After WW1 Poland became an independent nation, called the Second Polish Republic (Rzeczpospolita Polska). After the Polish–Soviet War (1919-1921) was fought Poland's eastern borders were secured. The western borders were established after the Greater Poland Uprising (1918–19), led by Józef Piłsudski, and the Silesian Uprisings (1919-1921). All important moments in the history of Poland. Although Poland was independent now the republic suffered several hardships. Interwar Poland was far from stable. In the eastern regions (the kresy) Ukrainian nationalists (UPA) wreaked havoc. The Polish government sent troops to restore order, but this only radicalised the Ukrainians. With the German invasion of Poland (1939) the Second Polish Republic came to an end.
