title="Poland">Poland</a>. He is seen in as the father of the Polish state since he declared the country's independence at the end of the <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">First World War</a>. </p><p>From 1795 to 1918, Poland was not an <a href="/wiki/Independence" title="Independence">independent</a> country. The <a href="/wiki/Partitions_of_Poland" title="Partitions of Poland">partitions of Poland</a> divided it into three parts between <a href="/wiki/Russian_Empire" title="Russian Empire">Russia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Prussia" title="Prussia">Prussia</a> (later <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Austria-Hungary" title="Austria-Hungary">Austria-Hungary</a>. </p><p>Later, Piłsudski became a soldier and wanted to make Poland independent again. At the beginning of the First World War, people who agreed with Pilsudski helped Austria-Hungary because they preferred it to Russia. Piłsudski created a Polish army in Austria called the Polish Legions. Piłsudski is famous for leading the First Brigade of the Polish Legions. </p><p>When the legions stopped helping Austria-Hungary and Germany, Piłsudski was arrested. After the war, he was freed. </p><p>He came to <a href="/wiki/Warsaw" title="Warsaw">Warsaw</a> in November 1918 and helped to organize Poland, which existed again after 123 years of partition. Then, for a short time, he became the country's leader (not president but <a href="/wiki/Head_of_state" title="Head of state">head of state</a>). <a href="/wiki/Gabriel_Narutowicz" title="Gabriel Narutowicz">Gabriel Narutowicz</a> became Poland's first president, but he was assassinated a few days later and was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Wojciechowski" title="Stanisław Wojciechowski">Stanisław Wojciechowski</a>. Piłsudski was shocked and left politics for a few years. </p><p>The situation in Poland was not good, and the politicians were greatly divided. Many people, especially the soldiers, wanted Piłsudski back and so he told Wojciechowski to resign. When he refused, Piłsudki took over with the help of the army. The Poliish Parliament elected his close friend Ignacy Mościcki as the the new president. Together, they changed the Polish Constitution and made other changes that made the country stronger in the 1920s and the 1930s. </p><p>Today, Piłsudski is remembered as a hero and has many statues and streets named after him. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Childhood_and_youth">Childhood and youth</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=J%C3%B3zef_Pi%C5%82sudski&veaction=edit&section=1" title="Change section: Childhood and youth" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=J%C3%B3zef_Pi%C5%82sudski&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section's source code: Childhood and youth"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Józef Piłsudski was born on 5 December 1867 in Zułowo, which is now in <a href="/wiki/Lithuania" title="Lithuania">Lithuania</a> but then was in the <a href="/wiki/Russia" title="Russia">Russian</a> part of <a href="/wiki/Poland" title="Poland">Poland</a>.
