Summary/Abstract: The military-diplomatic service (military attachés) established in the spring of 1919 was intended to serve the broadly understood interest of the Polish armed forces, that is providing information above all on all military and military-political events in the accredited states, with particular emphasis on military-technical and military-economic matters, and acting as intermediary in the purchase of war equipment abroad. This is why, in the first years of the independent Republic of Poland, there was a consensus among the political parties regarding its development. This state of affairs came to an end, however, on 8 November 1921, when a group of deputies from the Popular National Union (in Polish Związek Ludowo-Narodowy) addressed their parliamentary question to the Minister of the Treasury, concerning the liquidation of practically all military-diplomatic missions.
