Historical Overview

Poland has a long and complex history, with origins dating back to the medieval Piast dynasty. It was a powerful kingdom during the Middle Ages and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the early modern period. Poland experienced partitions and periods of foreign rule during the 18th century but regained independence in 1918. During World War II, Poland was heavily impacted, with significant loss of life and the destruction of many cities. After the war, Poland became a communist state under Soviet influence but later transitioned to democracy in 1989. It joined the European Union in 2004, marking a significant step in its modern history.
