Why did the Soviet Union Withhold Support for the Warsaw Uprising?

One year ago, I visited the Warsaw Uprising Museum in Poland, in which I was deeply touched by Polish people’s struggles for national sovereignty. That spirit had supported their homeland for a century, rebuilding it out of the desperate smoke. In my class “Europe in World War II,” I had a chance to write this research paper about Warsaw Uprising. This paper focuses on the “Soviet aspect” of the Uprising, and it uses the diplomatic correspondence between the Allied leadership to analyze the power dynamics behind this great patriotic movement.
