Abstract

There was a Russo-Polish war in 1920. An examination of current reference works reveals an amazing dearth or coverage of this topic. Encyclopedias, generally, omit that the event occurred, but do not treat it in detail, implying thereby that the war had meager significance, either for the contenders, or for history in general. Textbook writers, too, where they take cognizance of it, tend to dismiss it with a broad generalization or a capsule criticism.

It is the belief of this writer that this war of 1920 was of major importance and that the events surrounding it need setting out in detail. Only in that way can its significance for Europe be seen.
