| abstract in English: | The Supreme National Committee (Naczelny Komitet Narodowy, NKN) was an organization that functioned in the Polish lands in 1914-1917 and acted as a political and logistic support for the Polish legions fi ghting in the Austro-Hungarian army. As a state with little military strength, Austria-Hungary was completely dependent on its strong ally - Germany. For the Supreme National Committee, this meant that decisions about the future of the Polish lands were made not in Vienna, but in Berlin. In particular, attempts to create an Austrian-Polish political program had to be approved by Germany. Implementation of such a program thus had to include a series of unspecifi ed German demands. At the same time, the NKN had to convince Poles that it made sense not only to ally themselves with Austria, but also with Germany. However, Germany was not popular among Poles living in all three partitions. Similarly, Kaiser Wilhelm II was not interested in taking the demands of Poles into account. This article discusses the desperate attempts of the Supreme National Committee to convince Polish society of the wisdom of cooperating with the Central Powers on one hand, and obtain positive opinions and decisions from the politicians of the two monarchies on the other. Such attempts were undertaken by writers, politicians and propagandists as well as by the Committee itself. The author concentrates his attention on the years 1915-1916, when all of the Polish lands were under control of the Central Powers but the future territorial divisions of Central Europe remained an open question. In the end, the Act of 5 November 1916, which created a puppet Polish kingdom entirely dependent on Germany and Austria-Hungary, ended all dreams of a sovereign Poland under Habsburg rule. |
