Kingdom of Poland

The Kingdom of Poland, established in 966, was a medieval state that emerged as a significant political and cultural entity in Central Europe. It was unified under Polish rulers, becoming a kingdom in 1025. Over centuries, it experienced periods of expansion and partition, particularly during the 18th century when it was divided among neighboring powers, leading to its disappearance from the map by the late 1790s. Poland regained independence in 1918, and its historical legacy continues to shape Polish identity and culture today. The kingdom is often remembered for its contributions to European history, including its royal heritage and cultural achievements.
