Poland, the country of Central Europe. Poland is located on a geographical route that connects the woodlands of northwestern Europe with the Mediterranean coast and the fertile plains of the Eurasian border. Now tied to seven countries, Poland's legacy has diminished over the centuries, and the forces of regional history confront them. In the early Middle Ages, small Polish states and settlements were subdued by waves of invaders, from Germany and the Baltic to Mongol. In the mid-1500s, Poland was the largest state in Europe and perhaps the most powerful nation on the continent. Nevertheless, after two and a half centuries, during the partition of Poland (1772–1918), it disappeared by joining the competing empires of Russia, Prussia and Austria.

Earth

Poland is located in the physical center of the European continent, approximately, between 49 ° and 55 ° N and latitude between 14 ° and 24 ° E. Regularly in circular form, it is northeast to northeast, northeast of Russia. And Lithuania, and in the east by Belarus and Ukraine. The border to the south is followed by the Baskid (Baskidi), Karpten (Krupti) and Sodian (Soditi) mountains, which separate Poland from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, while the Nes (Nesa Oqa) and Oder (Odra) rivers in the west of Germany. Specifies the border with Its current frontiers, measuring 2,198 miles (3,538 km), were drawn in 1945. Except for its southern mountainous terrain, this country comprises almost entirely of low-lying areas in the northern European plains.

Climate

Different types of air masses compete with Poland, affecting both weather and climate characteristics. The major elements included are the aerial masses from the west, the cold polar air from Scandinavia or Russia, and the hot, subtropical air from the south. A series of barometric depressions runs along the polar front to the east, dividing the subtropical from the cold air and having cloudy and wet days just like other parts of northern Europe. In winter, the polar continent's air often prevails, bringing crisp, cold weather, and as a result the cold Arctic air is still cool. Warm, dry, subcontinent - the continental air often brings happy days in late summer and autumn.

The overall climate of Poland is an intermediate and highly variable - role between the Atlantic and continental varieties.

Economy

The development under the Communist government emphasized the class and proletarian nature of the society. The party's class, however, benefited from the numerous benefits for ordinary workers. In post-communist Poland, as private businesses spread rapidly, a small number of people became wealthy, and a middle class comprised of entrepreneurs and urban professionals emerged. However, many people, especially those with fixed incomes, have experienced a sharp decline in living standards. Crime, drug use and corruption also increased, but such problems are not uncommon in Europe. Also, the western provinces closer to Germany had more wealth than the eastern districts near Belarus and Ukraine.

As it shifted towards private ownership and the market economy, Poland quickly became involved with international economic and political organizations. In 1991 he joined the Council of Europe. In 1995, he became a member of the World Trade Organization. And in 1996 he joined the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. He joined NATO and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1999, together with Hungary and the Czech Republic. An associate member of the European Union (EU) since 1994, Poland has taken full membership in 2004.

Education

The system, which changed in 1999, consists of nursery, primary (six levels), and secondary schools. There are two levels of secondary schools, gymnasium (grades 7 through 9) and lyceum (two to four extra years). Many types of advanced secondary schools offer vocational training, vocational training, and general college education. Generally, all schools are under the Ministry of National Education, but the Medical Schools and Colleges are under the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the Army Colleges under the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Culture and Higher Schools. In the 1980s and '90s a large number of private schools of all levels (including colleges) emerged.

Prominent universities include Warsaw University (founded 1818), Giglonian University in Krakow (1364), Adam Macieux University in Poznau (1919), and the only private university in the Soviet Union from 1945 to 1945; ) The highest educational institution is the Polish Academy of Sciences, which has several research institutes and represents Polish learning abroad.
