Poland: 2 - Communism: 1

I have been reading European history lately. Did you know the Communists in Russia made a military attempt in 1920 to bring the wonders of socialism to all of Europe via Germany via Poland?

After a lot of touch and go, the Reds lost the war.

Yeah, Stalin made up for that a bit in '39 and then in 45' but one of those counts as a draw.

1989 makes it 2-1. This from a country that was once obliterated by Germany, Austria, and Russia,

Apparently the lesson should be not to forget Poland.*






*Hey, is this applicable in a trivial pursuit sort of way to 2000-2010?
