	Poland - LoveToKnow 1911
		It is to him that Poland owed the important acquisition of the greater part of Red Russia, or Galicia, which enabled her to secure her fair share of the northern and eastern trade.
		Poland, as the next neighbour of Hungary, was more seriously affected than any other European power by this catastrophe, but her politicians differed as to the best way of facing it.
		All the.more disquieting was the internal condition of the country, due mainly to the invasion of Poland by the Reformation, and the coincidence of this invasion with an internal revolution of a quasi-democratic character, which aimed at substituting the rule of the szlachta for the rule of the senate.

	Lexicon: Poland
		Between the two world wars, Poland bordered in the west on Germany, in the south on Czechoslovakia and Romania, in the east on the Soviet Union, and in the north on Latvia and Lithuania.
		Poland began to expand in the east mainly when it established links with Lithuania at the end of the fourteenth century; the two countries united in 1569.
		Poland's policy, designed to protect its independent status, did not take into account the fact that Hitler was ready, at best, to accept the existence of Poland as a satellite state, and that the revision of Poland's border was only a question of time.

	Poland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Josef Pilsudski became the new leader of Poland and during the Russian Civil War his army made considerable gains and the Soviet-Polish Treaty of Riga (1921) left Poland in control of substantial areas of Lithuania, Belorussia and the Ukraine.
		Poland was the obvious choice as it was in the east and included areas of land taken from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles.
		Our obligations to Poland will of course be honoured; not only because our pledged word has been given, but also because it is now universally understood that something of much greater significance is at stake than the determination of one frontier or even the freedom of one people, however brave.

	Greater Poland (Wielkopolska)
		Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) is a historical region in western and central Poland, occupying the basins of the Warta, part of the middle Oder and the lower Vistula.
		Greater Poland was the central part of the principality ruled from Gniezno by Duke Mieszko I and King Boleslaus the Brave (Boles³aw Chrobry).
		The most interesting and valuable landscapes in Greater Poland are protected by two national parks: the 7584-hectare Wielkopolska (Greater Polish) National Park established in 1957 and Poland's newest national park, set up on 1 July 2001, the 7955-hectare Uj¶cie Warty (Warta Confluence) National Park.

	Poland - THE CENTRALLY PLANNED ECONOMY
		In 1956, after workers' riots in Poznan, a general uprising was averted only by a change in the leadership of the communist party, the Polish United Workers' Party (Polska Zjednoczona Partia Robotnicza--PZPR).
		Poland was relatively late in introducing this so-called "new development strategy," but it eventually went further in this direction than its Comecon allies.
		The deteriorating situation in the consumer goods market resulted in a series of watershed events: a wave of strikes that led to the formation of the Solidarity union in August 1980, a third enforced change in the communist leadership in September 1980, and the imposition of martial law in December 1981.

	Warsaw Uprising: Colin Powell
		Thus, the insurgents of the Warsaw Uprising, who were left unassisted in 1944, were also abandoned in terms of remembrance.
		It was not until the Poles freed themselves in 1989 that it was possible to erect a memorial to the insurgents, to their courage and their sacrifice, on the edge of the historical center of Warsaw.
		With Poland's accession to NATO and the European Union the legacy of the Warsaw Uprising was fulfilled, a free and independent Poland that finds its security and sovereignty in alliances of equals.

	The GULLY \| Gay Mundo \| Virginal Boys
		For the past year or so, led by an army of politicians of all stripes, priests, and media moguls, Poland has been on a war footing to save the virginal boy-nation from a danger greater than subjugation by czarist Russia in the 19th century and Nazism and Communism in the 20th century.
		The hysteria sweeping Poland, stoked by the Catholic Church, the big media and much of the political establishment, was really about the imagined loss of the national soul.
		Although public education in Poland is ostensibly free, it is expensive for people here to drive their children to secondary schools, have them attend classes when they are needed in the fields, and buy them costly books.

	The Industrial Development of Poland: Chpt. 2
		For Poland, the great significance of the tariff reform of 1851 lay first of all in the fact that completely free export trade to Russia was now possible.
		In 1862, Poland was connected with St. Petersburg, in 1866 with Wolynien, White Russia, and Podolien, in 1870 with Moscow, in 1871 with Kiev, in 1877 with southern Russia.
		The third factor that contributed to the industrial revolution was the abolition of serfdom in Russia in 1861 and in Poland in 1864 and the resulting transformation of agriculture.

	Mazovia (Mazowsze) and Podlassia (Podlasie)
		Mazowsze (Mazovia) is an historical and ethnographic region in central Poland, straddling the Vistula River.
		Its natural extension is the Podlassian Lowland at the confluence of the Narew and Biebrza Rivers and the basin of the middle Bug.
		One of the original edifices is Sigismund's (the Sigismundian) Column in the centre of the courtyard in front of the Castle (Plac Zamkowy, Castle Square), one of the oldest secular monuments in Poland (1644), depicting King Sigismund III Vasa who moved the country's capital from Cracow to Warsaw in 1597.

	Poland
		Poland now has a largely homogeneous population, its percentage of national or ethnic minorities being one of the lowest in Europe, officially estimated at between 2-3 per cent of the population by the Interior Ministry, and unofficially at between 3.5-4.5 per cent.
		The size of minorities in contemporary Poland is difficult to determine with precision since, in the post-war period, censuses have not included questions pertaining to ethnic or national identity (a 1998 law prohibits the collection of information about, among other things, a person's ethnic origin, religious affiliation or membership in religious or political organizations).
		The Lemkos (sometimes referred to as Ruthenians or Rusyns) are a distinct ethnic group that inhabited the northern slopes of the Carpathian Mountains for centuries (in the south-east, near the Ukrainian border).

	The Holocaust
		The Jews of Poland were subjected to summary massacre by the regular army and by the SS; captured Jewish soldiers were executed as a matter of course.
		The Greater German declaration of war against the Soviet Union in May of 1941 and the subsequent German eastward offensive opened up a new radical phase of Nazi anti-Semitic persecution.
		In response, Greater Germany invaded the Baltic States; Lithuania was annexed by Greater Germany and its Jews promptly deported to the Polish death camps, while Latvia was placed under Greater German military administration so that the Einsatzgrüppen could shoot Latvian Jews without fear of interruption.

	Jewish History in Poland, 1939-1945
		It certainly seems to be true, however, in the opinion of Poles living in the eastern provinces of pre-war Poland, that the fall of Poland and the tragedies which accompanied the occupation were less keenly felt by the Jewish population than they were by their Polish neighbors.
		Despite the difficulties of communication, news from the eastern territories did reach central Poland, and it was reported in the Polish and the Jewish underground press, the latter being distributed in the Warsaw ghetto.
		It was well known throughout Poland that conditions in the poverty-stricken, disease-ridden ghettos gradually killed the physically weak and the poor, and these factors were discussed in the reports that were sent out to the Polish Government exiled in London and by the Polish underground press, which had a wide circulation.

	The Warsaw Uprising of 1944, Part 2
		The characteristic sign of airy war is that it turns in the less degree against soldier, especially to the insurrectionary soldier who is dispersed, in the greater degree against civil population.
		In Poland were different plunders - in Germany the hunger and the bombs from allied aeroplanes.
		Poland and all cultured nations understand this declaration completely otherwise, because they know that Soviet Russia wages the war with Germans exclusively for its aims.

	THE WARSAW UPRISING
		The uprising was to halt the implementation of German plans to convert Warsaw into a Stalingrad-like fortress, and also to prevent the Germans from killing or driving out inhabitants and razing the city to the ground.
		Towards the end of the uprising, Soviet aircraft dropped some supplies for the insurgents, but it was a token gesture: the drops were executed without parachutes and the weapons were so damaged by the impact that, in most cases, they were unusable.
		Throughout the uprising, the Poles' treatment of German prisoners, including the wounded, was in conformance with the Geneva convention.

		In Berlin, the Prussian capital, crowds of people gathered, particularly in the beer gardens and outside the gates of town (or the royal palace), their demands culminating in an "address to the king".
		By modeling their factories after those of Britain, heavy research, and cartel systems that gave larger amounts of liquid capital, Germany was able to rise to a greater degree of power than those countries around it.
