Poland Its Name From Slavic Plain And Its Turbulent History
Poland derives its name from a Slavic word for a plain and is noted as Europe’s most level nation with about 34 million people in 150000 square miles. It rose as a state in the 10th century, suffered partition by Prussia Russia and Austria in 1795, reappeared in 1918, and the 1919 Versailles Treaty granted Baltic access via the Corridor and Danzig port status, with later port developments at Gydnia.
