Intermarium

Intermarium is a big word that describes the area in between some countries in Europe. Imagine a big puzzle with many pieces that fit together. These countries used to be joined together, but then they became separate countries.

So, Intermarium includes countries like Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus, and sometimes even Hungary, Slovakia, and Czech Republic.

All these countries have some things in common. They share similar cultures, languages, and beliefs. Intermarium became a popular idea in the 20th century when some people thought these countries should work together to protect themselves from outside dangers.

It's like when you and your friends work together to build a big fort so no one can invade it. Intermarium is like a big fort that protects these countries from bad things.
