Poland

First the element of surprise was in the Nazis favor as well as men and material superority. When the German army hit the border of Poland in September of 1939 the use of his mechanized troops against cavalry (yep, they only had horses and World War I style tanks while the enemy had expensive redesigned tanks) heavy army the outcome was obviously going to be victory for the enemy attackers. Also, Stalin put his two cents in to the German opinion of invasion by coming in from the East as things heated up shortly after the opening days of the invasion. This is not to say the Poles were stupid for using horses against tanks, they were brave fighters. It's just with the majority of their armed forces keeping a 1920s standard of military equipment and the total unpreparedness of the Polish high command structures for modern combat that now looking back it is of no surprise that they would fall quickly. When Polish forces using their rare but there small amount of late-modeled airplanes and armor they gave as good as they got.

Also it should probably be mentioned that after The Great War (also called World War I), other countries signed treaties vowing to come in with their military to protect Poland, should it ever be attacked again. So, they encouraged Poland to concentrate on rebuilding its infrastructure for civilian life, spending its economy to rebuild schools, hospitals, universities, civilian transportation, and so on, knowing they could count on other countries for military support. In the meantime, Germany spent the years after The Great War (of World War I) to mostly build the most modern army in the world "for their own protection".

It should also be noted Poland's style of government since 1779 was a constitutional democracy which was re-instated after The Great War/World War I, and re-instated again in 1991 after the Cold War.

Romania is at the South of Poland.

Same as in English: "Tornado" :)

It's generally good for the Polish economy because it helped reduce unemployment and bring money into the country but some bad things were that it reduced the number of skilled people like doctors, teachers and nurses and also it reduced some small villages and towns of their young people because it was generally young, skilled people who moved to Britain.

"Do widzenia!"

Translated word for word it means "Until I see you again!" and that's a phrase you can say to anyone, formally, or informally. However, if you just want to say bye to a friend or someone close you can just say "Cześć!". This is a word which can be said as Hello OR Goodbye.

Poland is in the better geostrategic position, and has the superior economy and military. Belarus has the Russian federation backing them up, while Poland would have the EU. My predicition would be a western victory, but Poland itself would probably face invasion and occupatin by their enemies. Those two alone, however, would result in a Polish victory

All cities in the world were small before they became big :-)

Łódź (Lodz) got its city rights already in 1423, but until 19th century it remained the small settlement with only few hundreds inhabitants.

Łódź grew up rapidly in the second half of 19th century (from a population of 13,000 in 1840 to over 500,000 in 1913), and was the second biggest Polish city in the times of Second Polish Republic (1918-1939). Now it is the 3rd city in Poland, after Warsaw and Kraków.

The Polish equivalent is Zofia.

Libchen means Sweetheart or Dear in English, so Polish translation should be Najdroższa, Ukochana. This word has many translation forms.

Area of Poland is 120,696.41 sqare miles.

between 40,000 and 160,000 words.

Ah, that's not that simple, really. Polish Scientific Publishers PWN Grand Orthografic Dictionary (mine, unofficial translation of the title) has something about 150,000 entries - but you can't say that that's all there is to polish language.

Polish language has a lot of word creating potential, e.g. you can create lots of diminutives from a lot of words, and even though they most probably won't be covered by dictionaries, they will be commonly understood (even if thought of as awkward at times). There's also more to that. You could probably then make that number significantly higher.

On the other hand, if you won't count loanwords, special (technical) terms/jargon, slang, dialect specific words, diminutives, etc, etc, you can make that number significantly lower.

So, while the question may seem simple at first, there's no definite answer for it.
