Józef Piłsudski
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Józef Klemens Piłsudski (December 5, 1867 – May 12, 1935) was an important leader of Poland.
From 1795 to 1918 Poland wasn't independent. Piłsudski was a soldier and one of people, who made Poland independent again. Then for a short time he was a leader, later there were two presidents: Gabriel Narutowicz and Stanisław Wojciechowski. Poland's situation wasn't good and politicians argued a lot. Many people, especially soldiers, wanted Piłsudski back, so he told Wojciechowski to resign. When he didn't want to, Piłsudki made a four-day revolt in Warsaw and took power. Parliament elected Ignacy Mościcki to be a new president and he was Piłsudski's man. Together they changed constitution and made a lot of other changes.
