Abstract

The Central Industrial District was a unique economic and military program in Central and Eastern Europe initiated in the years 1936-1939, constituting a significant achievement for Poland in the Second Polish Republic. The decision to establish it resulted from the need to strengthen the state's military and economic potential, the increasing tension in international relations and the threat posed by Poland's neighbours and potential enemies, as well as providing the army with modern weapons and equipment. Military institutions played one of the essential roles in the implementation of the program.
