Poland is a country in Central Europe and it’s bordered by Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, the Baltic Sea, Kaliningrad Oblast and a Russian exclave.

History:  The worst moment in the history of Poland was the 2nd World War. The Sanacja movement controlled Poland until the start of World War II in 1939.
During World War I, all the Allies agreed on the reconstitution of Poland that United States President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed in Point 13 of his Fourteen Points. A total of 2 million Polish troops fought with the armies of the three occupying powers, and 450,000 died. After the armistice with Germany in November 1918, Poland regained its independence as the Second Polish Republic. It reaffirmed its independence after a series of military conflicts, the most notable being the Polish–Soviet War (1919–1921) when Poland inflicted a defeat on the Red Army at the Battle of Warsaw, an event which is considered to have ultimately halted the advance of Communism into Europe and forced Lenin to rethink his objective of achieving global socialism. Nowadays the event is often referred to as the 'Miracle at the Vistula'.
Present-day Poland:
Bronisław Komorowski is the current presindent.
Now, like other countries, Poland suffered some economic and social problems and that makes some other difficult things for the correct operations. But there is also numerous improvements in human rights, like the freedom of speech. In 1991, Poland became a member of the Visegrád Group and joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
