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?
