'''Poland''' is a [[Central Europe]]an country and the leading [[pro-life]] nation in [[Europe]]. It has suffered many hardships before and after [[World War I]] and [[World War II]], disappearing from the world map in 1875 and re-appearing in 1918 after 123 years of [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian]], [[Prussia]]n ([[Germany|German]]), and [[Russian Empire]] rule. After having re-emerged as a sovereign nation after World War I, Poland was again partitioned between [[Nazi Germany]] and the [[Soviet Union]] at the start of World War II. Attaining nationhood again at the end of that war, Poland was then suppressed behind the [[Iron Curtain]] as a Soviet satellite state controlled by a [[communist]] regime imposed by [[Josef Stalin]].

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.  Despite this, communists remained in power and received no punishment, even decades later.<ref>[https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/30340-alex-newman-pawel-chojecki-polish-pastor-exposes-commies Polish Pastor Exposes Commies in High Places].
