POLAND

This Central European nation had an extremely troublesome history rising to the level of major regional power (in confederation with Lithuania) in the early 16^th century, falling to the total loss of independence some 250 years later and painfully rebuilding its freedom during the 20^th century.

During the 20th century, Poland had several territorial disputes with her neighbors and conflicts with her ethnic minorities going back to history. As of today, most of them have been successfully resolved to greater or less degree.
