Historians cite that the three partitions of Poland which occurred before the 19th century, helped maintain the balance of power in eastern Europe.

Colonel Josef Beck was Poland's foreign minister in 1934. He was in no way pro-German and did believe that Hitler's policies were designed for domestic purposes. He believed, however, that German speaking nations such as Austria and the Czech Sudetenland would be targets of Hitler's domestic plan to reunite Germans. Although Poland did have a German population, Beck's nonaggression pact with Hitler seemed to safeguard Poland.
Poland was under various forms of foreign control for much of its history. In the 18th century, it was divided and controlled by Austria, Prussia, and Russia in a process known as the Partitions of Poland. It regained independence after World War I but was subsequently occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II. After the war, Poland came under Soviet influence and became part of the Eastern Bloc until the fall of communism in 1989.
The partitions of Poland, which occurred in the late 18th century, were primarily caused by the weakening of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth due to internal strife, political corruption, and a lack of strong centralized authority. Neighboring powers—Russia, Prussia, and Austria—exploited this instability, driven by their own expansionist ambitions. The partitions were formalized through a series of treaties in 1772, 1793, and 1795, ultimately leading to the complete dissolution of Poland as a sovereign state by the end of the 18th century.
