[edit] 1919 war

The text "Czech troops entered area managed by Polish interim body on January 23. Czech troops gained the upper hand over local Polish militias. Poland could not afford to send more troops to the area, as she was fighting for survival in the Polish-Soviet War." is incorrect. The Polish-Soviet War started only in February 1919 (i.e. after the 1919 war with Czechoslovakia finished) and the "fight for survival" (I understand that this refers to the Vistula miracle) took place in 1920. Also, what "local polish militias" means? Yes, there were polish volunteers but regular polish army (commanded by Franciszek Latinik) also. Could please others comment? I intend to change the text.--Xixaxu 13:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

The article has no refs and you are right this seem to be an error. I suggest moving parts of text from Zaolzie here completly, per our previous discussions.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  17:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Regular army (of worse quality, btw) appeared in the region on the last moment. Polish military was engaged in the East where it faced much larger problems. - Darwinek 19:27, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

As already mentioned on the Zaolzie talk page, agree with Piotrus on moving the text from Zaolzie here. However, Darwinek apparently disagrees with that so made the change here to avoid conflict.--Xixaxu 20:30, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah yes. The war in 1919, for which best Polish troops from Zaolzie were moved, was with Ukraine. The war with Soviets influenced only negotiations with Czechs, when Polish delegates were facing the wall Szopen 09:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Polish-Ukrainian War, good catch. Polish-Soviet war did not start until February 1919, but we should note that confusion on eastern front was such that Polish troops were constantly shuffled in that direction since, well, the very begining of the Polish state. Keep in mind Piłsudski's words from that time: All that we can gain in the west depends on the Entente—on the extent to which it may wish to squeeze Germany," while in the east "there are doors that open and close, and it depends on who forces them open and how far.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  18:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
