The National Party (Polish: Stronnictwo Narodowe, or SN) was a Polish nationalist[2] political party formed on 7 October 1928 after the transformation of the Popular National Union.
The National Party gathered together most of the political forces of Poland's National Democracy right wing. Shortly before World War II the National Party, 200,000 strong, was the largest opposition party.[3]
In the 1930s two main factions competed within the National Party, the "old generation" and the "young generation", divided by age and political programs. The old generation supported parliamentary political competition, while the activist young generation advocated extra-parliamentary political struggle. In 1935 the young activists took over the party's leadership. In 1934 a substantial part of the young faction split off from the National Party, forming a National-Radical Camp. During World War II, many National Party activists joined the National Armed Forces and National Military Organization resistance organizations.
