ODJEK SARAJEVSKIH HITACA U PODIJELJENOJ POLJSKOJ 1914.-1918. - ZNAČAJ SARAJEVSKOG ATENTATA ZA POLJSKO PITANJE
THE ECHO OF SARAJEVO’S SHOTS IN A DIVIDED POLAND 1914-1918. - THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SARAJEVO ASSASSINATION TO POLISH AFFAIRS

Summary/Abstract: Remaining after the 1795 Third Partition of Poland for more than a century without a state, the Poles had not given up their pursuit of recovering their independence. Vivid testifications were observed of numerous uprisings against the occupying regime, comprised of Imperial Russia, the Habsburg Empire and the German Empire. Poles loyal to their national traditions were determined to resist attempts at acculturation undertaken by the occupying empires, and to remain persistent in trying to re-establish territorial integrity and national Polish sovereignty. In a situation where they could not resist the cooperating militarily, economically and politically superior empires, the only hope for the Poles in the struggle for national liberation was for the nations to fight among themselves. This opportunity appeared in 1914 after the outbreakof the First World War, where the initial primer was represented by the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo.
