Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Poles were faced with social discrimination and their culture attacked. In Russian Poland prior to World War I, for example, it was a criminal offense to teach the Polish language. Peasants, in addition, were to be denied any manner of education. In Prussia, Poles were subjected to a debasing program of assimilation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of immigrants in Poland in 2021 were from Ukraine (46.7 thousand immigrants), an increase of 41.2 percent compared to the previous year.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first immigrants from Poland were Silesians from the Prussian partition of Poland. They settled in Texas in 1854, creating an agricultural community that carried their native traditions, customs, and language.

Detailed explanation-4: -Living in Poland can be a great adventure, but the country does pose its challenges for both foreigners and locals. Choosing to live in Poland, especially for those who don’t have Polish roots or connections and know little about the country, will likely involve a steep learning curve but might very well be worth it.
