"The history of Poland in the years 1914-1918, especially in recent decades, belongs to one of the most eagerly mined fields of research by Polish historians. This is mainly due to the fact that one of the effects of the historic storm that began in the summer of 1914 was the return of the Polish state to the map of Europe. Hence a number of significant Polish histories, such as: the political activity of Polish politicians and groups, the armed struggle for indepependence, the international circumstances of the Polish cause, the creation of Poland's political foundations, as well as the territorial shape and international position of Poland - are describes with great precision and readily discussed in the pages of books, magazines and during numerous academic conferences"
