Greater Poland Offensive

The Greater Poland Offensive was a military campaign during World War I in 1918, where Polish forces and allies launched an assault against German-held territories in the region of Greater Poland. The goal was to reclaim Polish lands and strengthen the position for Poland’s independence after years of partitions by neighboring powers. The offensive successfully pushed German forces back, contributing to the re-establishment of Poland’s sovereignty in 1918. It was a significant step in Poland's fight for independence, involving coordinated military efforts to regain control of historically Polish areas occupied by Germany.
