AMERICAN POLES ON THE FRONTLINES OF THE GREAT WAR: CONTEMPORARY SYMBOL AND CONTENT

Summary/Abstract: The premise of this paper is to collect in a systematic way the existing research findings related to documenting the participation of Poles and Americans of Polish origin fighting in the ranks of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). The primary objective of the paper is to analyze the historical,military,andpoliticaldimensionsof this participation. The paper is a study in histori- cal politics, which translates into contemporary realities and concepts of political solutions. The following methods have been used as research tools: the historical, comparative, and statistical methods, as well as an analysis of the content of the press, in particular the Polish-American press. The subject matter required specifically a prob- lem-oriented approach, but also a chronological one, documenting political and social processes directly related to the war, occurring after its end and translating into contemporary events. This paper is a broader exploration of this issue.
