Which countries are Polands friends, which are Polands enemies? [75]
By annexing Eastern Europe, Russia worked in the national interest of the British. It's all about the Balance of Power. All seven of Poland's current neighbors aren't what you'd call allies. At some point in history, they all put their interests before that of Poland. Russia, Germany-Austria, Czech Republic, not really Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Sweden, etc. The list goes on. Currently, we're being used as a puppet of the U.S. to help them obtain their interests as well. I guess you could say: Hungary and Romania are our only allies in Europe and the Catholic Church serves as a unifying force in the country, so add the Vatican. Other than that, Poland's pretty much a loner.
My father told me that Warsaw was know as "the Second Paris".
