Polish irredentism encompasses the belief that certain territories not currently under Polish jurisdiction have historical, ethnic, or legal ties to Poland and should be reclaimed. This sentiment presents a range of claims and ideal borders, with variations dependent on individual perspectives. These claims can be broadly categorized into several prevailing concepts. The "Kresy Idea" centers on eastern territories, invoking the term "kresy" in Polish which translates to "borderlands." The "Recovered Territory Idea" pertains to regions such as Pomerania, Lubusz, and Silesia, with a focus on maintaining control of these areas in opposition to German irredentism. The "Saxony Claim" draws connections to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and its historical links. The "Cieszyn Reunification" emphasizes the Czech side of the Cieszyn area. The "Western Pomeranian Reunification" advocates for areas like Griefswald that were once part of the Pomerania province. The "Polabian Idea" underscores the Polish-Polabian historical connection. The "Curonian Legacy" invokes Polish claims on territories such as Latvia, Tobago, and Gambia, reflecting the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's historical presence. Lastly, the "Madagascar Claim" addresses Polish historical interests in Madagascar.
