Polish National Organization () was a Polish political organisation formed by Józef Pià Âsudski after the split of Supreme National Committee (Naczelny Komitet Narodowy) on 5 September 1914. NKN, heavily influenced by the Austrian government, vied with more independent Pià Âsudski over the control of Polish armed forces. When ordered to limit recruitment to his Legions, Pià Âsudski disobeyed those orders and created the PON. Temporarily supported in this by the Germans, soon (after German military failure to capture Warsaw) Pià Âsudski was forced to subjugate PON to NKN.
