History

Interwar period

See main article: Second Polish Republic

Socialist era

See main article: Polish People's Republic

After being liberated by the Red Army in the Second World War, Poland became a socialist people's republic.[2]

Capitalist counterrevolution

In 1989, the CIA-backed Solidarity party led by Lech Wałęsa organized a counterrevolution to establish capitalism.[1]

Anti-communism

Right-wing president Andrzej Duda banned the Communist Party of Poland and criminalized the promotion of communist ideas.[1]

NATO

Poland is currently occupied by approximately 10,000 U.S. troops. In March 2018, Poland signed a $4.75 billion with arms dealer Raytheon. In April 2022, the U.S. agreed to sent F-35 aircraft and Abrams tanks to Poland. In June 2022, Joe Biden announced that the United States would establish a permanent military base in Poland. Poland spends 3% of its GDP on its military, one of the highest levels in NATO.[1]
