British diplomacy played an important role not only during the Soviet-Polish War of 1919—20 but also in the settlement of this armed con‑ict, which ended with the signing of the Riga peace treaty  on  18  March  1921.  How  effective  was  London?  What  political  methods  did  the  British  government use to achieve the main strategic objective of stabilizing the Versailles order in Eastern Europe? And what were the short — and long-term consequences for Soviet Russia and Poland? e answers to these questions will be given in this article, based upon diplomatic correspondence as well as on diaries and memoirs penned by direct participants and contemporary observers.
