King of Poland

The term "King of Poland" historically refers to the monarch who ruled over the Kingdom of Poland, a significant Central European state. Throughout its history, Poland experienced periods of independence and partitions, during which its sovereignty was divided among neighboring powers like Russia, Prussia, and Austria. The title signifies authority and sovereignty during its independent periods, but from the late 18th century onwards, Poland’s territory was often controlled or influenced by foreign powers. Today, Poland is a republic, and the term is mainly of historical or ceremonial interest, representing the nation’s monarchy-era heritage.
