August Anniversaries

August is a month witnessing many memorable events for Poland:

  • Between August 15th and 25th, 1920 (90 years ago) the Polish forces under Józef Piłsudski successfully forced the Bolsheviks to withdraw at the Battle of Warsaw, the decisive battle of the Polish-Soviet War
  • In August 1980 (30 years ago), strikes at the Gdańsk shipyard led by Lech Wałęsa and others entailed establishment of the first independent labor union in the Soviet bloc (Solidarity)
