Although the Republic of Poland formally regained its independence in November 1918, this was only the beginning of the efforts and struggles for the final shape of its borders. Pomerania was one of the areas that remained part of the German Reich for over a year. Most of this region before the partitions, as Royal Prussia, remained under the sovereign power of the Polish king. As a result of the Paris Peace Conference, convened after the end of the Great War, part of this area was granted to the Republic. The incorporation of the lands granted to Poland by the Treaty of Versailles (including part of Pomerania) in early 1920 was officially referred to as „occupation”. The meaning of the term was different at the time. It was characterized by much less pejorative connotations than it was established during the subsequent World War II. This article presents the preparations for the above-mentioned „occupation”, the projects for its introduction and the circumstances of the course of action. Particular attention has been paid to selected aspects, especially the reactions of the civilian population (Polish and German) to the presence in Pomerania of Polish troops, that occupied the designated areas according to the established plan, although not entirely in a bloodless manner. The then-understanding of the term „occupation” was characterized separately. The selection of the problems discussed in the article results from the fact that they are not – contrary to appearances – widely known, although such a view may be provided by the already numerous literature on the recovery of Pomerania.
