'''Poland''' is the leading [[pro-life]] nation in [[Europe]], located on its eastern side. It has suffered many hardships before and after [[World War I]] and [[World War II]], disappearing as a nation in 1875 and re-appearing in 1918. Emerging as a nation again after World War I, Poland was partitioned between [[Nazi Germany]] and the [[Soviet Union]] at the start of World War II. Attaining nationhood again at the end of the war, Poland was suppressed behind the [[Iron Curtain]] as a Soviet satellite controlled by a [[communist]] regime.

Poland is the most [[conservative]] nation in the [[European Union]], and supports the policies of [[United States]] President [[Trump]] far more than any other European country. Poland chose to purchase [[natural gas]] for its [[energy]] needs from the U.S. rather than from [[Russia]].

Poland finally became liberated from the communist rule in late 1980s, specifically July 4, 1989 (the date of the elections won by the ''Solidarność'', or ''Solidarity'' movement).  [[Pope John Paul II]] was from Poland and played a major part in bringing down [[communist|communism]] in Poland. Among the nations under Soviet domination, Poland was unique in continuing to keep its strong [[Catholic]] roots even in the face of persecution.  The [[capital]] of Poland is [[Warsaw]].
