For almost its entire history Poland has been a bitterly poor nation. In the middle of Europe between Germany and Russia it has served as a battleground on more than one occasion. But over the last 30 years things have changed, in this period its economy has been one of Europes best performers, and by some estimates may be richer than the UK by 2030. It also has one of Europe's strongest army's. So how did this all happen?

The narrator didn't say Poland was part of the USSR. He said Poland of that era was a satellite state of the Soviet Union. But that separation was on paper only. As a bitter joke of the Poland's dark communism era would say, the most important person in Warsaw at the time was the Russian ambassador.

In addition to that statement, there is a mistake in the narrative of this video "with the fall of Soviet Union". Communism collapsed in Poland in 1989 whereas the Soviet Union fell 2 years later in 1991.
0:21 "...costing thousands of lives" I wish you were right but in WW2 Poland lost about 6 MILION citizens. As pre-war Poland included many minorities total of 6 MILION includes 3 MILION Jews and up to 3 MILION Poles killed in the WW2 started in September 1939 by Germany, Soviet Union and Slovakia.

Apart from the fact that Poland was never part of the USSR, there is one more mistake in the film. Claiming that Poland has been a poor country for centuries. Meanwhile, until the 18th century it was one of the richest countries in Europe. Even after various parts of it came under Russian rule in the 19th century, it was its richest province. In fact, it was only in the 19th century when industrialization began, which we could not take advantage of because we were divided, and as a result of the destruction of both world wars, our economic position decreased. Another important inaccuracy. Poland was the first to reject communism. Only later did the Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall fall. We were already a free country when communism was still in force in other Eastern Bloc countries. There was a period of time when Germans from the DDR fled west through Poland.

Some historians claim Poland to be for the Russia what China was for Mongols. It indeed was the most developed part of Russian Tsardom and most influential/rich people of Third Rome were Poles. Unfortunately Polish higher class was kept away from institutional power in Russia and strongly discriminated against which led to insurrections that made sharing a state impossible from then on. Consequences of those animosities are felt to this day, as Russians perceive Poles to be American puppets and Poles see Russians as uncivilized and "more Mongol than European"

Lots of Poles complain about the transformation and some wants more direct state control in economy or basically every part of the country, currently the biggest party and previously ruling PIS is basically more socialist than the former communists. Also, plenty Poles emigrated after 2004, Poles are the biggest minorities in Iceland, Norway or Netherlands, maybe even in UK. There's no soviet sentiment because Poles see it as a foreign occupation, just another chapter in our fight with Moscow. I'm not complaining, I'm still proud of what Poland achieved but it's not perfect. I hope and wish Bulgaria to catch up, it has a great potential but don't count on politicians to do it for you.

I believe a crucial factor for Polish economic success is its currency. Not having the Euro and controlling its own currency allows Poland to adjust its exchange rate based on the needs of its own economy to attract FDI. The Euro is the reason why the Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Greek economies are so damaged, as they cannot control their own exchange rate to adjust to their economic needs, like the Italians did with the Lira in the 20th century. Hopefully Poland can keep its currency and keep up the good growth in the next decades.

The projections of Poland being wealthier than the UK in 2030, while widely reported, are inaccurate. It’s very unlikely that will be the case in terms of PPP. What can be said though, is that there is much to learn from the Poles. They’re doing a great job at helping their citizens live more prosperous lives.

Wealthier definetly not, since wealth is accumulated across many generations and UK didn't have communism, UK was not that badly destroyed by 2nd world war and even before war they were far richer, so average Briton will be still a lot of wealthier than average Pole, its about purchasing power of a single salary and yes probly around 2030 purchasing power of salary in Poland will be higher than in UK, since UK did some really stupid moves, first leaving EU and then refusing to be part of single market.

"Poland is on a brink to become a superpower" - are you mad?
Recent official data revealed that NET EU funds inflow to Poland reached 160 billion euro within 20 years. So it makes on average 8 billion euro per year. Considering that 90 % (I do jot recall exactly) went back to so called "old"😅 Europe countries, this EU fund bonanza needs to be viewed without bias.
It’s better than it was , it’s still more work ahead … keep the country rolling … keep working … ⭐️🇵🇱⭐️
I love all these comments clowning on this dude’s historical accuracy
Poland was never part of the Soviet Union. was a member of the Warsaw Pact and was dependent on the communist authorities of the USSR. Poland was poor because the Polish economy was drained by the USSR.
I cannot fathom the amount of time you spent creating this extraordinary video. It is an absolute masterpiece, reflecting the grand history of Poland. My utmost respect and gratitude to you. Regrettably, everything seems poised to collapse due to the European Union’s impractical ‘Green Deal’ initiatives. The EU’s policies threaten to impoverish Poland once more, and I fear that the safety standards we have enjoyed for decades may deteriorate as a result. The current government, which has recently come into power, appears to be an even worse choice than its predecessor, PiS. There is only one way to stop this madness. On the 9th of June this year, we must vote for Konfederacja, the only political party in Poland capable of putting an end to this nightmare.
A lot of money from the EU as well. Not to diminish their accomplishment, just to say that they were really smart at spending well those money, it wasn't a given.

I'm from Poland and "Poland is on the brink of becoming a superpower" is the most funny thing I heard in last days ;d And no, we don't have a largest army in EU. In fact, we have fewer tanks now than we had in 40s in WW2 (where Poland didn't even existed), poor soldiers traning and bad equipment. The last problems on the Belarus border show how bad polish army is, three soldiers even got charges after firing warning shoots in the air and a soldier died (was punched with a knife on a stick).

Fun Fact: Balcerowicz plan was originally a for-fun collage/university project made for pure intellectual exercise. If not for that it already existed it wouldn't be accepted by parliament. Though in the plan it had to shrink Polish economy by 3% while in reality shrink by over 20% ..

The animation on the beginning is false - Poland was not part of Soviet Union like everything to the east, I mean current Baltic states, Belarus and Ukraine. Poland was separate state with private farming, some small private business and free Church. But, of course we were in Warsaw Pact and were statelite state for USSR.
All the jobs are going to Poland seriously
Middle grow trap is a thing. With boosting minimal salary foreign companies may tend to leave this country sadly... But most of Poles do not recognize this problem. I hope I am wrong, because we want to thrive here and generate wealth for next generations.
I really wonder why he speaks about middle income countries. From what I know this is usually in a global context. This would mean countries like Vietnam, Morocco or China. But Poland is way richer than these nowadays. So it might be middle income if you compare it to other EU countries but this is already a pretty good comparison. So I salute Poland for what it achieved and keep going Poland.
If Poland had not been betrayed by the Allies, everything could have turned out differently. We did not participate in the Marshal Plan, we could not develop, we did not receive war reparations from the Germans, which currently amount to 1.5 trillion euros

Mam wrazenie ze ludzie zrobili sie obrzydliwie pyszalkowaci ostatnio, musza sie wszystkim chwalic kazdemu i na sile, ohyda 9. Stare kreskowki dla dzieci ktore mialem szczescie ogladac byly moralizujace, dzisiaj im bardziej wode robia z mozgu tym lepsze bo rodzic moze pojsc spac a dziecko samo sie wychowa a z internetem to nieporownywalnie gorzej jest 10.

A rzadzacy to najlepsi - kopiuja wszystko co idzie z ameryki by walczyc ze zmyslonymi problemami ktorych u nas nie ma, a lokalne problemy zamiatane pod dywan albo tradycyjnie jak z wiek wiekow litania 'to poprzednia partia rzadzaca zrobila' jako wymowka niezaleznie kto rzadzi aby tylko nic nie robic i objadac sie za pieniadze ludzi dalej, wygrali 4 lata to co my mozemy zrobic? Nic. Moj glos nie ma znaczenia, czy to w urnie czy to wyjsc do ludzi. Ludzie nie chca dyskutowac bo oni juz wiedza wszystko i niemozliwe by ktos nie mial racji.

Sie mowi ze nie mozna byc dobrym sluga jak sie ma dwoch panow.

superpower ? what fanfiction is this ? my country is lost
Major Advantages and Strengths of Poland Compared to the Rest of Europe 1. Own currency and large reserves of USD, EUR, and significant reserves of gold and silver: Poland has retained its national currency, the zloty, providing flexibility in monetary policy. Additionally, Poland holds substantial reserves in US dollars, euros, as well as in gold and silver. These reserves strengthen the country's financial stability and protect it against global market fluctuations. 2. Natural resource deposits: Poland is one of the leading producers of copper, gold, and silver globally. It also has significant coal reserves, which constitute a major part of its energy mix, along with smaller but notable reserves of gas and oil. The historical importance of the mining industry in Poland underscores the country's role as a key player in the global raw materials sector. 3. Favorable climate and water conditions: The Central Polish Lowlands, characterized by a temperate climate and favorable water conditions, are a significant asset for Poland. In the face of rising temperatures across Europe, Poland and Germany are the only countries with stable climatic conditions conducive to agriculture and industry. This gives Poland an advantage in the context of climate change. 4. Strong agricultural and horticultural traditions: Poland has a long history as an agricultural and horticultural country. Despite bureaucratic constraints from the European Union, Polish agriculture has the potential to feed not only the country but also a significant part of Europe. Poland is the leading producer of apples in the EU and also a major producer of mushrooms, blueberries, currants, plums, and pears, highlighting its agricultural potential. 5. Specialization in key industrial sectors: Poles are highly specialized in various industrial sectors such as road transport, furniture production, household appliances, fertilizers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, IT, as well as heavy and chemical industries. This industrial diversification makes the Polish economy flexible and competitive in the global market. 6. Growing role of seaports: Polish seaports, particularly Gdańsk, play an increasingly significant role in European maritime transport. Gdańsk, returning to its historical prominence, is becoming a crucial logistics hub supplying a large part of Europe. The dynamic development of seaports strengthens Poland's position on the economic map of the continent. 7. Military history and national spirit: Poles have a long history as a nation of warriors, which has shaped their national identity. For centuries, Poland has fought wars during which its enemies, such as Prussia, Austria-Hungary, and Tsarist Russia, disappeared from the pages of history. The historical military strength and strategic position have made Poland a key player in Europe, attracting settlers from the West.
