History

The party was established in Congress Poland in 1917 as the "United Party", but was renamed PZL in 1918 after several members defected to the Polish People's Party "Piast". [1] The party contested the January 1919 elections to elect the first Sejm of the Second Polish Republic. It received 3.8% of the vote, winning 35 seats. [2]

However, it split in August 1919, with some members joining Narodowe Zjednoczenie Ludowe and others joining Polish People's Party "Wyzwolenie". [3]
