Poland (Polish: Polska), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska), is a country in Central Europe. Poland is bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania to the east; and the Baltic Sea and Kaliningrad Oblast, a Russian exclave, to the north. The total area of Poland is 312,679 km² (120,728 sq mi),[1] making it the 69th largest country in the world and 9th in Europe. Poland has a population of over 38.5 million people, which makes it the 33rd most populous country in the world.[2]

The establishment of a Polish state is often identified with the adoption of Christianity by its ruler Mieszko I in 966 (see Baptism of Poland), when the state covered territory similar to that of present-day Poland. Poland became a kingdom in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented a long association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by uniting to form the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Commonwealth collapsed in 1795, and its territory was partitioned between Prussia, Russia, and Austria. Poland regained its independence in 1918 after World War I but lost it again in World War II, occupied by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Poland lost over six million citizens in World War II, and emerged several years later as a communist country within the Eastern Bloc under the control of the Soviet Union. In 1989 communist rule was overthrown and Poland became what is constitutionally known as the "Third Polish Republic". Poland is a unitary state made up of sixteen voivodeships (Polish: województwo). Poland is also a member of the European Union, NATO and OECD.

  • @kanssasi  if it wouldnt for Poland you german cunts would be all under ottoman rule now, how come that Poland was the first one to stop expansion of 3rd reich on west. We would slap nazi bitch that time in first months but russians stabbed us in back we were real fighters not as brits or french sitting in trench like fuckin retards.

  • zagrod you own

  • you sexy man

  • Political discussions on TF2 video.

    Lol.

  • Instead of reading some propaganda crap, maybe even Mein Kamp, read wikipedia or some more reliable sources By the way its rather hillarious movie but you took it for serious.

    I bow in front of your maturity.

  • Why was it so?

    Beacuse we were so weak yes?

    Polish were so weak that eventually teutonic Grand Master or maybe already Prussian Prince Albreht Hohenzollern paid homage to Polish king in 1525!!!

    Indeed, it was a sign of weakness.

  • Fact is that Polish kicked Russians asses so many times before 18 th century, they avoided pitched battles like devil holy water.

    Read how many crushing victories Polish scored on Russians.

    As for Germans, who stopped your advance to the East? Aliens, dwarfs?

    You consistently moved eastwards since Middleages what was a direct cause of polabian slavs to die out. But for some accident you didnt move further after subduing Polabians?

  • Poland was beaten by Russians or Germans by centuries?hmm

    Learn history man, you cant say so throughout 1000 years. Russia or united Germany are not even 1000 years old.

    Last 3 centuries were characterized by your domination but its not 1000 years.

    You dont only lnow history but also mathematics.

  • Polish military history? Seriously, what the fuck.

    Polakistan never managed to build up a decend army within 1000 years, or why is it that they've been beaten up by Russians and Germans for centuries? Being conquered time after time in less than a month, that's the glorious thing about Polish history. Weak whining morons, you deserve the shit you get ;-)
