Answers
Answer:
In 1980, Poland was ruled by a communist party known as The Polish United Worker’s Party. Under the communist regime, all factories and big property were owned by the government. Strikes to show grievances were illegal, and so were independent trade unions.
Poland's transition to democracy came with the formation of the workers union known as Solidarity under the leadership of Lech Walesa. Lech Walesa was elected the President of Poland. Chile was a military dictatorship, while Poland was ruled by a communist political party. Chile witnessed a transition from democratic to non-democratic and back to democracy, whereas Poland witnessed a transition from non-democratic to democratic.
The similarities, between the two:
1. The people could not choose or change the rulers.
2. There was no freedom of expression.
3. The people could not form political associations or organise peaceful protests, and could not take political action.
