WWI was 1914 to 1918. The first population dip on the chart started in 1910. That makes very little sense.
Which is interesting in itself because there was no Poland before WWI, The original duchy/kingdom of Poland created by Duke Mieszko in 996 became the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1569.then was split up and divided between Austria, Prussia, and Russia in 1795. All the history books I've ever read admit the best they can do is a rough population estimate. What is now Poland was a dumping ground for Russian Jews (the pale of settlement) from the partition until WWI. Which is why so much of the Holocaust happened in Poland. Three million Polish jews were killed vs 130,000 German jews. The number for non jewish poles is usually accepted at 1.9 million, but some sources say 3 million. The difference seems to be the opinion who was civilian or not like resistance fighters.
Best guesses I've read i(and I;ve read a lot of eastern European history) for the general area of Poland is 4 million or so at the partition up to 30 million or so at the outbreak of WWI and 25 million or so at the end of WWI. I have no idea what the 1910 spike is on the chart
Never trust unattributed sources.
Pretty dramatic population falls during WWI and WWII. A lot of WWII's decline was the murder of the 3M or so Polish Jews, but in America we are not taught the fact that 3M ethnic Poles were murdered by the Nazis as well.

Europe’s native population is not just aging, it is disappearing. The political and financial establishments rely on false official projections. Despite the UN Population Division prognoses that fertility rates will soon rebound to replacement rates, such a phenomenon is nowhere to be seen. In all European countries native populations have extremely low fertility and they are in full decline, and there are no signs that this will change anytime soon. Whatever official statisticians try to make you believe, an increase in fertility and the growth of populations in countries like France, the UK and Sweden is 100% migration related. These are non-refutable facts: plain mathematics. For now about 50% of the migrants in Western Europe come from Central Europe, however that will not be the case for long. Gefira is one of the few research groups that have the capacity to do our own computer-based projections and our findings are disturbing.
Population in Poland has been and certainly will be decreasing because of the low fertility rate (1,36 in 2016) and long-lasting emigration. The Polish state-run Central Statistical Office (GUS) predicted such situation but its forecasts include not only emigration but also immigration mainly from Ukraine and even with people moving to Poland the situation does not look good. The Gefira calculations, excluding migration, forecast 30 million native Poles in 2050 and 13,5 million in 2100.
