Lying in the slavic east of Europe is possibly the most resilient nation in history. For thousands of years this land has been inhabited by different peoples who have left their cultural influence world wide. This nation has been the home of great victories; this land once had the largest state in Europe, the strongest heavy cavalry and one of the first constitutional monarchies. This nation suffered millions more casualties than every other nation during the holocaust and WW2. Despite a history of struggle and conflict this nation is eastern Europe’s best success story. This is Poland.
