First settlements in the territory

Pre History of Poland: According to Slavic tradition the brothers Lech, Czech and Rus arrived in the lands between the Vistula River and the Oder. On a hill they saw an oak tree with an eagles’ nest and Lech decided to take up residence there, choosing a white eagle for his shield. Czech, on the other hand, went to the South where he would found his country (the Czech Republic) and Rus went to the East, where he would later create Russia.

History of Poland.

Pre History of Ancient Poland
Pre History of Ancient Poland

It is around the sixth century AD.C., after the fall of the Roman Empire, when the barbarian tribes that inhabited the territories north of the border of the Impero moved to the South. This migration is what causes the Slavic tribes that inhabited the region north of the Carpathians to occupy these territories that the barbarians had uninhabited north of what was the ancient Roman Empire. One of these tribes, the Polans, would be the one that settles on the territory of present-day Poland and gives the name to the nation.

Prehistory and Antiquity

History of Poland: In Poland, remains of human presence have been preserved during the Middle Paleolithic and Upper Paleolithic. The culture of Lusatia represents at the end of the Bronze Age an aspect of the prehistoric cultures between the Elbe and Vistula rivers.

This culture, which remained until the fifth century BC. C., raised the material level of polish lands. Around 300 BC. Celtic tribes arrived, who introduced new techniques, and in the second centuries BC and I BC. Ancient civilizations attributable to the West Slavs prospered.

The Slavic tribes participated in the great emigrations, which caused the depopulation and decline of Poland, in whose southern part Huns (fifth century) and Avars (sixth century) made incursions. History of Poland. 

Birth of the Polish State

A History of Poland: Agricultural progress and demographic increase determined its revival between the seventh and ninth centuries. By 875 the Vislans of Krakow were Christianized and subjected to the Great Moravian Empire, and in the tenth century it passed into Bohemian rule.  History of Poland.

The birth of the proto-feudal Polish state was the work of the Polans, established around Gniezno, in Greater Poland, and their independence was secured by the first national dynasty, the Piasts. Mieszko I (960-992), the first historical Piast ruler, allied himself with Bolesław I of Bohemia and stimulated the Christianization of the country. Reconciled with Emperor Otto I, he snatched the Bohemians Silesia and Krakow.

His son and successor, Bolesław I (992-1025), made Poland the most powerful state in Eastern Europe and consolidated its rule over Eastern Pomerania. In addition, he promoted the evangelization of Prussia, established the ecclesiastical organization of Poland and conquered Moravia (1003), Lusatia and Milsko. History of Poland.

The Middle Ages

The History of Poland: In the tenth century is crowned by the Pope of Rome the first Polish sovereign, Mieszko I, belonging to the Piast dynasty and who would reign Poland until 1370. Under the Piast dynasty Poland converts to Christianity, the first capital of the Kingdom is established in Gniezno (Poznan) and it is when the territories of Pomerania, Silesia, Lesser Poland (Krakow) are conquered, occupying an extension similar to the territory of present-day Poland. History of Poland. 

In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the Kingdom is exposed to the incursions of the Tatars and the struggles against the Teutonic knights. As a consequence, the Piast dynasty decided to move the capital of the Kingdom to Krakow. The Kings favored the repopulation of the territories that had been depopulated because of the wars favoring the establishment of German settlers and giving shelter to a large number of Jews who at that time were persecuted throughout Europe. History of Poland. 

This urban growth and intensification of commercial exchanges favors commercial exchanges and urban growth. Thousands of towns and cities were founded, such as Poznan (1253) and Krakow (1257).

Kazimierz the Great is the monarch with whom the era of splendor of Poland begins. Under his reign the University of Krakow was founded in 1364 and Wawel Castle was rebuilt. History of Poland. 

On his death, the Kingdom would be left without a legitimate heir (since Kazimierz had no descendants), so that the Polish aristocratic class decided to unite the Kingdom of Poland to the Duchy of Lithuania giving rise to a Federal State that became known as the Polish-Lithuanian Union (or Republic of the Two Nations) and thus initiating the new dynasty of the Jagiellons. .

The new state would last four centuries and in its time would be the largest territory in Europe spanning from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and occupying part of Ukraine and Belarus. History of Poland. 

This unified Kingdom will fight the Teutons. The Thirteen Years’ War ended with the Battle of Grunwald in which the Teutonic army was defeated and Poland regained for itself the city of Gdansk and the territory of East Prussia after the signing of the Treaty of Torun in 1466. History of Poland.

Unification and divisions (XII-XIV centuries)

His successors witnessed a period characterized by civil strife and wars with neighboring states (Bohemia, Hungary, Kiev) in which conquests and territorial losses alternated. History of Poland. 

The rule of the nobility plunged the country into anarchy and disintegration until the advent of Bolesław III (1102-38), who unified Poland, ended German tutelage, annexed Pomerania and, in conflict with the emperor, extended its borders to the Elbe.

Kingdom of Poland (XIV-XVI centuries)

In 1384 the Polish oligarchy brought to power Princess Hedwig (1384-99), who married Jagiellon, Grand Duke of Lithuania, jointly elected by his marriage, King of Poland (1386-1434). This union broke the political and territorial balance in Eastern Europe and gave the Poles enough strength to confront the Teutons. History of Poland.

The Modern Age

Modern History of Poland: From the sixteenth century begins a time of prosperity for Poland. Once the great wars with the neighboring countries are over, the country has a prosperous economy built around a dynamic bourgeoisie. After the Union of Lublin in 1569, Poland and Lithuania now have a single Sovereign with a decision-making power controlled by Parliament.

The Sejm, or Diet (Parliament), was made up of elected members of the aristocratic class from all over Poland. The noble class in Poland enjoyed great privileges compared to the aristocratic classes of other nations. Despite having a King, Poland was called a “Republic” as it was really an aristocratic Republic because the King was elected by all the deputies of the nobility. Both the King and Poland were regarded as the property of the noble class that had great power in this society. History of Poland. 

History of Poznan Poland

The Renaissance in Poland has its origin in Krakow under the reign of the Jagiellonian family when King Sigismund I commissioned the construction of a chapel in the Royal Castle to two Italian artists, the building of the town hall of Poznan and the construction of Zamosc was built and it became quite common among the wealthy classes to commission buildings and castles from Italian artists.

The spread of Renaissance ideas also brings openness to new humanist influences such as Copernicus and the ideals of the Protestant Reformation. In the year 1573 the equality of religions is proclaimed so that the territory becomes a refuge for heretics who in those days were persecuted throughout Europe: Roman Catholics and Orthodox have 40% of the practitioners each, being the remaining 20% followers of Judaism, Islam and Protestantism. History of Poland.

Seventeenth century: decline and partition of Poland

Due to lack of heirs, the Jagiellon dynasty would end up becoming extinct, so it is up to the nobles to choose who will be the new monarch. The candidates for the throne tried to win the support of the nobility by granting them more and more privileges and powers that would eventually lead to the weakening of the state, as the nobles looked more to their particular interests than to the interests of the nation.

As used to be common at the time, the fact that the monarch was a foreigner did not pose any kind of problem to access the throne, so in the first half of the XVII Poland will be ruled by a Catholic branch of the Vasa of Sweden. History of Poland. 

At this time the plague ravages the country and religious wars follow with the Tatar neighbors, Orthodox (Russians and Ukrainians), the Turks and will end with the great Swedish invasion that devastated the country between 1655 and 1660.

In the eighteenth century and after a long period of decline Poland would come under the rule of the neighboring powers: Prussia, Russia and Austria. In 1772 the first division of the territory of Poland between these three nations takes place. Even so, Poland continues to retain its identity and between the years 1788 and 1792 it is possible to convene the Diet of the four years from which the Constitution of May 3 would come out, promulgated in 1791 and which is the first in Europe of this type and second in the world after that of the United States.

In the year 1792 the second partition of Poland takes place, and in 1795 the third, with which Poland would definitively lose independence for a long period of time. Throughout the nineteenth century there will be uprisings and rebellions against the occupiers with more or less success but the definitive independence will not be achieved until after the First World War. History of Poland.

Twentieth century: Wars, independence and Communism.

At the end of the twentieth century and during World War I, Germany and Austria-Hungary occupied all of what in the past was Polish territory after taking it from Russia.

In 1918 the command of polish territory is transferred by the Germans to Jozef Pilsudski, who would be in charge of forming the new independent nation after more than a century and it will be after the Treaty of Versailles, which ends the First World War, when the sovereignty of the Republic of Poland is recognized internationally.

The agreement defines the new western border of the country and creates a Polish corridor, which was a narrow strip of land that constituted the only outlet to the sea and that years later in World War II would be the pretext that Germany would use to start the war with Poland since it separated its western territory from East Germany (Prussia).

The issue of the delimitation of the eastern borders is another matter. In the years following the end of World War I, the atmosphere in the Eastern European region was somewhat tense and unstable, mainly due to territorial issues. In that region of Europe there were a large number of nationalities and political interests that sought to create their nation, so it was necessary to gain territories and Poland was not going to be less. History of Poland. 

After having wars with Ukraine, Lithuania, Russia and Czechoslovakia it will not be until 1921 after the vistoria in the war against Russia and with the signing of the Treaty of Riga when the eastern limits are defined and would end up incorporating for itself the western part of Ukraine, part of Lithuania (including Vilnius) and other territories of the Sudetenland won from the Czecholovaks.

Even with the signing of treaties and pacts between the countries of the region, in the following years the atmosphere in the area was heating up since the solutions taken in previous years did not satisfy everything to some and not all countries had been happy with what had touched them in the marking of the new borders. History of Poland. 

Thus, on September 1, 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland and, days later, as a result of the alliances signed in the interwar period, France and England declared war on Germany, starting World War II.

Later the Soviet Union enters the conflict and, in theory allied with Poland, invades the country from the East while the Nazis enter from the West. Germans and Soviets divide Poland and, because of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, at least during the initial period of the war they will not attack each other. As the war progresses and the issue intensifies, that will be the moment when the pact or anything is no longer worth and that is when the Russians and Nazis show their teeth and begin to give each other firewood based on good.

At the end of the war and after the victory of the Allies, Poland fell under the rule of the Soviet Union. With the new borders Poland lost its Eastern territories (what is now western Ukraine) including the important city of L’wów and Lithuania but instead gained a part of East Prussia, territories and cities such as WroclawPoznan or Sczeczin and got more kilometers of sea gained from Germany.

For more than 30 years Poland will be under the rule of the communist regime imposed and supported by the Soviet Union. Although it was not a communism as extreme as the one in the USSR, all opposition to the regime was eliminated and any protest was put down.

Still, the years of communism will be remembered for the workers’ acts of protest and the role the Church played in supporting the church of those who opposed the regime. It is in the 80s when the revolts intensify to the point that the country came to be in a state of siege and Russia about to enter the country with its tanks. History of Poland.

Democracy and the European Union

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 would mark the symbolic end of the experience of communism at least in Europe. The Warsaw Pact is dissolved and after a period of economic stabilization and transition to a free market economy Poland begins to enter international institutions such as NATO in 1999 and in 2004 in the European Union and with plans to adopt the Euro in 2012.

Today Poland is a Parliamentary Republic where people like to do basically the same as people from other countries: some give for sports, others like to drink beer, others are dedicated to art, to work, to pay for a flat, others download movies from the internet, etc in short, as everywhere, there is everything and should never be generalized in extreme and less without knowing .

Polish women generally dress modestly, giving preference to practical everyday things. Young people will prefer rather informal youthful clothes of a sporty type, which unfortunately will hide all the advantages of a feminine figure and which are quite popular. We notice that the younger generation does not follow fashion like the older generation. Apparently, Poland in this regard is trying to be like its western neighbors.
