I came across this YouTube video and thought it was pretty interesting to see the way the borders of the Polish state have changed from 960 AD to the current day. From the start of the country, to it's expansion into a great empire, to it's entire disappearance for a while, and finally into it's reappearance.
Ignore the overly-done patriotic sounding music and just watch the map. It's pretty interesting in my opinion. And of course, if you get interested in looking into it a bit more, Wikipedia has a pretty good overview of Polish history from the 10,000 foot level.
