Poland on the Rise
In the decades following the Soviet Union’s collapse, Europe’s leadership rested firmly with France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Now, a surprising new power is rising fast—armed with growing military might and increasing political clout, and ready to redefine Europe’s balance of power.
Poland is a country that's often overlooked in the grand scheme of power politics on the continent, but this Eastern European nation has been on the rise for the last three decades, and some experts believe that Warsaw could be the capital of the region's next major superpower.
Life in Poland has changed drastically ever since the country gained independence after the fall of the Soviet Union. Understanding what life was like for Polish people living at the time is hard to know, but The Telegraph’s Daniel Johson provided a good overview in May 2023.
