Polish National Organization
Polish National Organization was a Polish political organisation formed by Józef Piłsudski after the split of Supreme National Committee on 5 September 1914. NKN, heavily influenced by the Austrian government, vied with more independent Piłsudski over the control of Polish armed forces. When ordered to limit recruitment to his Legions, Piłsudski disobeyed those orders and created the PON. Temporarily supported in this by the Germans, soon Piłsudski was forced to subjugate PON to NKN.
