Poland and the United States celebrate the centennial of diplomatic relations

Wednesday marked the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Poland and the Unites States. The first U.S. Ambassador to Poland, Hugh Gibson lived and worked out of the Bristol hotel in Warsaw, because there was no U.S. Embassy at the time. Poles has always given thanks to President Woodrow Wilson for supporting a free and independent Poland. Although Poland found itself on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, due to no fault of its own, both countries now enjoy close diplomatic relations and military alliance.
