A picture in the "Things that look like Alternate History but aren't" thread, featuring blacks in the Polish-Soviet War but titled "Polish Colonial adventurers in Africa," made me think. Under what circumstances can we have Poland develop an overseas colonial Empire comparable to that of, if not Spain and Britain, then maybe France or Portugal. Poland having major Polish-speaking colonies in the New World, Africa, and maybe some trading posts in the Indian or Pacific oceans. Bonus points if Polish becomes a major global language, the way English is IOTL.
