Fifth Term Sejm (Second Polish Republic)

The Fifth Term Sejm (parliament) of the Second Polish Republic was formed after the general election, which took place on November 6, 1938, with previous, Fourth Term Sejm, having been dissolved on September 13, 1938. It was the last assembly of interwar Poland, ending its activity in September 1939, due to German Invasion of Poland.
