	All the states of German-occupied Europe had their governments in exile during the Second World War. The main goal of the Central European states was to regain independence, but not to return to status quo ante, as all of them, with the laudable exception of Czechoslovakia, were autocratic before 1939. Acquiring allies required convicting them about the willingness to establish the democratic rule. One of the main arguments was the vision of Central European federation. The federation was not only a synonym of democracy, but also an opportunity to strengthen the entire area. Sikorski’s government was particularly active in this field, acquiring Western allies for its plans, but did not manage to convince Stalin with their help.
