The main objectives behind the establishment of the Solidarity Movement in Poland were to promote workers' rights and social change through peaceful opposition to communist rule. Founded in 1980, it aimed to fight for better labor conditions, political freedom, and the involvement of citizens in governance. Solidarity, led by Lech Wałęsa, sought to unify various social groups and foster democratic ideals. The movement became crucial in challenging the authoritarian regime and laid the groundwork for political transformations in Poland and the broader Eastern Bloc, ultimately contributing to the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe.
