Where do most people live in Poland?
Most people in Poland live in Warsaw (a capital) and in Silesian Voivodeship.
Why has the country of Poland had a problem maintaining its sovereignty over the centuries?
Not quite "centuries". Poland lost sovereignty for a total of 123 years (1795-1918) during the partitions, out of 1050 years of its history (966-2010). The semi-independence under communism lasted 44 years (1945-1989). Otherwise Poland could fend for itself quite well. In the late 18th century Poland succumbed to 3 neighbors (Russia, Prussia and Austria). In 1939 it was attacked on two fronts by Nazi Germany and USSR. Keep in mind the relative size: Poland ~40M, Germany ~80M, Russia ~150M (today's numbers).
