Answer 1

The demands for democratic reforms in Poland led to the replacement of the country's traditional communist leader with a more democratic-leaning one.

What were some of the democratic reforms that were demanded in Poland?

In the 1980s, the democratic reforms that were demanded in Poland included:

1. The right to form independent trade unions.
2. Freedom of speech and the press.
3. The right to strike and protest.
4. Multi-party elections and the establishment of a democratic government.
5. The release of political prisoners.
6. The abolition of censorship and the secret police.
7. Economic reforms to address the country's economic crisis.

These demands were part of the Solidarity movement, which was a social movement and trade union that emerged in Poland in 1980 and played a key role in the country's transition to democracy. The movement was led by Lech Wałęsa, who later became the country's first democratically elected president.
