THE HISTORY OF POLAND

Poland was established as a state under the Piast dynasty, which ruled the country between the 10th and 14th centuries.

The period of the Jagiellonian dynasty in the 14th–16th centuries brought close ties with the Lithuania. It culminated in the establishment of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1569, one of Europe's largest countries.

The existence of the Commonwealth ended in 1795 after a series of invasions and partitions of Polish territory carried out by the Russian Empire in the east, the Kingdom of Prussia in the west and the Habsburg Monarchy in the south.

The independent Republic of Poland was established in 1918 after the end of WWI.
