“Disputed” is not accurate, and “Polish victory” was the result of the war

Yes, some historians say that it wasn’t entirely a Polish victory. Yes, Poland didn’t achieve all it wanted and did receive some losses. However, the war was generally a Polish victory; Poland preserved its independence and acquired a significant portion of territory. Even Lenin (who isn’t really a humble person to say the least) agreed that the war was a Soviet defeat.

And in case you think I’m making this stuff up, here is a source that affirms a “decisive Polish victory” in the war. LordOfWalruses (talk) 00:47, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
