Piłsudski's colonels,[1][2] or the colonels' regime[3][4] (in Polish called simply "the colonels"[5]), dominated the government of the Second Polish Republic from 1926 to 1939.[4] In some contexts, the term refers primarily to the final period (1935–1939), which followed the death of their mentor and patron, Józef Piłsudski.[3]
