Chronicles: Poland

10th A.D: The country was established (the king of Germany, as Pop's representative, crowned a Polish prince as king)

15th A.D: Fight with Ottoman Empire -> the king had to delegate a lot of power to the Polish nobles in order to fight with the neighbors; consequently, the power of the king decreased, thus weakening the power of the whole country.

After WWI(1918): The country was divided between Russian, Austria, and Germany.

After WWII(1945): The country appeared again on the map, though strongly influenced by the communism in Russia.

1990s: The country got its full independence back.

Q: Why has Poland been always invaded by other countries?
A: Because of its particular geographical location: Poland has been the border between Asia and Europe, thus the neighbors were trying to gain control over the country.
