The graduates of the Warsaw Cadet School made a bigger contribution to the warfare of the Republic and its political life. It should be noted that the Cadet School established by Stanislaw Augustus nurtured not only a new generation of competent Polish and Lithuanian officers, but also the leaders of the reconstruction and revival of the Republic. Warsaw cadet graduates were evidence of the country’s independent development and its potential to restructure. Teachers of different nationalities taught in the Lunéville and Warsaw schools where the Lithuanian noblemen studied. Among them were a number of French officers who shared their knowledge and experience providing valuable military education for young people of the Republic. This article examines the impact these schools had on the Lithuanian officers trained there, and the significance of the activities of cadet schools for the entire country, in the military and political sense. In addition to various publications published, data about the Lunéville school found in the French military archives (Service historique de l’armée de terre – SHAT, in the city of Vincennes) was also used in the article. The information about the Warsaw Cadet School was found in the Czartoryski Library in Krakow (Biblioteka Książąt Czartoryskich) and the State Historical Fund in Warsaw (Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych w Warszawie).
