Indeed... I guess it disrupts the 'easy' black and white morality that made the Germans the bad guys in the initial stages of the following great war. Afterall, a poor, unprepared and innocent Poland is probably more sympathethic than a Bellicose Nation, hungry for power and filled with a sense of superiority, that almost immediatly after it's conception started to wage war on it's own neighbours. But then again so is war, so is politics. The rich and powerfull give the tune and the little man can do little more than to dance the jig and make the best of it.

It really seems that for some regions the end of the war was more a pause in fighting so the different groups could now focus on fighting each other!!

It's utter bonkers man😀. Poland or rather, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was partitioned by Prussia, Austria, de facto Habsburg Empire and Russia three times and wiped off the map between 1795 and 1918. Warsaw became a provincial city. Poland's borders have changed so much since the Polish baptism in 966 through centuries to such an extent, that it's mind boggling it still exists now. Read this, 1795 Warsaw was annexed by Prussia, 1806 city is occupied by French forces under Napoleon, 1809 Austrians in power between April and June, 1813 Russians in Power. The history of Poland is crazy complicated, with too many wars, battles, conflicts, uprisings, unions, alliances, rebellions,civil wars, twists and turns, foreign rulers, invasions and it would take me moths to explain it all here.

Jesse, you've said that "both sides executed civilians, took hostages, and killed prisoners" and I'm pretty sure that was indeed the case. However, could you list some exact examples of such atrocities, for each of the sides (both Ukrainian and Polish)? I'd like to read more on this topic and I need somewhere to start the search :)

Hi Pawel, You can have a look at the sources in the video description as well, but one that cited extensively from primary sources was: Böhler, Jochen. Civil War in Central Europe, 1918-1921 (Oxford University Press, 2019).

Never heard of this war before. Many Thanks indeed Great War

History is very interesting - have you been to any schools etc talking about your work/channel and what new history and thinking that you come up with your work? and is the video archive being released on to DVD?

Could you maybe do a video about the Polish-Ukrainain Kiev offensive?

During the partitions the Austrians supported Ukrainian conflicts against the Poles. They essentially wanted to reduce Polish influence in East Galicia (or more correctly in Małopolska Wschodnia).

Great and objective! Waiting for a video about Ukrainian People's Republic.

I'm Polish and I don't think I have ever heard of the war in history classes. As a history buff I was aware of the conflict taking place before watching this video, but there was just so much stuff going on at that time around Poland alone (fight for independence, Uprisings in Greater Poland and Silesia, war with Bolsheviks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians...) that I never really looked into this particular war in detail. Thanks for that very informative video.

Love that 1920s office you got.

As a historian I have never heard of these wars, while they had such an impact on the local population and the course of history in general. Thank you Great War for enlightening me again and again!

Great content

I read from War in Peace that the Ukrainian soldiers were a pain for all armies fighting in the region as they would volunteer any force that was dominant in their home region and when that force was moving away they would desert and join someone else. Peasant militiamen have different priorities from politicians and generals I guess.

We were doing this for centuries and it worked. We did not lose our identity despite not having an independent state since the 12 century. and in the end, we achieved or goal - independence. What do you know about Silesians? Probably nothing, they are weaklings who were consumed and assimilated by Poland. They did not manage to do what we did.
