Abstrakt: | The occupation politics of German authorities during the World War I led to a revival of national
movements in the territory of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In the final period of
war the aspirations of the elites from particular ethnic groups aiming at building their own state
organisms became the source of the conflict. The object of rivalry was Vilnius and Wileńszczyzna.
The Lithuanians aimed at building the nation based on the domination of culture and the Lithuanian
language with the capital in Vilnius. They were against the federation with Poland. They received
support of the part of Jewish politicians for the price of the promise to introduce the national-
-cultural autonomy, although the Jews from Vilnius were in favour of the conception of the ethnic,
not national state. The Polish community was divided. The minority constituted the advocates of
the reference to tradition of a multinational Lithuanian state in which different languages would be
justified and the restoration of the relationship of Poland and Lithuania would constitute a protection
of the laws of the Polish culture and would create a potential able to resist danger on the part
of Russia. In the Polish camp the idea of incorporating Wileńszczyzna with Vilnius into Poland
dominated. The Belorussian elites were in the most difficult situation, wanting to build the nation
covering both the part of Wileńszczyzna and Minsk. Unshaped national awareness of Belorussian
masses and lack of a broader class of intelligentsia forced the Belorussian activists to search for the
external support on the part of Russia, Poland and Lithuania. However, each of the neighbouring
countries had territorial businesses which collided with Belorussian aspirations. The advocates of
Piłsudski, editing “Nasz Kraj”in 1919 in Vilnius regarded a multinational Lithuania combined with
Poland by means of federation as the only chance to unite contradictory programmes. They did not
manage though to reconcile either Lithuanians or Belorussians or even the majority of the Polish
society in Vilnius for the very conception. |
