A bit of history
In 1918 Poland regained independence after 123 years of division between Russia Prussia and Austria. Main conflict of the new state was against Bolshevik Russia. Althought Bolshevik propaganda supported independence of Russian Empire nations, But Poland was different problem. Since several hundread of years Polish settlement were spread to Smolensk and Kiev. Polish Troops were entrenched on Berezine river banks. In Germany was revolution and Bolsheviks needed to destroy Polish State in way to Germany.
The ongoing since the winter of 1919 Polish-Bolshevik war was coming to a climax, the Bolsheviks regained control for the majority of the resources of Russia and were almost ready to strike to the west, to help the revolution in Germany.
Advance blow Polish and Ukrainian allies to Kiev forced the opponent to fight before the concentration of the whole force. Polish Army went into retreat behind the Berezina and Kiev. The focus of the enemy was large, and there was a real possibility of his plans. Luckily, the Red Army attack coordination, lack of concentration of its forces in the direction of Warsaw created a favorable situation – the south wing of the Bolsheviks was exposed.
When at city of Radzymin units Polish Army opposed attack on the capital, from Wieprz river it was launched a counter-offensive. The plan developed by General Rozwadowski and masterfully performed by the Marchall Pilsudski led to cut-Bolshevik forces and their break.
In one and a half years after independence, young Polish State has shown that it is able to maintain its independence.
