation in Copenhagen to an embassy on 15 August 1957 and appointed Stanisław Wincenty Dobrowolski as ambassador. Conversely, Denmark appointed their first ambassador to Poland in February 1960. In September 1960, Danish Foreign Minister Jens Otto Krag became the first foreign minister from a NATO country to visit a Soviet satellite state, when he visited Poland to meet Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki. During their meetings, they agreed to avoid provocative military acts in the Baltic Sea. They moreover agreed to develop economic and cultural exchange but Denmark refused to include the Rapacki Plan in their joint communique for fear of it being used as propaganda. Denmark did privately raise the proposal to their NATO allies and banned the presence of nuclear weapons on their territory. Foreign Minister Rapacki visited Copenhagen in June 1960 where he was received by King Frederik IX of Denmark and Prime Minister Viggo Kampmann.

A cultural and scientific cooperation treaty was signed between Denmark and Poland on 8 June 1960.{{Cite Polish law|title=Umowa kulturalna między Polską Rzecząpospolitą Ludową a Królestwem Danii, podpisana w Kopenhadze dnia 8 czerwca 1960 r.|year=1961|volume=2|number=5}}

By the 1970s, Poland had become the largest trading partner for Denmark among the communist bloc and they moreover began negotiations on finding a solution on the maritime borders in 1972 which would continue until 2018 when Poland handed Denmark 80% of the disputed area. In the 1980s, communication decreased as Denmark joined other Western countries in pressuring Poland to re-establish dialogue with Solidarność and the Church. Only in 1987, did communication normalize as Polish authorities began political reforms and appeared to decompose.{{Cite book |last=Tebinka |first=Jacek |title=A Centenary of Polish-Danish Relations |date=2023 |editor-last=Friis |editor-first=Thomas Wegener |pages=111-112 |chapter=Reflections on the Cold War encounters |editor2-last=Bułhak |editor2-first=Władysław}}

Maritime borders

In 2018, Denmark and Poland ended 40 years of maritime border dispute when they signed an agreement concerning {{cvt|3600|sqkm|sqmi}} of Baltic Sea between Bornholm and Poland, with Denmark receiving 80% of the area.{{cite web |date=28 November 2018 |title=Poland and Denmark sign agreement on maritime boundary in the Baltic Sea |url=https://maritime-spatial-planning.ec.europa.eu/news/poland-and-denmark-sign-agreement-maritime-boundary-baltic-sea |website=maritime-spatial-planning.ec.europa.eu |language=en}} This paved the way for the Baltic Pipe, connecting Norway with Denmark and Poland, which was commissioned in September 2022.{{cite web |title=Jak sprytnie Polska i Dania podzieliły Bałtyk |url=https://www.polska2041.pl/energia/news-jak-polska-i-dania-podzielily-kawalek-baltyku,nId,2765744 |website=www.polska2041.pl |language=pl}}
