In the late Cold War,Poland,which was originally a socialist country,experienced an unprecedented crisis.The Polish Solidarity Union,which emerged from the crisis,eventually replaced the United Workers' Party government.After that,the nature of Polish society changed dramatically.In this Polish transformation,in addition to the reasons for Poland itself,the Western factors represented by the United States and the political factors represented by the Vatican have played an important role.The intricate union and interaction between the two has promoted the great changes in Eastern Europe.first domino.In the process of the United States and the Vatican joining forces with the Polish Solidarity Union to change the Polish regime,the two combined politics and religion,taking advantage of the Catholic character of the Polish Catholic Church,and using materials,funds,radio,and newspapers to propagate the Polish Solidarity Union.,Undermine the stability of the authorities of the United Workers Party,and promote change in Poland.In order to achieve the purpose of the United States to destroy the socialist camp in Eastern Europe and win the victory in the battle with the Soviet Union,and also to achieve the purpose of promoting freedom of religion and increasing religious authority in the Vatican.Although the United States and the Vatican are united,there are still many differences between the two,and frictions continue in the process of cooperation.The union of the two is only due to the consistency of the basic purpose of changing the status quo in Poland.This union,called the "Sacred Alliance",which is not a stable alliance,does not have a too divine aura.In the Polish upheaval of the late 1970 s and 1980 s,the United States,the Vatican,and Poland formed a triangular relationship.The contact point of the triangular relationship was the solidarity union born out of the Polish crisis.This is a typical example of foreign forces infiltrating into a country and acting on the change of state power.It is of significance in modern and international society with deeper and wider international exchanges,both in politics and religion.The social crisis that broke out in Socialist Poland was mainly due to the copying of the Soviet model after the establishment of the socialist system,and the overly rigid imitation caused the state line to be inconsistent with Poland.Without timely adaptation,the needs of the Polish people to improve their living conditions could not be met,and a social crisis broke out naturally.Coupled with the fact that the government has not properly handled the relationship with the Polish native church,it is undoubtedly worse for a country with a large Catholic population like Poland.Therefore,the analysis of the Polish Solidarity Union incident and the role of the United States and the Vatican in this incident is to explore the reasons for Poland's separation from the socialist camp,analyze the influence of foreign forces on national change,and consider the special joint relationship between politics and religion.This has implications for more diverse and complex modern international relations.
