Polish Workers' Party

The Polish Workers' Party (PPR) was a communist political party in Poland established in 1942, during World War II, as an underground organization opposing Nazi occupation. After the war, it became the ruling party in Poland, aligning with the Soviet Union and implementing socialist policies. The PPR aimed to transform Poland into a socialist state, promoting collective ownership and central planning. It played a significant role in shaping post-war Poland's political landscape until it evolved into the Polish United Workers' Party in 1948. Its leadership and policies deeply influenced the country's development throughout the Cold War era.
