For centuries the Kingdom of Poland was one of the most important States in Europe. Gradually, however, it became reduced in size. Three times it was partitioned " among Russia, Germany and Austria, until finally it censed to exist.

The Poles chance came with the Great War. The Polish nationalist Pilsudski raised a Polish army, declared Poland's Independence. That independence was recognised by the Treaty of Ver sailles and modern Poland was created. Its area is 150.413 square miles and its population 32,347,000--more than half as big again as the British Isles, with about three-quarters the popu lation. The majority of the inhabitants are engaged in agriculture, but Important industries have been developed."
