Communism ended in Poland because

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fall of communism in Poland was primarily due to popular pressure, including protests and strikes, a partially free election in 1989, and the voluntary ceding of power by the Communist authorities to democratic opposition leaders. There was also a degree of international pressure and support from the West, but it was not the main factor in the collapse of communism in Poland. Additionally, the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev was undergoing its own reforms and was less likely to intervene militarily to prop up socialist governments in Eastern Europe.
