History and Entertainment
The modern country started to be formed in the 9th century. At that time, it was considered as an association of several sovereign princedoms. By 1454, the country had been governed by kings but then it gained a status of the republic. In the Middle Ages, Poland saw multiple battles with the Teutonic Order and nearby princedoms. The times before were characterized by repeated redistributions of the country territory. The Russian-Polish war lasting for over 10 years and ending in 1667 played a big role in the Polish history. The country also saw the so-called period of statelessness lasting from 1795 to 1918. At that time, Polish lands belonged to different countries, such as Prussia, Austria and Russia. Poland gained independence in November 1918.
