Władysław Eugeniusz Sikorski (May 20, 1881 – July 4, 1943; pronounced ) was a Polish military and political leader. He was born in the southern Polish town of Tuszów Narodowy, which at the time was part of Austria-Hungary, one of Poland's three partitioners. Before World War I, he became a founder and member of several underground organizations that promoted the cause of Polish independence. He fought with distinction in the Polish Legions during the First World War, then in the newly-created Polish Army during the Polish-Soviet War (1919 to 1921). In the latter war he played a prominent role in the decisive Battle of Warsaw, when Soviet forces, expecting an easy final victory, were surprised and crippled by the Polish counterattack.
