A war between Poland and Soviet Russia that broke out during the turmoil following World War I and the Russian Revolution. In April 1920, Poland, which had just gained independence, invaded Soviet Russia, which was exhausted by civil war and foreign intervention, with the aim of achieving the largest territory it had before losing its independence, and captured Kiev in early May. In response, Soviet forces launched a counterattack from the north and south, reaching the Curzon Line in Poland in mid-July. Despite warnings from the Western powers and internal calls for caution from Trotsky, Radek and others, Soviet leader Lenin ordered the continuation of the advance in the hope of sparking a revolution in Poland and other Western European countries, but was defeated by the Polish army led by J. Piłsudski outside Warsaw in mid-August. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
第1次世界大戦とロシア革命後の混乱時代に起こったポーランドとソビエト・ロシアの間の戦争。独立を獲得したばかりのポーランドは,1920年4月,独立喪失前の最大版図実現を目ざして内乱と外国干渉で疲弊したソビエト・ロシアに侵入し,5月初旬キエフを奪取した。これに対してソビエト軍は北方と南方から反撃を開始し,7月中旬ポーランドのカーゾン線に達した。ソビエトの指導者レーニンは西側列強の警告,トロツキー,ラデックら内部の慎重論にもかかわらず,ポーランドおよびその他の西欧諸国に革命が勃発することを期待して進撃続行を指令したが,8月中旬ワルシャワ郊外でJ.ピウスーツキの率いるポーランド軍に敗れた。
