The Polish War, sometimes referred to as the Cook Coast War, was a war in North-East Australia between New South Wales and the Duchy of Warsaw that lasted from 1911 until 1915. The war began over the New South Welsh settlements of Rockhampton and Mackay that were apparently encroaching on Polish possessions in Cape York and the Northern Cook Coast. After five years of bloodshed, compounded by the use of modern weaponry and transportation, the Poles won a decisive victory. The war resulted in the New South Welsh border being pushed back to Moreton Bay, and Rockhampton and Mackay being ceded to Warsaw.
