Polish territories before the World War I, a great Polish political achievement
from before it’s partitions i.e. the Constitution of the 3rd of May
1791 and the geographic location of Galicia are described. The history of
Galicia during World War I is drown on the bases of the general history of the
Eastern front and the impact of the Italian front on the Galicia’s situation at
that time is clarified. As Galicia became a part of the Austrian Empire as a
result of partitions of Poland, the paper emphasizes on the situation of the

actions. The role of Galicia and Polish Legions formed there in achieving an
independency of the whole country in 1918 is underlined.
