Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | This was a war in from 1919-1921 that was caused by the collision between various parties trying to fill the power vacuum left after World War I. Taking the opportunity given by the collapse of the German and Austrian Empires and the chaos of the Russian Civil War Poland declared itself independent. However the borders between the new state of Poland and the Soviet Union were unclear, as was the international status of each. Skirmishes started in disputed territory which escalated until the newly formed Polish army commenced an invasion/intervention/consolidation of Poland's territory (depending on how you look at it) into the disputed region both to improve its own position and to drive the Russians further away from Poland. As the original fighting had started without either government's knowledge, arguably the early phase was more a "collision" then an aggression by either, but in any case both sides were too busy to care much. |
