 Poland - MSN Encarta
The name Polska (Poland), applied in the early 11th century, comes from an ancient Slavic tribe known as the Polanie (field or plains dwellers), who settled in the lowlands between the Odra (Oder) and Wisła (Vistula) rivers sometime after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, Poland, then united with Lithuania, was one of the major European powers under the Jagiellonian dynasty.
When the dynasty came to an end in 1572, Poland entered a long period of decline, culminating in the partition of the country between Russia, Austria, and Prussia in 1772, 1793, and 1795.

 News: Poland: Floods - Jul 1997, Poland: Receding Waters In Klodzko Reveal Hard Times Ahead
Klodzko, Poland; 21 July 1997 (RFE/RL) - The damage caused by this month's flooding in southwestern Poland is devastating -- 48 people dead, 365,000 hectares of land inundated, 50 towns and 280 villages flooded by the Odra and Nysa rivers and their tributaries.
In Klodzko, an area surrounded on three sides by mountains forming the border with the Czech Republic, the high water mark of mud left behind by the receding floodwaters is four meters above the sidewalks in some streets between the train station and the old hilltop town.
Poor communications infrastructure and excessive centralization of authority at the regional level appear to be contributing factors to the lack of advance warning of the flood.
