Western Slavs

Western Slavs are a subgroup of Slavic peoples historically living in Central Europe, including nations like Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. They share linguistic roots in the West Slavic language branch and have cultural connections rooted in their medieval history. Western Slavs developed distinct national identities, languages, and traditions over centuries, shaped by interactions with neighboring peoples and political powers. Today, they form the core of several independent states, playing significant roles in European history, culture, and politics.
