How could the Polish problem be solved without any conflict ?
Russia can't grant autonomy to Poles since it will encourage Poles in Germany and Austro-Hungary, and Poles would claim lands seen as Russian by Russia. Conflict with Germany.
Germany can't establish a succesfull puppet Polish state because Poles would demand at least Poznan and wouldn't be loyal. Russia can use Poles against Germany promising to unite them.
Austro-Hungary seems the most possible with union of Galicia and former Congress Poland, but they would demands lands in Germany and Russia and turning into a full fledged state.

So is there any possiblity of solving that situation for partitioning powers without conflict and without resistance from the Polish population ?
Also was there any possibiliy of Polish state becoming independent without WW1 ?
