		The first Polish government and Pilsudski were both distrusted in the West because Pilsudski had cooperated with the Central Powers in 1914-17 and because he had supported the formation of a Socialist government.
		Polish propaganda stressed that if Poland won the plebiscite, Silesian Poles would no longer be oppressed or treated as second class citizens as they were in Germany, and they would not lose their old age pensions.
		Polish armies came into Lithuania in 1919, when they pushed the communist Litbel government out of Wilno/Vilnius, and again in the Polish-Soviet war.The Polish seizure of Wilno/Vilnius in October1920, must also be seen in the context of Lithuanian-Soviet relations.

		Final shaping of the meaning of Pomerania happened in 13th and 14th century : on the one hand, due to capturing of the Rugia Island by Pomeranian dukes, and on the other hand due to the lost of many territories in south and south-west for the benefit of Brandenburg.
		In polish language to this day, the notion Pomerania means lands reaching from lower part of the Wisła river to the Rugia Island.
		However, because of completely different historical events of Pomerania near the Odra river and near the Wisła river, the first part is called Western Pomerania and the latter is called Eastern Pomerania (in the narrower meaning of the word).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Wladislaw
		The old Polish historians follow John Dlugosz, the fifteenth century annalist, who narrates that Mieczyslaw, the first Polish king (962-92), after receiving baptism in 966, founded the two Archbishoprics of Gnesen and Cracow, and seven dioceses, among which was Kruszwica, or Wloclawek.
		Julian Bartoszewicz, another Polish writer ("Encyklopedya Powszechna", Warsaw, 1860, III, 636), taking a Bull of Eugene III as his authority, places the foundation as far back as 1148; but this very Bull contradicts the assertion by mentioning this diocese as already existing in 1123, placing it under the special protection of the Holy See.

		Gella is right in claiming that the destruction of the Polish Underground State still awaits a comprehensive study [2], though he acknowledges throughout the book some works and collections of documents published in the last few years.
		He then makes a suggestion that this omission was partly due to the desire, on the communist side in the talks, to exclude Polish emigrants and their children from playing too important a role in the Third Republic.
		He does not recognize the role of the Polish intelligentsia in the ranks of the Committee for the Defense of Workers (KOR) in 1976-81, in underground Solidarity and in the underground "civic society" in the years 1982-89.
