After the Second World War, Poland became a Soviet dependency for over fifty years, deprived of the right to make any independent decisions regarding its political alliances. Poland's aspirations to play a substantial role in Western European culture or to participate in Euro-Atlantic structures became possible only after the collapse of the Soviet bloc. Subsequently, European integration became the pattern to follow, based on the observation of European democracy, the protection of human rights and market economy. European Union countries are Poland's main partners in establishing a free market and in forming new conditions for national security. |
