The Republic of Poland is a country located in Central Europe , between Germany to the west, the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south, Ukraine and Belarus to the east, and the Baltic Sea Lithuania and Russia (in the form of the Kaliningrad Oblast exclave ) to the north. The Polish state was formed over 1,000 years ago under the Piast dynasty , and reached its Golden Age near the end of the 16th century under the Jagiellonian dynasty , when Poland was one of the richest and most powerful countries in Europe. On May 3 the Sejm of the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania voted for the May Constitution of Poland , Europe's first written constitution , and the second in the world after the Constitution of the United States . Soon afterwards, the country ceased to exist after being

POLISH LANDSCAPE T he landscape of Poland can be divided broadly into three relief groups: the lowlands, the highlands, and the mountains. There are sharply contrast between the northern two-thirds of the country and the southern one-third. The northern zone's principal topographical characteristic is the North European Plain. The southern one-third of Poland consists of various upland areas and adjacent or intervening lowlands. Along the southern border are the Carpathian and Sudeten mountains. The highest elevation is Rysy (2,499 m) in the High Tatra range of the Carpathians. The eastern extremes of Poland display characteristics common to eastern Europe, but the rest of the country is linked to western Europe by structure, climate, and the character of its vegetation. T he Coastal Plain The Baltic Coastal Plain stretches across northern Poland from Germany to Russia (Kaliningrad region). It is largely occupied by the ancient province of Pomerania. The Pomeranian (Pomorska) Bay in the west and the Gulf of Gdansk in the east are the two major inlets. In the southern portion of the former, two islands block off the Szczecin (Szczecinski) Lagoon, into which the Oder discharges its waters. In the Gulf of Gdansk, the Vistula (Wisla) River forms a large delta. Sandbars, on which the winds have created large dunes, line much of the coast, separating the coastal lakes and lagoons from the sea. The main urban centres are the ports of Szczecin on the lower Oder and Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot in the east.

Because of this, many of Poland's cities have been badly damaged or destroyed. But today, these cities are being rebuilt. Poland has many countries around it. Many of those countries have fought over Poland. Many of them ruled it. During the twentieth century, Poland was in the middle of two terrible wars. The first was World War I. The second was World War II. During these wars, a lot of Poland was destroyed. Warsaw is Poland's capital. It was almost entirely destroyed during war, too. There are many pretty places in Warsaw. One of these places is called New Town. New Town is not new, though. It is a part of Warsaw that was built about 600 years ago! There are many old houses and churches there.

Geography Poland Table of Contents Topography To the south of the lowlands are the lesser Poland uplands, a belt varying in width from ninety to 200 kilometers, formed by the gently sloping foothills of the Sudeten and Carpathian mountain ranges and the uplands that connect the ranges in southcentral Poland. The topography of this region is divided transversely into higher and lower elevations, reflecting its underlying geological structure. In the western section, the Silesia-Kraków Upthrust contains rich coal deposits. The Baltic coastal plains are a low-lying region formed of sediments deposited by the sea. The coastline was shaped by the action of the rising sea after the Scandinavian ice sheet retreated. The two major inlets in the smooth coast are the Pomeranian Bay on the German border in the far northwest and the Gulf of Gdansk in the east. The Oder River empties into the former, and the Vistula forms a large delta at the head of the latter. Sandbars with large dunes form lagoons and coastal lakes along much of the coast.

OAS_AD('Top'); HOME FEATURES HERITAGE HISTORY ... PRUSSIA/GALICIA/SILESIA Heritage: History Library Poland? HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF POLAND..... In researching Polish ancestors it is important to understand what the boundaries of Poland were at a given period in time. Poland's geography has been redefined many times.

Geography of Poland World Facts Index Poland Weather Map of Poland Topography The average elevation of Poland is 173 meters, and only 3 percent of Polish territory, along the southern border, is higher than 500 meters. The highest elevation is Mount Rysy, which rises 2,499 meters in the Tatra Range of the Carpathians, 95 kilometers south of Kraków. About 60 square kilometers along the Gulf of Gdansk are below sea level. Poland is traditionally divided into five topographic zones from north to south. The largest, the central lowlands, is narrow in the west, then expands to the north and south as it extends eastward. Along the eastern border, this zone reaches from the far northeast to within 200 kilometers of the southern border. The terrain in the central lowlands is quite flat, and earlier glacial lakes have been filled by sediment. The region is cut by several major rivers, including the Oder (Odra), which defines the Silesian Lowlands in the southwest, and the Vistula (Wisla), which defines the lowland areas of east-central Poland. To the south of the lowlands are the lesser Poland uplands, a belt varying in width from ninety to 200 kilometers, formed by the gently sloping foothills of the Sudeten and Carpathian mountain ranges and the uplands that connect the ranges in southcentral Poland. The topography of this region is divided transversely into higher and lower elevations, reflecting its underlying geological structure. In the western section, the Silesia-Kraków Upthrust contains rich coal deposits.
