How much violence was there when the Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa became the Rzeczpospolita Polska?

The US transition to end slavery (ca 1860) was very violent, and the US attempt to end lynching (ca 1960) was not without deaths.




Much more. 90s were a pretty violent period, there was a lot of organized crime. It mostly solved itself by mid 00s for several reasons related to EU accession.


That's a bummer. You all managed to have a bloodless revolution, then got lots of violence in return. Sorry to hear, but glad it's much better now.
