Poland Explained!

Recently it feels like everyone is talking about Poland!
It’s safe to say that Poland is making some serious moves in the world. With a stable diverse economy. A new interesting aim in technology, and a serious investment in military power.
Poland has gone from being a gray and poor place filled with war and invasion. And being pretty much erased from maps. To a nation that not only survived but thrived into a country others now look at with envy.
But how did this happen? And most importantly, what do you even know about Poland? The time has come to explore the “ins and outs” of this nation. So this. Is Poland Explained!

[@kacperm6555]

The explanation for the high death rate was ridiculous. On the chart you can clearly see it started to rise sharply around 2020. It's obvious it was the result of the pandemic. Many countries around the world reported a similar rise in deaths. Alcohol consumption in Poland is lower than in many other countries. According to 2023 statistics it is 19th on the list just above United Kingdom.

[@SebJann]

Yeah, this was a very strange explanation that is probably based on your racist stereotipes from the communist era about polish people being alcohol abusers. Times have changed and now Polish people consume the highest amount of alcohol free drinks in the world. Also, the majority of Gen Z considers alcohol to be unnecessary, and just don't drink it. Same with smoking. But I guess you just haven't researched anything other than some random article from 1998, which is fine... Ignorance is a thing. @CountiesExplained

[@promeyko]

There's also demographic structure to be blamed: after WW2 there was a child boom and this generetion is now simply getting very old so as they were dispropotionaly big part of population death rate is now higher.

[@RFergusson]

And Poland handled the pandemic fantastically. Lower infection rates, lower vaccine insanity and lower death.

Is it really that good? I would not say. Of course, the standard of living is better than before, but pensions and earnings in ordinary jobs are a nightmare. Many elderly people do not have a sufficient pension and do not have enough money for food or medicine. We have a shitty tax system, the population is falling, more and more people are leaving = there will be no one to pay pension contributions and retirees will live worse than now. You been a tourist and seen only nice places and did you know that over 2.3 million people do not have a toilet? We have beautiful cities, of course, lot of buildings are modern now but lot of no too, and if you have a good job or an idea for yourself, you have a good standard of living, it is easier to achieve something now. But it's not that great, I hope it will improve :) Thanks ofc But I wanted to make you aware that it's not so rosy and we have lot of other problems in our system, but Poland is still a nice country to visit or live in :) Regards !

Wow, just watched a bunch of movies about Poland recently, and this one? It's hands down the worst and most inaccurate. I mean, come on, the place names were totally butchered (a quick Google search could've fixed that, you dont have to be perfect but at least try, other people do that). And don't even get me started on all the errors and stereotypes - like the whole Vistula River thing (FYI, it's NOT shared with Ukraine and Belarus, at closest point it’s at least 200 km away from either). Oh, here's another f-up - the north of Poland is way less populated, even when you look at the whole country. Meanwhile, you missed mentioning Silesia, where a quarter of Poles live 🤦‍♂️ And let's talk about the drinking and smoking stereotypes - Poland's right in the middle of the European pack. It's not like we're the champs or anything. Would you say the same about the Germans, the French, or the Spanish, because they have similar stats? Honestly, I couldn't stomach watching more of this nonsense. My advice? Fact-check and stick to the real deal, not just opinions.

In 1939, the German and Soviet Russia invasions on Poland started WW II; this is a fact that should be loudly said to the public. 1 September, Germany and 17 September, Russia attacked Poland, not a single ally (ally on paper) lifted a finger back then. Russia, together with Germany, started WW II, this is a fact that was hidden only because, at the end of the war, Soviet Russia (not alone but with the help of other nations) beat Germany.

[@eugengrzondziel1706]

Do not forget the sprach of polish foreign Minister Mr. Beck. He was sure, that GB and F will help in case of war. It Was a big mistake. Without USSR determination no one in the world could stop Hitler's army and Poland would cease to exist.

[@TheZydor]

@@eugengrzondziel1706 It was not an USSR determination but a massacre of their own nation actually a genocide of their own people. They just sacrifice their own people in unbelievable number ( if someone refuse to go and die, he was shot in the back ). And after all USSR alone would not be able to win with nazi. It was collective efford with other east nations and because nazi have been pushed in western front as well by aliants

[@TheRogueminator]

Not entirely true, France did attack into Germany, and with Great Britain they should easily be able to penetrate well into Nazi-Germany, while most of the Wehrmacht was busy in Poland, but they were way too cautious, didnt use the chance at all, and pulled back after a meager offensive.
