The territorial reforms of Poland shortly after World War II were very comprehensive. Although the whole world was largely affected by World War II, Poland was the most drastically changed.
The country's citizens were inhumanely butchered, their community became practically non-existent along with Polish spirit, and freedom from outside abuse was inaudible for the rest of the century.
Poland gained land from Germany in the West but lost most of its land to the Soviets which is today recognized as the part of Belarus, Ukraine, and Lithuania.
