Abstract

The paper refers to selected key political issues related to the construction of central state bodies of the reborn Polish statehood in the years 1917–1918. This construction (organization) was started by activist circles in the proclaimed (reactivated) Kingdom of Poland on November 5, 1916, by emperors of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The emancipatory bodies formed at the time – the Provisional Council of States followed by the Regency Council of the Kingdom of Poland – made efforts to organize the state structures of the reborn statehood, which de facto worked for the future "United Polish State" and as such were taken over and fully used by the sovereign Polish authorities after November 11–14, 1918.
