A united Kingdom of Poland in the mid-1500s formed one of the largest countries in Europe, and was noteworthy as well for adopting the continent's first written national constitution in 1791. Partitioned after the wars of the 17th century, Poland was restored as a nation in 1918. The second World War and the Holocaust would ravage Poland and inflict untold misery on its people, many of whom were forced to migrate to other countries. Poland would rise again into a regional power in the 21st century. Every year, it welcomes many travellers eager to know more about its history and see its natural beauty.
