Polish-German Reconciliation

Polish-German reconciliation refers to the process of repairing and improving relations between Poland and Germany after years of conflict, including World War II. This effort involved acknowledging past abuses, formal apologies, and fostering mutual understanding. Key steps included diplomatic recognition, treaties like the 1970 Treaty of Warsaw, and initiatives promoting dialogue, cultural exchange, and cooperation. The goal was to move beyond hostility and build a partnership based on respect and shared interests, helping both nations heal historical wounds and promote stability and peace in Europe.
