Review of a new book on the struggle for imperial succession in Central Europe after the end of the First World War by German historian J. Böhler. Constructing new national identities in the “borderlands” of three collapsed empires involved political and armed conflict among several national projects. The restored Polish State was at the “center of events”, while no single Polish nation existed in 1918, according to J. Böhler.
