After a Central Powers Victory in WWI, what would end up happening to Poland? Germany, Austria-Hungary, Lithuania, Ukraine and the Polish all had conflicting claims and plans for the fate of Poland.
A few questions in particular I am interested are:
What would the Government of Poland be?
What would be the final, Post-War Borders of Poland?
If Poland were a Puppet State, what aspects of Polish Government, Military, and Industry would be under control of the Central Powers?
If Germany annexed the "Polish Border Strip" would they actually remove all of the Poles and Jews inhabiting the area to pave way for German Settlement?
What would happen to the remaining Poles in Germany's Eastern Provinces (Posen in particular)
Would Austria have been able to annex Poland, and merge it with Galicia and Lodomeria, making the new entity the "Third Monarchy" of Austria-Hungary as the Emperor's of Austria-Hungary wished to?
What would happen to Galicia and Lodomeria if Austria-Hungary does not annex Poland? would the Kingdom be partitioned between Austria and Poland (Eastern Galicia remaining with Austria), given to Poland, kept entirely by Austria, or something else all-together?
Would Germany be able to take control of all of Poland and "Germanize" the Population to make Poland a German Province like some planned?
