From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Poland /ˈpoʊlənd/ (help·info) (Polish: Polska), officially the Republic of Poland (Rzeczpospolita Polska), is a country in Central Europe. Poland is bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania to the east; and the Baltic Sea and Kaliningrad Oblast, a Russian exclave, to the north. The total area of Poland is 312,679 square kilometres (120,726 sq mi), making it the 69th largest country in the world and the 9th largest in Europe. Poland has a population of over 38 million people, which makes it the 34th most populous country in the world and the most populous Eastern European Member State of the EU. The establishment of a Polish state is often identified with the adoption of Christianity by its ruler Mieszko I, in 966 (see Baptism of Poland), when the state covered territory similar to that of present-day Poland. In 1025, Poland became a kingdom and in 1569, it cemented a long association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, by signing the Union of Lublin, forming the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Commonwealth collapsed in 1795 and Poland's territory was partitioned among the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire, and Austria. Poland regained its independence as the Second Polish Republic in 1918, after World War I, but was later occupied by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II. Poland lost over six million citizens in World War II, emerging several years later as the socialist People's Republic of Poland within the Eastern Bloc, under strong Soviet influence. During the Revolutions of 1989, communist rule was overthrown and Poland became what is constitutionally known as the "Third Polish Republic". Poland is a unitary state, made up of sixteen voivodeships (Polish: województwo). Poland is also a member of the European Union, NATO, United Nations, World Trade Organization, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). From Wikipedia under the

Why did Germany attack Poland in the first place? which countries were the last remaining to end the war? Asked by saphia321 - Wed May 28 18:26:52 2008 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. The second world war began on September 19, 1931, when Japan invaded Manchuria. (People often say the German invasion of Poland as the start. WW2 also included Japanese expansionism in the Pacific, so the invasion of China is the more accurate beginning.) You have the correct ending. At the end, it was pretty much Japan vs. everyone else, with the U.S. doing most of the fighting. (The Soviet Union declared war on Japan just before the surrender.) Germany invaded Poland to expand the Fatherland's territory. The whole moral justification behind the Nazi expansionism is to provide more living space (called liebesraum) for the Germanic race. Part of Poland had been germany in the past, so there was a historical justification, also. … [cont.] Answered by Year of the Dragon - Wed May 28 18:47:03 2008 What's the best way to travel on a budget in Ukraine and Poland?
Q. A month from now, I have a week in which to see western Ukraine and eastern Poland. I want to especially see Odessa and then go to Bialowieza National Park in Poland. If I can, I also want to see Chisinau, Moldova. I'd rather use trains than flights, as I have about $500 to spend total. I have to start from and end up back in Budapest. Does anyone have good suggestions for how to see this less-visited part of Eastern Europe without spending a gigantic amount of money? Specifically, it's hard to find any information at all on the rail service around here. If anyone really knows much about traveling in Ukraine or has been to Bialowieza, that would be so great. Thanks. Asked by Danubius - Wed Sep 26 13:40:08 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you want to use the trains in this part of the world you better speak the languages. I live in Ukraine and would be VERY hard pressed to buy a ticket, read it, board, etc. without my girlfriend (who speaks Ukrainian). I can do well in Hungary because I speak Hungarian, but unlike airports, where all announcements are in the local language and English, all announcements in train stations are only in the local language. There is also a problem with crime on trains in Eastern Europe, especially since you're wanting to go to the "less-visited" parts of the country alone. In Ukraine, for example, you should buy a compartment with a door that locks, but that means purchasing tickets for at least one other bed (for which you will need… [cont.] Answered by Taivo - Sat Sep 29 12:41:27 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Poland" Poland is a country in Central Europe.
