Abstract

The issuing of the 5th Of November Act (also called Two Emperors Act) in 1916 was further evidence of the total character of the First World War. All participants of the war desperately tried to overcome a deadlock in trench warfare. What is not astonishing, following the general line of their policy, both belligerent camps interpreted this document completely differently. This was reflected in cartoons as well. Propagandists of the Central Powers presented the decision of both emperors as an act of historical importance, proof of the selfless friendship of its authors towards Poles. On the other side, Entente Powers saw in the 5th Of November Act an illegal and cynical attempt to cheat Poles and force them to join the military efforts of the Central Powers.
