WARSAW, Poland (AP) Poland is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its rebirth as an independent state on Sunday with a multitude of events across the country, including marches, Masses, and the national hymn being sung in more than 600 public places.
The national white-and-red flag fluttered from buildings and buses, dignitaries and regular citizens placed flowers and wreaths at memorials to the father of Polish independence, Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, and the historic Sigismund Bell, reserved only for the most important national events, rang out over Krakow.
Poland regained its independence at the end of World War I in 1918, reborn from the ashes of three defeated powers that had partitioned and ruled the Central European nation for more than a century.
The ceremonies in Poland coincide with world leaders gathering in Paris on Sunday to mark the armistice of what was then called the Great War.

Excellent graphic ! It just needs another red slash cutting across a Crescent and Star to celebrate King Jan Sobieski’s victory over Islam as well.

If Hillary had won, I was considering Poland or Hungary as my home.
If the elections of the USA are going to be frauds, I’ll probably wind up there in the coming few years.

I thought it was a Russian satellite during the cold war.
Was it really an independent state during all those years?
Just asking. I don’t know.

This is about 1918, not 1945.

But it says 100 years as an independent nation.
They have not been independent for 100 years.
So it’s a lie.

The only real sanity and decency you'll find in Europe today is found in the East...Poland,Hungary,the Baltics and one or two others.It's a lot like Christianity...the only places on earth where you can find the real thing to any kind of meaningful degree is in Africa (and Eastern Europe).

Id say its a simplification. The Second Polish Republic of the interwar period was followed by 40 years as a Peoples Republic. The current Constitution of the Republic of Poland was adopted in 1997 by popular referendum.

Between 1797 and 1918 Poland did not exist on the map.

My maternal grandparents came from Poland. Grandma died before I was born, but I still remember my mom and grandpap speaking in Polish. I never learned the language, but hearing Polish voices warms my heart and brings back wonderful memories.
