Górny Śląsk w publicystyce Bolesława Koskowskiego na łamach Kuriera Warszawskiego w latach 1918-1921

This year we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Polish-Bolshevik war and the outbreak of the Second Silesian Uprising. Among results of the Versailles decisions a one redraw Poland on the map of Europe and the country was reborn after 123 years of partitions. These events had a huge impact on the further fate of the reborn Polish state. In the first years after Poland regained independence, the political and military authorities in the country focused on consolidating the pre-partition territories. Also the press played a significant role in this task. In the twenties, journalism was the primary source of knowledge about the surrounding world. Journalists played an important mission in promotion of the fighting spirit and shaping patriotic awareness in the lands of the former partitioning powers. Editorial point of view often strongly influenced the public opinion, becoming an effective weapon in the fight to strengthen the independence move. The journalistic activity of Bolesław Koskowski in the pages of "Kurier Warszawski" fits in a special way and deserves attention. In his numerous articles, we can find confirmation that Warsaw was not indifferent to the struggle to join Upper Silesia to the Motherland.
