Jazep Varonka’s Government of the BPR: Internal and External Activities

Summary/Abstract: On 9 March 1918 the Belarusian People’s Republic was proclaimed and on 25 March its independence was declared. Th e fi rst government of the BPR was headed by Jazep Varonka. Th e government’s activities were limited due to German occupation of the territories where it existed and German vision of it as merely a national representation body. Th e most signifi cant achievements of the BPR government are activities in the fi eld of culture and education as well as attempts to establish local administration. Alongside with this, the government did not succeed in winning the international recognition of the independence. It failed to create Belarusian armed forces which would be able to establish the control over the territory of the proclaimed BPR.
