The Polish socialists in the Teschen Silesia region were a part of the Galician Social Democracy in Austria-Hungary Empire before the year 1918. They were the Polish national-aware party and in the World War I supported central powers in their fight against Russia. The Polish socialists were ardent Poles and shared all the basic Polish conceptions regarding the Teschen area as a long-lasting Polish territory. The conclusion of the history of the Polish socialists in Czechoslovakia is that they were polish patriots at first and then anything else. Poles who supposed the socialist program as the most important became communists in 1921.
