Everyone has certain rights and with these rights come certain responsibilities that must be fulfilled in order to preserve one's rights. Those involved in the Polish Solidarity Party, which began as an independent trade union, had rights they satisfied to protect their rights and, in doing so, created a new and improved Poland. Before the formation of the Solidarity Party, the communist regime controlled Poland. Communism, based on the ideas and teachings of Karl Marx, is a system in which everyone is seen as equal and wealth is distributed equally among people. The Cold War brought communism to Poland in 1945, which was widespread in Eastern Europe throughout the 20th century despite several attempts by several countries to expel it. Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan were very illustrious figures in the expulsion of communism in Poland. The Gdańsk Agreement, the formation of the Solidarity Party, Lech Wałęsa and the Workers' Defense Committee were the main elements in the beginning of the fall of communism in Poland. The communist government saw that the Polish people were beginning to rebel against them and took action by outlawing Solidarity, imposing martial law, and strengthening the communist government. After the Polish round table, Solidarity was legalized again and allowed to participate in free elections. The Cold War was a conflict between communist nations led by the Soviet Union and democratic nations led by the United States. It was fought through propaganda, economic warfare, diplomatic bargaining, and occasional military clashes. At the Yalta conference in February 1945, Josef Stalin, representing the Soviet Union, promised... mid-paper... large numbers for the expulsion of communism from Poland. The main elements that determined the beginning of the fall of communism in Poland were the Gdańsk Agreement, the formation of the Solidarity Party, LechWałęsa and the Workers' Defense Committee. The communist government took measures to strengthen the communist government by outlawing Solidarity and imposing martial law. Solidarity was legalized again and given permission to participate in free elections after the Round Table. There cannot be rights without responsibilities and vice versa; the leaders of the Solidarity Party knew their rights and fought for them, they received responsibilities when they promised new rights to the Polish people. Thanks to the leaders of the Solidarity Party taking responsibility for the rights of others, Poland is what it is today and is a great and free nation..
