POLISH IMMIGRANTS IN THE USA AND THEIR HOMELAND 1914-1923
Adam WALASZEK
Sažetak
The movement to liberate Poland from the three empires
that had partitioned it in the 18th century started in the
United States in the 1880’s, and, even though it was rent
with divisions, the various émigré groups did manage to
unite during World War I to achieve their goal. Furthermore,
American Poles continued to actively support the new Poland
until 1923 by sending large sums of money to their
resurrected state, by the return of about 100,000 Poles from
the United States to their homeland, and by their investment
in over 200 new enterprises. All these factors helped to put
Poland on a better economic footing, and, therefore,
American Poles contributed substantially to the liberation of
their homeland during and immediately after World War I.
