Important people for Poland regaining independence

Ignacy Daszyński

Ignacy Daszyński was a Polish politician, journalist and the Prime Minister of the Second Polish Republic's first government (for a short period of time).

From 1903 he started his political activity with International Socialist Party. He took part in several congresses and meetings. He was discussing the case of reunification of all Polish territories.

In 1912 he and his Polish Social Demokracy Party started their cooperation with future Marshall and General Józef Piłsudski (he was the leader of Polish Socialist Party). Than the First World War started. From 1914, when he became a deputy military commissioner, he tried to persuade the population to fight for their freedom.

Daszyński became one of the members of the Executive Department, that decided to create the Polish Legions.He wanted Poland to seek support from Austria-Hungary. He also thought that it is necessary for Polish independence to have access to the sea. That's why he was angry for Russian partition of Galicia.

In 1918, he stated in parliament that Galicia wanted to become part of and independent Poland.On October 1918 Daszyński and others went to the Austrian parliament and signed a document in which they declared themselves to be Polish citizens.On 6 November, they proclaimed the "Polish People's Republic". It was in Lublin with Daszyński as a Prime Minister. It was a big step for Poland to truly become an independent country.

Józef Piłsudski

Józef Piłsudski was a Polish politician, general, first Marshall of Poland. He was even called the leader of Second Polish Republic (he was a Minister of Military Affairs, today called Minister of National Defense).He is considered as a father of Second Polish Republic.

In his early politician life, he joined Polish Socialist Party (1893) and just 2 years later he became a PPS's leader. Piłsudski wanted Polish people to strike and fight with the Russian authorities for their way to independence. He organized many demonstrations between 1904-1906, some of them were bigger (for example, during the Russian Revolution he started a strike, in wchich about 400,000 workers took part. It lasted about two months until it was broken), and some of them were smaller and didn't change much.

Piłsudski saw that the war was coming and decided to organize a future for Polish army. With the connivance of Austrian authorities, found a military school in Kraków. Than, he transformed his paramilitary units into an "Association for Active Struggle".

During the First World War, Piłsudski believed, that Poland could have a chance to regain independence if Russia got beaten by the Central Powers. He established the Polish Legions and became the First Brigade commander himself. In 1916 Piłsudski demanded for the Central Powers to issue a guarantee of independence for Poland. He agreed to serve in the Regency Kingdom of Poland and became a Minister of War in new Polish government. He was arrested and imprisoned at Magdeburg, but he got out one year later. On 11 November 1918, Piłsudski was appointed Commander in Chief of Polish forces. On that day, he proclaimed an independent Polish state.Piłsudski also negotiated the evacuation of German troops from Warsaw and about 55,000 Germans peacefully departed Poland.

Roman Dmowski

Roman Dmowski was a Polish politician and chief ideologue of the right-wing National Democracy. After First World War he became a minister of foreign affairs in the Second Polish Republic. In 1897, he co-founded the National-Democratic Party (also called Endencja). It was a political party and an underground organization for Poles who shared Dmowski's views.He had a political rival - Józef Piłsudski. He disagreed with his actions and he'd thought that the fights and strikes that Piłsudski started were doomed to failure. After the Łódź insurrection, a miniature civil war started between Endecja and the Piłsudski's Polish Socialist Party.Dmowski supported co-operation with the Imperial Russian authorities and had seen it as the best way for Poland to regain the independence. Over time, Dmowski agreed with most of Russian overtures and started the idea, that Poland and Russia might have a common future. He'd seen Germany as their common enemy.

In 1914, Roman Dmowski praised Nikolas Manifesto to the Polish Nation, in which Tsar assured Poland, that after they defeated Germany and Autria-Hungary in the First World War, parts of those countries will be added to the Kingdom of Poland.

Dmowski's pro-Russian and anti-German propaganda disturbed Piłsudski's plans of starting an anti-Russian uprising. In November he became one of the active members of the Polish National Committee.He traveled to our western allies in 1915. He gave a series of lecture at Cambridge University. It impressed local authorities so much, that they gave him a honorary doctorate. In 1917, in Paris, he created a Polish National Committee to rebuild a Polsih state. Dmowski's National Committee was recognized by the French as the government of Poland. Great Britain and USA didn't like the idea of this Committee, however, one year later they also recognised it as a government of Poland. After Firt World War ended, both Governments, Dmowski's in Paris and Piłsudski's in Warsaw, claimed to be the legitimate governments of Poland. Ignacy Jan Paderewski persuaded them to join forces.

Kazimierz Sosnkowski

General Kazimierz Sosnkowski was a Polish independence fighter, diplomat, politician and a Polish Army general.

In 1906 he participated in the VIII Congress of Polish Socialist Party. He became the commandant of the Fighting Unit of PPS. He also led a series of attacs during the time of Polish strikes in Russia.In 1907 he led the military works of PPS and he worked with Józef Piłsudski. He was criticized in PPS for his risky tactics.When Piłsudski formed the 1st Brigade of the Polish Legions, Sosnowski was it's Chief of Staff and second-in-command. He also got arrested with Piłsudski, in 1916 and imprisoned in Magdeburg. He was released after the end of the First World War and became a Deputy Minister for Military Affairs in the Polish Second Republic.

Ignacy Jan Paderewski

He was a Polish pianist and composer, politician, statesman and,most importantly, spokesman for Polish independence.

Ignacy Jan Padarewski is a person who played an important role in meeting with Woodrow Wilson and obtaining the explicit inclusion of independent Poland (as point 13 in Wilson's peace terms in 1918, called the Fourteen Points).He was the Prime Minister of Poland and also Poland's foreign minister in 1919, and represented Poland at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.

Wincenty Witos

Wincenty Witos was a prominent member of the Polish People's Party(PSL) and leader of its "Piast" faction.

After the beginning of World War I, he became even more involved in party activities. His group joined the Supreme National Committeea quasi-government for the Poles in Galicia (he was their vice president). As the political events associated with the war unfolded and the Committee became more and more irrelevant, he resigned.In 1916 Wincenty Witos became the president of "Piast".

Although Rowecki's unit did not reach full mobilization, it take part in the defense of Poland anyway.He was murdered by the Gestapo in prison on the personal order of Heinrich Himmler.

He was a Polish statesman who served as the Chief of State (1918–22) and First Marshal of Poland (from 1920). He was considered the leader of the Second Polish Republic as the Minister of Military Affairs. From World War I he had great power in Polish politics and was a well known figure on the international scene. He is viewed as a father of the Second Polish Republic re-established in 1918, 123 years after the Partitions of Poland by Austria, Prussia and Russia.

Roman Dmowski

(1864-1939)

nt

He was a Polish politician, statesman, and co-founder and chief ideologue of the right-wing National Democracy "Endecja" political movement. He favored the re-establishment of Polish independence by nonviolent means. He was a principal figure instrumental in the postwar restoration of Poland's independent existence. After the war Dmowski represented the new Polish national government at the Paris Peace Conference, and in June 1919 he signed the Treaty of Versailles.

Dmowski never wielded official political power, except for a short period in 1923 as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Nevertheless, he was one of the most influential Polish ideologues and politicians of his time. His beliefs were considered controversial. He remains the prototype of Polish right-wing nationalism and has been called the father of Polish nationalism. Throughout most of his life, he was the chief opponent of Józef Piłsudski.

After World War I, Daszyński cofounded the Polish National Committee, and for a few days he served as head of the provisional government formed in the city of Lublin. From July 1920 to January 1921 he served as deputy prime minister in a Government of National Unity led by Wincenty Witos. Though he strongly supported Józef Piłsudski during the May 1926 Coup, he later joined the center-left opposition.
