Description
Poland has defended its faith, its national identity, and its freedom since the early Middle Ages. At times a multinational empire, the nation had been wiped off the map by Prussia, Russia, and Austria for 125 years at the end of the 18th century and again by Hitler and Stalin in World War II. Free after decades of Soviet and Communist rule in 1989, Poland today is free and prosperous, a bulwark of NATO and the EU.
