Polish National Committee (1917–1919)

Polish National Committee (1917–1919)

Polish National Committee ( _pl. Komitet Narodowy Polski) was formed in France in 1917 by Polish National Democracy politician Roman Dmowski. Its goal was to support Entente by creating a Polish army (the Blue Army under Józef Haller de Hallenburg) fighting alongside of it in exchange of receiving support for independent Poland. In addition to Dmowski its chief activists included Ignacy Jan Paderewski, August Zaleski, Erazm Piltz, Marian Seyda and Maurycy Zamoyski. In September 1917, the Polish National Committee was recognized by the French as the legitimate government of Poland. The British and the Americans were less enthusiastic about Dmowski's National Committee, but likewise recognized it as Poland's government in 1918. The Committee recognized the government of Ignacy Jan Paderewski in January 1919 and dissolved itself.
