Poland

Its 00-950.

Strategically Hitler wanted Soviet Union/Russia as German colony, provider of food and raw materials as well as "living space" for German people, while considering Russian people inferior to Germans.

He also wanted defeat Soviet Union as stronghold of communism, since Nazi ideology was violently anticommunist.

Tactically in 1940 Hitler was annoyed by Soviet Union ambitions in Europe, and he fought that defeat of Soviet Union would convince Great Britain's to start peace talks. Arguing that Great Britain doesn't surrender because it's trying to play Soviet Union against Germany, he decided to destroy Soviet Union, but was defeated by Russian resistance.

Polish Wedding Traditions In Polish weddings the celebrations may continue for two or three days. In the past, the engagement ceremony was organized by the future groom as a formal family gathering, during which he asked his chosen lady to marry him. In the recent years this custom has changed and today an engagement is much more personal and intimate. An elegant dinner party afterwards is still a nice way to inform the closest family members about the couples' decision to get married. In some regions of Poland the tradition to invite the wedding guests in person is still upheld. Many young couples, accompanied by the parents, visit their family and friends to hand them the wedding invitations personally. According to the old tradition a groom arrives with his parents at the house of a bride just before the wedding ceremony. At that time both parents and parents-in-law give a young couple their blessing. The couple enter the church together and walks up to the altar followed by two witnesses and the parents. In Poland it is quite unusual for the bride to be walked down the aisle or to have bridesmaids and groomsmen in a wedding. The couple is assisted by two witnesses, a man (usually grooms' side) and a woman (usually brides' side) who are either family members or close friends. The Polish bride traditionally wears a white dress and a veil. The groom, on the other hand usually wears a fitted suit with a bow tie and a boutonniere that matches the brides' bouquet. During the ceremony wedding rings are exchanged and both the husband and wife wear them on their right hand. When they leave the church the guests toss rice or coins at the married couple for good and prosperous future together. Right after the ceremony the closest family and all the guest form a line in the front of the church to congratulate the newlyweds and wish them love and happiness. As soon as the married couple leave the church they get showered with rice for luck or guests drop coins at their feet for them to pick up. Once all the guests have showered the couple with kisses, hugs and flowers everyone heads to the reception. It is a custom in Poland to prepare "passing gates" on the way to the reception for the newlyweds, who in order to pass have to give the "gate keepers" some vodka. This is a misinterpretation of an earlier tradition, when the "passing gates" were built when the bride was an orphan and money collected by "gate keepers" from the guests was handed over to the bride as her dowry (being orphan implied usually poverty). The married couple is welcomed at the reception place by the parents with bread and salt. The bread symbolizes the prosperity, salt stands for hardship of life, the parents wish the young couple that they never go hungry and learn how to deal with every day hardships together. The wedding party lasts (and the bride and groom remain) until the last guest leaves, usually until morning.

No. Poland and Denmark are two different countries in Europe.

Human environment interaction in Poland is similar to most other countries. Whenever we do anything to change the environment, that is interaction.

* Building roads.

* Building houses.

* Cutting down trees.

* Planting crops

* Polluting the atmosphere with carbon dioxide

* Learning how to survive with little water.

* Throwing litter

* Establishing a landfill

* Building a dam or a bridge across a river.

It's like the forests being cut down to make cities and farmlands which for us is positive but then when we cut down the forests the animals leave and then the pollution we make in each of the cities is a bad thing. We also drain lakes and rivers and there's mining which also helps to eliminate fish and other animals.

No! Poland is an independent country, to the east of Germany.

The rest of Europe was frightened by this new kind of warfare, so they began manufacturing supplies to fight the war. They were all prepared to fight a war like WWI but they did not expect the new developments in technology that Germany had created in preparation for the war. These technologies included advanced (bigger, faster and more stable) tanks and state of the art (at the time) dive bomber planes. The other European countries started trying to catch up with the advancements that allowed Germany the upper hand.

Saint Jadwiga of Poland was born on February 18, 1374.

If you find a spider web in your house on Christmas morning that means you have good luck in Poland

Most of Hitler's "anger" was pure propaganda. On paper, Hitler had made demands such as returning the town of Danzig which was 90% German they took from them after WW 1. Hitler also made up stories of border infractions by Polish soldiers. Poland was well aware of the danger Germany posed. With that said, Hitler made concrete plans for the invasion of Poland once he had secured the non-aggression pact with Stalin in August of 1939.

That will be Poland. It is the only country that has access to Baltic sea and is still bordered by Germany (right side), Lithuania (top), Ukraine (left side).
