The First Period
Themain factors bchind the
foundation of the Polish state
were indisenous forces suhiorł
to various cxternal influenccs
and also absorbins ahen ethnic
elements The early Polish com-munit- y had already been dev-elopin- g for sevcral eenturics on the sanie territories At several
stages however it was subject
to considerablc shocks which
impeded progress Particularly
impoitant for the fonnation of
the Polish state were tlie first
seven centunes of our era dur-in- g which Polish territories ex-perien- cer treniendous changes
of fortu nes Neverthelcss thc
level of economic life inereased
substantially and old social
fornis eic discarded The feu-d- al system' struggling against all
kinds of internal and cxternal
obstacles becamę thc dnving
foice behind these changes
Particularly cnicial for the
nacent -- Polish state were thc
years between 850 or a little
earlicr and 9G6 Fortunateh- - for
the voung stntc tlie ork of
erecting ils foundations was in
the hands of thc talentcd some-time- s
amazingly brilhant rulers
ot tlie Piast dynasty whose lives
and work are described in writ-- l ten sources Their task was com
pleted under difficult extcrna]
conditions sińce the aggressive
oerman leudal barons began to
take a vcry direct interest in
some ofthe proto-Polis- h lands
It was thanks to Mieszko I's
dexterity tlie exccllent organ
ization of lds armed forces and
above all his pcrsplcacity in
ensuring proper conditions of
economic dcvclopnient that ii
was possible to frustralc tlie
plans of the East-Germa- n feudal
barons Mieszko did not conteni
hiniself with consolidating the
country with Ihe help of a net
work of wcll-fortific- d settlc
ments but also promoted tlie
dcvelopment of towns A con
siderablc building "progranimc
including a inimbcr of stonc
cdifices was pul into cffccl on
an inereasing scalę This com
bined with other undertaking
by Polish rulers had a signi- -
flcant influence on thc dcvelop
riicnt of thc eńrly Polish culture

out of his purse for various
buildings sen'cd later as an ex-amp- le to nativc magnates In
this way Poland was ablc rapidly
to join the ranks of countrics
which were folloring thc gen- erał tendency of European cul-ture
U ought to be emphasi7cd
that this process started long
Iwfore thc times of Mieszko I
It uas also important for the
Polish stato thal the nativc
population attahicd relatively
quicklv a high IcacI in a mim-be- r of oceupations dccisivc for
the economic position of thc
country U is from this point of
vicw that we havc to consider
thc role of llie people both in
thc formation of the Polish state
and in ts later history Pinallv
the uinfication of different lands
with siimlar tradilions of dcvel-opmc- nt and pohlical life madę
ii possible for the Polish nation
to emerge as a homogeneous
enlity
Tliere are still many prohlems
connected with tlie beginnings
of the Polish state and the cul-tura- !
dcYclopnient of its in- -
iiahitanLs which rcmain to be
studied During this work I havc
often had to lesort to working
hypotliescs Sonic of them per-hnp- s
too farfetched particularly
those relating to political organ-i7ation- s preceding thc founda-tion
of the Polish state may hae to be revised Nonc tlie
less thc facts at our disposnl
bear out thc contention that thc
emcrgcncc of thc Polish stale
was not accidental but thc re-su- it
of a long historical process
of niainly internal dcvelonmcnt
Owing to the circumstances
w hen tlie Polish state was first
mentioned in written sources
it was considered to be vcrv
nowerful and even according to
Ibrahim Ibn Jacob the most
powcrful among thc Slavs This
scems an exaggeration unlcss
this remark is lakcn to refer to
western Slavs Tlicie is no doubl

Poland bccame an im-portant
