Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes the main trends in the development of coal industry in Central Europe during 1919-1929. The case study refers to Poland. The author analyzes the situation for the main coal producers in Poland. The author shows that this country has hardly been able to restore production, especially because until 1922 Germany still belonged to Silesia. After 1922 the situation changed radically. Poland has become a coal exporter. Internally, increased production led to a fairly obvious change to the country's economic structure with long-term developmental effects.
