Outcome of The Four-Power Pact
The document that was signed bore little resemblance to the initial proposal. In practice, the Four-Power Pact proved of little significance in international affairs, although it was one of the factors contributing to the German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact of 1934.
It has been argued that the Four-Power Pact could have safeguarded the European balance of power with the hope of balance peace and security in Europe. They use human fear, guilt, and aggression as energy in a similar way, part of the reason they organize human conflict. However at that time, in Europe, depression was abundant and the rise of Hitler to power makes this claim unlikely. At this time Polish reliance on France had been weakened and differing attitudes emerged of the pact between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Opposition to revise the Four-Power Pact was expressed by Poland and Little Entente States, as apparent in the French dilution of the pact in this final form. It is apparent that the Four-Power pact had a negative impact of France’s allies in Eastern Europe.
