The article discusses the period of Poland's reappearance between 1918 and 1921, focusing on the differing perspectives of authors Andrzej Nowak and Jochen Böhler. Nowak emphasizes a moral and determinative view, portraying Russia as an "evil empire" and Poland as the defender of the West. In contrast, Böhler presents a more critical and inductive approach, questioning the mythic history constructed by the Poles and highlighting the flaws and contradictions in their actions during that time. The article also touches on the Western powers' lack of understanding and support for Poland during this period. [Extracted from the article] |
