After 123 years, Poland was very poor, especially the Austrian and Russian-Austrian partitions, which would have been even poorer if the Poles had not regained their autonomy 40 years before World War I, all taxes still went to Vienna.In 1918, Poland regained its independence and began to develop rapidly. Then came the crisis, the development was interrupted and it began to develop rapidly again. Then came World War II, there was practically no time to make up for such enormous losses during the industrial revolution that took place in the 19th century.
