The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented a longstanding political association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin. This union formed the PolishâLithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest and most populous countries of 16th and 17th century Europe.
Poland as a country has a history of over 1000 years and has been invaded many times. The most infamous recent invasion was in 1939 when Nazi Germany invaded. The reasons for this invasion are numerous but are often given that Germany needed more space for Germans to live in and saw their eastern neighbours as sub-human.
