1. In 1980 Lech Walesa wanted to protest with the workers so he climbed the wall of Lenin Shipyard. The result was that they demanded free trade union.
2. Solidarnosc is the workers union and the name of the movement of Lech Walesa “solidarity” and it succeed in making change happen in the government because they had 10 million members and they struggle to find a way to be able to live with the communist state.
3. After Lech Walesa kept fighting to try to live with the communism he used his power to help his people but the government declared martial law and interned him for 11 months thinking that his movement was going to stop but it continued. Later in 1988 there was another strike were Lech Walesa was the leader and they finally could negotiate with the Polish communists and they triumph.

1. The Catholic Church, and Lech’s Catholic faith, helps the workers because it gave them the right to strike and to organize their independent union.
2. The government of Jeruzeleski didn’t succeed because the people it was very unpopular so he negotiate with Solidarity to hold parliamentary elections so Lech Walesa could established a non-communist government.
The government of Mikhail Gorbachev couldn’t keep the communist parties to stay in power so the non-communist government stays.
3. Lech Walesa was the president of Poland for five years.
Text 3.
1. Lech Walesa loses his job in the shipyards because he protested against the Gierek government that was raising the prizes of food and he emerged as an anti-government union activist.
2. Lech Walesa asks workers of 20 other striking factories in the Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia area.
3. The Roundtable Talks were talks with the Solidarity movement that was invited by the Communist Party.
Text 4.
1. Lech Walesa gave $200,000 because he knew that the country was in a difficult period for society.
2. With the money that Walesa gave to the country was created the National Gift Fund were people could donate all kinds of things.
3. The fund supposed to help the country and people with financial problems
Text 5
1. In 1981 he was arrested in government crackdown for one year. In 1982 was released from internment.
2. He said “War at the top” because his advisers were running the country in cooperation with the former communists. He started fighting a populist campaign against his own former adviser.
3. Poland was to be accepted into NATO so he proposed a NATO for those in waiting.
4. Without Walesa Solidarity might never have been born. I t was because of him that the Polish icebreaking happened, so without him Eastern Europe might still be frozen in a Soviet sphere and every place would be different. Everybody gain freedom. “For our freedom-and yours”
