Answer

Pope John Paul II played a significant role in the collapse of Communism in Poland and the rest of Europe. His visits to Poland in 1979 and 1983 inspired and strengthened the Solidarity movement, which eventually led to the fall of the communist government in 1989. John Paul II's support for democracy and human rights also helped to undermine the legitimacy of Communism in other countries in Eastern Europe.
