Nearly everyone living in Poland today is ethnically Polish due to the significant demographic changes that occurred after World War II, particularly the borders' redrawing and the forced migrations of various ethnic groups. The war and its aftermath led to the expulsion of millions of Germans and the resettlement of Poles from territories lost to the Soviet Union. Additionally, Poland's post-war communist government promoted a homogeneous national identity, further consolidating the ethnic makeup of the population. These historical events have resulted in a predominantly Polish ethnic population in contemporary Poland.

Who were Poland's allies in World War 1?

At that time, Poland did not exist. It had been partitioned between the Kingdom of Prussia (later part of Germany), Austria (later part of Austria-Hungary), and the Russian Empire in 1795. Those living in the portions then in the possession of Germany and Austria-Hungary would have been fighting with the Central Powers, while those living in the portion controlled by Russia would have been allied with Russia, France, England, etc. It was at the end of WWI that Poland was restored as the Second Polish Republic in 1918. World War II was begun when Germany invaded Poland in September of 1939.
