Latvia was one of those places, that were the target of both Polish and Soviet army before WW2. It was one of the countries that actually was occupied by the soviet regime and was made a part of the Soviet Union (with other countries there were other scenarion, but with the three baltic states this was the case).

I hope you mean the Nazis, because it's pretty wierd to know that ploes wnated to invade us (allthough as far as I can tell we used to be part of Reczpospolita back when, so they could rpobably have territorial calims too).
as for making it soviet, that happened before WWII, in 1940 (why just 2 days ago we had 'deportation day', which was the day that either the day that first or last train with Latvians was sent to siberia in 1940). [/b][/quote]
Poland did not invade any other country during the WWII. And yes, Latvia used to be a part of Poland a long, long time ago. Not part of Rzeczpospolita - this word is the same as republic.
Both of these countries were fighting for independency, and thankfully succeeded.
And no, Poland had no teritorial claims back then. Everything they wanted was changed western border (a territory called Slask) and some Baltic ports that were under German goverment although in Polish territory.
