How did Solidarity affect communist rule in Poland?

In 80-ties the Solidarity movement had over 10 million members, that was the force that would scare any government. It shown that Communism has no support in polish society. In 90- ties the government must've deal with Solidarity and reform the country.


Why was solidarity important to Poland and other countries?

Solidarity was a trade union that organised Polish workers in the 1980s and stood up to the communist government of the time. Its leader was Lech Walesa. Amongst the many other things that were going on in easter Europe's communist countries at the time, it contributed to the eventual downfall of communism in those countries. It tried for social and political reform and negotiated with the Polish government. The government did ban it and tried to stop it, but it survived and eventually Lech Walesa got into politics and he became president of Poland after the fall of communism.

How did the solidarity movement led to polish independence?

It was when the polish were weak after WW1 and then lech walesa (pronounced lekh valensa) the leader, made Poland a stronger econamy and a democratic country. Then now all the polish people are living in peace but Poland still has problems with the government. So that is pretty much what you need to know about the Solidarity. There is much more, but this is all the basic stuff. Good Luck in whatever you need this for!! :) :) :)


How did Poland come out of communism?

In September 1980, an independent trade union called Solidarity was formed and was led by Lech Wałęsa. It was very popular and became the focus of the anti-Communist sentiments of the population. Following brutal repression and economic disaster, the Polish government made a series of unsuccessful reforms. The perestroika and glasnoist policies of Gorbachev eventually led the Polish government to enter talks with Solidarity, which resulted in semi-free elections being held in June 1989. When the popularity of Solidarity was made obvious from the results, the Polish prime minister resigned and a new, non-communist government was sworn in.
