Under the influence of criticism of nationalists journalists, Especially Stanisław Stroński, The opinion assigned various failures to Polish expedition to Kyiv. Some thought, that it was possible to avoid further war, adopting the winter proposals of the Soviets. Military expertise (colonel. T. Boots) This and that in the calculations of the Supreme Commander justified, But the Ukrainian Miuses will not be able to defend anything. On the other hand, it is not absolutely certain, whether the room on these winter conditions would take a long time, As long as Trotsky breathed the passion of the world revolution. The march to Ukraine and the buzzing statements of Piłsudski created suspicion in the leftist circles of France and England, that Poland cultivates imperialist in the east, unjustified grievances, which must be inhibited for the world room. This opinion was no secret for the bad neighbors of the Republic of Poland and it emboldened them for retaliatory demands.
However, England has not achieved anything for Poland from the Soviets, However, she considered, that Grabski's concessions are still in force. Worse, The Germans just embarrassed our eastern affair, and seeing the collapse of the front after the Kiev, they encouraged their spirits powerfully. All this was reflected on the plebiscites, And it was difficult to think about the political conversion of Protestant Masuria. The Eastern-Prussian plebiscite took place [11 July 1920 r.] when it seemed, that Poland is dying for the second time.

In Upper Silesia, under the inhibitory influence of Great Britain, preparations for the plebiscite went to a turtle step. The population was impatient, And German socialists turned out to be excellent nationalists: Their grenzschutz under the command of Horsing terrorized the Polish population yes, that already 20 VIII 1919 the first uprising broke out. The slogan was given to him by Silesia PO, Nothing at the time. The movement was suppressed, But she had this effect, that at least a French-English-Italian plebiscite committee with troops of the army under the Gene command went to the site. The Ronda. At the time of the threat of Warsaw, the German embroidered Germans to harass even French soldiers, What seeing the Polish people who saw the weapon again and surrounded Katowice and Bytom; The latter uprising was a restraint, separating the fighting, The round.
Also in the Gdańsk case there was a clear deterioration after Kiev. The next day after Grabski's circle, 11 VII Lloyd George added a novelty to the Versailles Treaty not in accordance with his spirit -that the management and ownership of the port as well as roads and devices associated with it is to belong not to Poland, but to a separate advice, composed of bilateral delegates. After several months of Gdańsk and the Polish government, they concluded 9 [November 1920 r.] compromise, which this advice [KonsyTuwano].
