Piłsudski gives the war of Russia

However, politically aware circles have passed through the Galicia Local Government School, "Przegląd all -Polish, and the general intelligence had the words of Wyspiański in his ears: "I will resurrect from this earth", However, after the hard competitions of the last decade, that Poland must be reborn from the war between the partitioners. On the day 1 August 1914 r. There were three main centers of conscious struggle for a better national entity: shooters, tj. Actually Piłsudski, National league, tj. Dmowski, and the Krakow-Vienna group of politicians, tj. Bobrzyński. The basic difference between them concerned orientation – Who should the Polish case be associated with; Piłsudski knew, that he has to fight with Russia; Dmowski sought to break the main enemy of Poland, tj. German and to unite Polish lands. Krakow politicians knew too many unnecessary things – on the kindness of Franciszek Józef, So they believed, that Austria will want and can, Contrary to Prussia, rebuild Poland as a third state in the Dynastic Union with Vienna and Budapest.
