Historical debate about whether Poland should exist as a state
Book cover Sprawa polska w roku 1861. List z kraju (Listopad 1861). English: The Polish Question in 1861. Letter from the Homeland (November 1861) published in Polish by L. Martinet publishing, Paris[1]
The Polish question (Polish: kwestia polska or sprawa polska) was the issue, in international politics, of the existence of Poland as an independent state.[2] Raised soon after the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, it became a question current in European and American diplomacy throughout the 19th and parts of the 20th centuries. Historian Norman Davies notes that the Polish question is the primary lens through which most histories of Europe discuss the history of Poland, and was one of the most common topics of European politics for close to two centuries.[3] The Polish question was a major topic at all major European peace conferences: at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, at the Versailles Conference in 1919, and at the Yalta Conference and the Potsdam Conference in 1945.[3] As Piotr Wandycz writes, "What to the Poles was the Polish cause, to the outside world was the Polish question."[4]
