Solidarity in Poland, a trade union and social movement founded in 1980, sought to pressure the government through organized strikes, protests, and widespread demonstrations. By uniting workers and citizens around demands for better labor conditions, political freedom, and human rights, Solidarity effectively challenged the communist regime's authority. The movement garnered significant national and international support, which further amplified its call for reforms. Ultimately, this grassroots mobilization played a crucial role in undermining the government and leading to negotiations that resulted in partially free elections in 1989.
