Maria Szumska Dabrowska about Polish Settlers in Bosnia 1935

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the conditions under which Polish newcomers settled in Bosnia-Herzegovina between 1890 and 1946. By encouraging foreign settlement, the government of Austria-Hungary wanted to enhance the economic conditions in Bosnia-Herzegovina after the annexation of that region. A portion of foreign settlers in Bosnia came from Poland. Most of the Poles inhabited the following districts: Prnjavor, Derventa, Banja Luka, Bosanska Gradiška, Bosanski Novi and Prijedor. During World War II a number of them temporarily settled in Slavonia. In 1946 there was an organized transfer through which the Polish settlers from Bosnia returned to their homeland Poland.
