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.
What else can I help you with?
What was the significance of solidarity in Poland for the decline of soviet influence in eastern Europe?
The significance of Solidarity in Poland for the decline of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe was that the Polish citizens' incooperation made it so that the USSR had to negotiate for its rule in the country,when before it had unconditional rule and therefore had no reason to change its policies. The union forced the Soviets to compromise and bend- which weakened its hold on first Poland and then the other countries in which it had a strong hand in the government.
How was Solidarity different from other trade union federations in Poland?
It was a non-Communist trade union in a Communist country
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!! :) :) :)
Why was Germany invasion of Poland important?
Because it insured a full scale Euorpean war. Britain and France both had pledged to protect Poland.
Why was Poland's solidarity threatening to the Soviet Union?
Poland's Solidarity movement was threatening to the Soviet Union because it represented a powerful grassroots challenge to communist authority and control in Eastern Europe. As an independent trade union, Solidarity galvanized widespread public support and demonstrated that organized dissent could effectively oppose the regime. This not only undermined the Soviet model of governance but also inspired similar movements in other Eastern Bloc countries, posing a potential challenge to Soviet dominance in the region. The fear of a domino effect of reform and resistance made Solidarity a significant concern for Soviet leadership.
