Let's see Poland

 Bonjour à tous, je m'appelle Sheng-Lin Yang et mon sujet est un pays en Europe, la Pologne.

 

Les racines de l’histoire polonaise remontent à l’Antiquité, lorsque le territoire de la Pologne actuelle était colonisé par diverses tribus. Cependant, ce sont les Léchites slaves occidentaux, les ancêtres les plus proches des Polonais de souche, qui ont établi des colonies permanentes sur les terres polonaises au début du Moyen Âge. Les Polans léchites occidentaux, une tribu dont le nom signifie « peuple vivant en plein champ », dominaient la région et ont donné son nom à la Pologne, située dans la plaine du centre-nord de l'Europe.

 

La Pologne est un État d'Europe centrale, frontalier avec l'Allemagne à l'ouest, la Tchéquie au sud-ouest, la Slovaquie au sud, l'Ukraine à l'est-sud-est et la Biélorussie à l'est-nord-est, et enfin l'enclave russe de Kaliningrad et la Lituanie au nord-est.

 

La Pologne est un pays situé en Europe centrale en leur langue officielle est le polonais. La capitale et la plus grande ville sont Varsovie. Il existe 16 voïvodies administratives qui couvrent une superficie de 312 696 km. La Pologne aura une population d'environ 38 millions d'habitants en 2021.
