Poland regained its independence after the First World War as the Second Polish Republic, but it was occupied by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union at the beginning of World War II in September 1939.

Famous Poles include the astronomer Copernicus, the composer Chopin, the scientist Maria Curie-Sklodowska, the pope Juan Pablo II, etc.

Poland’s traditional dishes include beetroot soup, cabbage rolls (cabbage leaves stuffed with meat and rice) and pierogi (dumplings stuffed with cabbage and mushrooms, for example).

I would like to live there because it is a very nice country; the culture is different and I would learn the language... But I like more Spain.
