Polish Reform Movement

The Polish Reform Movement refers to various efforts throughout history to modernize, democratize, and improve Poland’s political, social, and economic systems. These movements emerged in different periods, notably in the 19th century during partitions and the late 20th century during the decline of communist rule. They aimed to promote national independence, reform governance, and advance societal freedoms. Key examples include the movement for independence in the 19th century and the Solidarity movement in the 1980s, which played a crucial role in ending communist rule and establishing a democratic Poland.
