Poland is an example of a country whose boundaries have changing so significantly that it has literally moved around europe . At the start of 16th century . Poland was the largest nation in europe .Between 1772 and 1795 ,it was absorbed into prussia ,austria and russia and it effectively ceased to exist . After the first world war , poland became an independent countary once more . But its border is changed again after second world war following invasions by both soviet russia and nazi germany .
