Interbellum Poland was also a country with numerous social problems . Unemployment was high , and poverty in the countryside was widespread , which resulted in several cases of social unrest , such as the 1923 Kraków riot , and 1937 peasant strike in Poland . There were conflicts with national minorities , such as Pacification of Ukrainians in Eastern Galicia ( 1930 ) , relations with Polish neighbors were sometimes complicated ( see Soviet raid on Stołpce , Polish – Czechoslovak border conflicts , 1938 Polish ultimatum to Lithuania ) . On top of this , there were natural disasters , such as the 1934 flood in Poland
