Love Poland from Hungary! Our relationship is old and we helped eachother many times! I love the Polish history and in some way is similar to ours, but in some way different. Wish a better year to Poland (too)!
I think it's important to note that: Poland wasn't on the world map for a terrible 123 years. In the eyes of the world we were non-existent. Yet we survived that time and preserved our language, culture and history, despite oppression, and today stand as a free, independent country. That is incredible.
That's actually not true, I mean the number. Because there was Rzeczpospolita Krakowska and Księstwo Warszawskie. These entities could have been called Poland. Also today Poland is not a free, independent countries. That's why we are getting fines to pay to European Commision or whatever it is called. There's only a handful of independent countries these days.
Except for Turkey which didn't accept Poland's partition. All the years' the sultans' government kept the seat for the Lechistan ambassador. Every time they were presenting ambassadors of Lechictan, answering: did not arrive yet.

I really appreciate your work on pronunciation, using our phrases, pin points of history that shape our perspective and reinforcing our good image at the end. You have not only showed history of Poland, you have, in your own way told the story of Poland.
"Poland decided to invade it and the two countries have disliked each other ever since". I know that the lack of time prevents elaboration, however it's a lie. Muscovites attacked Lithuania (in union with Poland) since the late XV century, and claimed Ruthenia with Kiev with the title of "tsar of all-russia". There is also of course I Northern War, where the muscovites attacked the lands of the former Livonian Order, which pledged loyalty to Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. So the Polish-muscovite conflict is older than XVII century, and Poland definitely is not the agressor. More than that, even the 1609 invasion was a defensive war, becuase it was an effect of the treaty of Vipuri, where muscovites signed an alliance with Sweden, and Sweden was currently at war with the PLC. I guess it's called "preventive war"
Yeah with these kind of relations you can always go back and claim it's the other side who started it. If you want you can start with Ivan the Terrible invading Lithuania. If you want, you can go back few centuries to Casimir the Great invading Ruthenia. And before that Kievan Rus and Polish states fought, all the way back to Bolesław the brave raiding Kyiv in 10th century and Jarosław the Wise revisiting Poznań few years later :) And there were probably wars before that, but the record is spotty at that point :)
@@justynadzt7728 There were more wars vs. Russia. There were hundreds of wars, but we only know about the most important which were written in history books.

Great video! The only thing I found a little off was naming Jadwiga the queen of Poland. She was actually *the king* of Poland, as there was no queen title at the time.
As a Pole my self, I can agree It is a very well-made and history accurate video about my country. Thanks for including Nazi-Soviet alliance, which is often "censored" and not talked about.
Very nice, but it asks to provide several milestones in the Polish history that actually affected the entire Western civilization: 1. In the 12th - 13th century the Kingdom of Poland set its main principle to not be an imperial style of state (as opposed to most of the other European countries). This is later seen that Poland preferred expansion by union not conquest. This union was the most visible with the creation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. (Chronica seu originale regum et principum Poloniae - a Latin history of Poland written by Wincenty Kadłubek between 1190 and 1208 CE). In 17th century the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth tried to unify together with Russia (and that would be a creation of a super state), but... you can take a slave out of Russian state, but you can't take a slave out of a Russian man. 2. 1425 - Neminem captivabimus. Law in Poland requiring due process to any arrested person. Next country that came up with a similar law was England 200 years later. 3. Council of Constance 1478 - Polish legalists defended the rights of pagans and their right to their land over "imperialistic" Western Europe. Next such an idea came up in Spain some 150 years later during South America colonization. 4. The Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791 - the first in Europe and the second in the world (after the US) modern constitution.
🙄 No Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseized of his Freehold, or Liberties, or free Customs, or be outlawed, or exiled, or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the land. Magna Carta, 1215, England
Thanks, all important mile stones and to add: wasn't the Polish Constitution the first in the world ratified just a couple of month earlier on May 3rd, while the U.S. was ratified on December 15th, 1791?
@@alexmultimodalpackrafting915 Ill check it. However, due to the fact the US was a federation of states, the ratification process could have gone far longer. Point being, whether we take the first ratification or the last into consideration.
As i'm Polish im impress how much work you make to compress history of my homeland in that short video including the most greatest moments in polish history. Im greatfull for that .
Thank you very much for presenting the very turbulent, often bloody and sad history of my country. Today, probably no Pole is surprised that in a situation of potential threat on the eastern border of Poland, the government of this country wants to have the strongest army in Europe in a few years. Because Poles, like no other nation, know perfectly well that Freedom is a treasure that is never given forever and must always be ready to defend it. P.S. In the ranking of the American CNN station, Poland is in the first place of countries worth visiting. (Mainly because of the best price/service ratio, I think). On the other hand, my country is not perfect because there are still many things to improve and new things to do. I would say that Poland is only halfway to achieving a prosperous existence.
I feel like calling Paris the second warsaw would be better since a lot of poles went to Paris so it could be seen as their second home(at least it's the case of Marie Curie hehehe)
@@Curiescat-f5f name me a place we didn't emigrate to :D China? Sure, they basically built Harbin. Brasil? Of course, it's one of the last places old polish is still in use (somewhat). Madagascar? Oh yeah, they have their own version of pierogi even though not many poles live there anymore. Paris is kinda close and was for many years in history THE place to go to chase your dreams, similar how NY and LA once were, so no wonder a heavily misplaced nation would have a big presence there. It's nowhere near to how many Poles went to Chicago though, that shit is crazy 🤣
@konrad7492 it's not just the amount of Poles, it's the amount of famous Poles. The seine also reminded Marie of the Vistula, the luxembourg garden reminded her of the saxon...
Hi! You did best job with history in the pill. This is perfect intruduction because it's including every important events but in basic that every person can go deeper with something, but in here you can start to learn more and you will not miss anything. I will recommend this movie, to the tourists.
Respect for shining some light on our artists, and excluding a certain filmmaker who some are so keen to defend despite his awful actions and evasion of responsibility.
thanks man, learned more about my country's history in 7 minutes then after 9 years of history lessons at school :D Well narrated quick facts properly represented visually, sprinkled with some humor, and summarised with appreciation for the nation's achievements - kudos for the formula. I'm diving into your chanell for more info about other countries' history! Thanks!
Calling winged hussars "heavy cavalery" is bit of a streach as they used both heavy and light cavalery tactics depending on situation, so proper term would be "versatile". They decidedly used heavy cavalery tactics against other cavalery (where they lingered using tactics similar to curasiers of the period) and focused on ligtning fast strikes against infantry (focused on contiuing momentum- and where famous long yet hollow inside lances where used to great effect). They where swiss army knife of a cavalery- using difrent bits for difrent tasks- after all "standard" armament (it was self selective, self stndardisng and self orgasining type of unit structure) of hussar where at couple dozen lances called "little trees"/"drzewko" (as they where single use guaranteeing couple of kills on tightly formed infantry), cavalery sabre (usually "hungarian style"), 1.5m long rapier ("koncerz") or backsword of similar lenght (as a back up for emergency changes when there is no time to grab new lance and there is a need for another charge/selfefence), couple of pistols (preferably multibarelled and using wheellock for reliablity) for anti-cavalery work, and couple of horses (breed that is lost to histry being mix of nimble middle-eastern cavalery horses mixed with heavier bulkier breeds typical for heavy cavalery- so there is a possiblity to recreate that breed just like it was done with many polish breeds of dogs known - like it was done to polish lowland shepard dog). Note- hussar armor was usually ligher than curassier armor of same periods featuring little to no protection of legs and back, focusing on frontal effectivness.
Good job! I appreciate it very much as a Pole, since this is perhaps one of the best summaries of Polish history I've seen. It's also impressive that you nailed the pronounciation - brilliant! I only missed the name of Józef Piłsudski, who was a key figure in Poland between the World Wars and should have been noted. Others have already noted the fact of Jadwiga being a king, not a queen (I know, strange - when I learned it at school it was also weird for me - that's how naming worked back then in Polish). Everything else is perfect as for such a short form.
This was very helpful and interesting!! I'm from Buenos Aires and I'm very interested in learning more about Polish history (because I'm researching a T. Kantor's work). I wonder if you could recommend material to continue learning about the history of Poland? Thank you !! 🤍
For those who say that Jadwiga was "King" and not a "Queen". She was "Queen", but ruler, not King's wife. The problem is that in Poland there was no instance of female ruler before Jadwiga, so there was no reason to create new title. When Jadwiga was coronated, she was coronated as "Król", but she was female, and english word for female king is "queen". So... Yes, Jadwiga was "Król", but she was not "King", she was "Queen", because both "King" and "Queen" in terms of ruler (not ruler wife/husband) are translated into "Król"... Well, it was, because right now there is sex distinction King = król, Queen = królowa. But back in time of Jadwiga, there was no such distinction, "Królowa" was wife of the King, and "Król" was a ruler despite of their gender, even if in other languages there was distinction. So yes, Jadwiga was Queen, and yes, Jadwiga was "król".
4:34 The Painting used for January Uprising is depicting the November Uprising. During the January Uprising soldiers did not have army uniforms, which was the case during the November uprising. Funnily enough this painting and a question about uprisings was featured in the secondary school exams during my school times. Many people failed that question because they did not consider that it does sometimes snow in November in Poland.
Great video, I think that the Duchy of Warsaw is worth mentioning, the time when Napoleon gave Poland few years of independence (at least from previous oppressors). It is mentioned in our national epic Pan Tadeusz.
I wouldn't say that Poland and Russia disliked each other since 1609, the bad blood started to develop more than 100 years earlier, when muscovites were attacking Lithuania which was already in personal union with Poland. But still, the video is great!
3 times : 1. Europe was supposed to be Islamist . The strongest formation in the world at that time, King Sobieski's Hussars, decided to defeat the biggest on the world Ottoman"s army near Vienna 2. Europe was supposed to be communist . If the Poles had lost the Battle of Warsaw in 1920, the Soviet chords would certainly have reached Berlin, where they would have strengthened the German communist movement there, and then this band of "people's liberators" would have moved to France. 3 . All Europe was supposed to be lost freedom . If Britain had lost to Hitler in 1940, all of Europe would have lost its freedom for many years. (then regaining freedom would be possible if the German army, armed for years, would probably lose to the USA after a long war. And assuming that the American president would take up the fight instead of concluding a non-aggression pact with Hitler) Polish pilots during the Battle of Britain accounted for 5% of all pilots and shot down 12% of enemy aircraft. After winning the battle, the commander of the Royal Air Force, Sir Hugh Dowding, said that if it had not been for the participation of Polish pilots, the outcome of this battle could have gone differently. In this battle, the German air force suffered such heavy losses that Hitler decided to stop attacking altogether. Historians believe that if the battle had lasted about 2 more weeks then the already very tired British air force would have surrendered. Someone also calculated that these 12% of shot downs by Polish pilots is the equivalent of these 2 weeks of combat, which would have given the Nazis a victory. It can be said that the fate of Europe hung in the balance at that time.

Thanks for a quick summary of political history of Poland. When it comes to quality of life in Poland, I just came over a survey showing a high level of extremely poor living conditions, and a high suicide rate among men and the elderly -probably related to inadequate social support. There is also high level of homelessness in the country, with a number of homeless freezing to death every winter.

Thank You for doing such an amazing job at telling the history of Poland. But i am a little sad that u didn't include the real reason why Russia "hates us", basically Poland was the only country to ever capture Moscow while it was the capital city. The only other time Moscow was captured, which was done by Napoleon, St.Petersburg was the capital at that time and also they kinda marched into an abandoned city couse of the defensive tactics used by the Russians.

Fun fact - english videos about Poland are often very popular, as many Polish people watch them. From my personal view, it's a thing because we were taught about 123 years being erased from the maps. At that time, patriotism was practised by people with talents/skills to go to other countries and contribute to the culture/society, being known as a Polish people of non-existing country... because if people will remember about Poland then we won't get extinct. So... this mentality of being proud of Polish history, talking about it in global media is still visible, and still lives on because at that time it was the only hope we got to get back on the maps.
I think it's the biggest country-level trauma in here - being erased from maps, being forbidden to use Polish language... Fortunately, as globalisation goes on, newer generations are being more free of it

There is also of course I Northern War, where the muscovites attacked the lands of the former Livonian Order, which pledged loyalty to Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. So the Polish-muscovite conflict is older than XVII century, and Poland definitely is not the agressor. More than that, even the 1609 invasion was a defensive war, becuase it was an effect of the treaty of Vipuri, where muscovites signed an alliance with Sweden, and Sweden was currently at war with the PLC. I guess it's called "preventive war"
Yeah with these kind of relations you can always go back and claim it's the other side who started it. If you want you can start with Ivan the Terrible invading Lithuania. If you want, you can go back few centuries to Casimir the Great invading Ruthenia. And before that Kievan Rus and Polish states fought, all the way back to Bolesław the brave raiding Kyiv in 10th century and Jarosław the Wise revisiting Poznań few years later :) And there were probably wars before that, but the record is spotty at that point :)
There have been 19 wars between Poland and Russia in history, so it's quite complicated
@@justynadzt7728 There were more wars vs. Russia. There were hundreds of wars, but we only know about the most important which were written in history books. The chronology about history is fixed that's why we have DARK AGES. The Great wars are collected from other countries and put in books. Even now the new things are coming to light about history as we know
Bzdury, to nie była żadna wojna tylko zaproszenie przez bojarów rosyjskich którzy byli przeciwnikami cara, nie było żadnej bitwy Moskwa nie została podbita żadną bitwą 🤷♂️

A fair and balanced review with a good flow and helpful visuals.
Poland is just amazing. Thanks Mr History so much information delivered so quickly!
Dude, you nailed every single important event in Polish history better than any of my history teachers that tried to do the same. Dziękuję
Great video! The only thing I found a little off was naming Jadwiga the queen of Poland. She was actually *the king* of Poland, as there was no queen title at the time.
That is true. Her husband was also called king, we had two kings at this time…
It cannot be understated how much of a cultural icon St. John Paul II is in Poland. Almost every town and city has a statue of the man.
Never seen your channel before, but when somebody brings up history of my country I’m always grateful.
Love Poland! Lived in Radom for a year. Great people and great food!
As a Pole my self, I can agree It is a very well-made and history accurate video about my country. Thanks for including Nazi-Soviet alliance, which is often "censored" and not talked about.
It was so joyful to watch this and listen, how you have managed to pronounce all Polish names and surnames. Splendid and cheers to you good sire.
One of the best movies about the history of Poland! Thanks !!
Very nice, but it asks to provide several milestones in the Polish history that actually affected the entire Western civilization:
1. In the 12th - 13th century the Kingdom of Poland set its main principle to not be an imperial style of state (as opposed to most of the other European countries). This is later seen that Poland preferred expansion by union not conquest. This union was the most visible with the creation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. (Chronica seu originale regum et principum Poloniae - a Latin history of Poland written by Wincenty Kadłubek between 1190 and 1208 CE).
In 17th century the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth tried to unify together with Russia (and that would be a creation of a super state), but... you can take a slave out of Russian state, but you can't take a slave out of a Russian man.
2. 1425 - Neminem captivabimus. Law in Poland requiring due process to any arrested person. Next country that came up with a similar law was England 200 years later.
3. Council of Constance 1478 - Polish legalists defended the rights of pagans and their right to their land over "imperialistic" Western Europe. Next such an idea came up in Spain some 150 years later during South America colonization.
4. The Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791 - the first in Europe and the second in the world (after the US) modern constitution.

@@tomaszniemy6066 Dzieki za info!
Thanks, all important mile stones and to add: wasn't the Polish Constitution the first in the world ratified just a couple of month earlier on May 3rd, while the U.S. was ratified on December 15th, 1791?
@@alexmultimodalpackrafting915 Ill check it. However, due to the fact the US was a federation of states, the ratification process could have gone far longer. Point being, whether we take the first ratification or the last into consideration.
As i'm Polish im impress how much work you make to compress history of my homeland in that short video including the most greatest moments in polish history. Im greatfull for that .
Thank you very much for presenting the very turbulent, often bloody and sad history of my country. Today, probably no Pole is surprised that in a situation of potential threat on the eastern border of Poland, the government of this country wants to have the strongest army in Europe in a few years. Because Poles, like no other nation, know perfectly well that Freedom is a treasure that is never given forever and must always be ready to defend it.
P.S. In the ranking of the American CNN station, Poland is in the first place of countries worth visiting. (Mainly because of the best price/service ratio, I think).
On the other hand, my country is not perfect because there are still many things to improve and new things to do. I would say that Poland is only halfway to achieving a prosperous existence.
Also fun fact: Before its complete destruction in WW2, Warsaw, Polands captial, was often reffered to as "Paris of the east"
Also the same architect Georges-Eugène Haussmann designed Paris and Szczecin
I feel like calling Paris the second warsaw would be better since a lot of poles went to Paris so it could be seen as their second home(at least it's the case of Marie Curie hehehe)
@@Curiescat-f5f name me a place we didn't emigrate to :D China? Sure, they basically built Harbin. Brasil? Of course, it's one of the last places old polish is still in use (somewhat). Madagascar? Oh yeah, they have their own version of pierogi even though not many poles live there anymore.
Paris is kinda close and was for many years in history THE place to go to chase your dreams, similar how NY and LA once were, so no wonder a heavily misplaced nation would have a big presence there. It's nowhere near to how many Poles went to Chicago though, that shit is crazy 🤣
@konrad7492 it's not just the amount of Poles, it's the amount of famous Poles. The seine also reminded Marie of the Vistula, the luxembourg garden reminded her of the saxon...
Your attemps to use polish pronunciation are very much appreciated. Regards from Poland
Can't wrap my head around when I think of how much you had to practice the names pronounciation. Amazing job
Finally someone has learned to pronounce Polish stuff good. Great job!
Hi! You did best job with history in the pill. This is perfect intruduction because it's including every important events but in basic that every person can go deeper with something, but in here you can start to learn more and you will not miss anything. I will recommend this movie, to the tourists.
Poland, the protector of Europe and Christianity.
Greetings from South Korea.
Great job, really enjoyed it- particularly the objectivism in this video!

It took long, but another amazing video from this channel popped out! Enjoyed as always! Portugal is next!
Respect for shining some light on our artists, and excluding a certain filmmaker who some are so keen to defend despite his awful actions and evasion of responsibility.
Just 7 min of incredibly accurate history summary. Good Job!
I have been waiting for this as a Pole for ages also really good pronouncation
thanks man, learned more about my country's history in 7 minutes then after 9 years of history lessons at school :D
Well narrated quick facts properly represented visually, sprinkled with some humor, and summarised with appreciation for the nation's achievements - kudos for the formula. I'm diving into your chanell for more info about other countries' history! Thanks!
For some reason I shed a tear. I guess Poland's history wasn't all that bad looking at the whole thing.
Nice video!
Oh it was really bad... But maybe the video wasn't! Either way, have a good one!
Thank you for this episode. Good Job.👍
Calling winged hussars "heavy cavalery" is bit of a streach as they used both heavy and light cavalery tactics depending on situation, so proper term would be "versatile". They decidedly used heavy cavalery tactics against other cavalery (where they lingered using tactics similar to curasiers of the period) and focused on ligtning fast strikes against infantry (focused on contiuing momentum- and where famous long yet hollow inside lances where used to great effect). They where swiss army knife of a cavalery- using difrent bits for difrent tasks- after all "standard" armament (it was self selective, self stndardisng and self orgasining type of unit structure) of hussar where at couple dozen lances called "little trees"/"drzewko" (as they where single use guaranteeing couple of kills on tightly formed infantry), cavalery sabre (usually "hungarian style"), 1.5m long rapier ("koncerz") or backsword of similar lenght (as a back up for emergency changes when there is no time to grab new lance and there is a need for another charge/selfefence), couple of pistols (preferably multibarelled and using wheellock for reliablity) for anti-cavalery work, and couple of horses (breed that is lost to histry being mix of nimble middle-eastern cavalery horses mixed with heavier bulkier breeds typical for heavy cavalery- so there is a possiblity to recreate that breed just like it was done with many polish breeds of dogs known - like it was done to polish lowland shepard dog).
Note- hussar armor was usually ligher than curassier armor of same periods featuring little to no protection of legs and back, focusing on frontal effectivness.
Man! For such a short video few facts here and ther are really made in shortcut but you capture vibe and spirit of Poland 👍
Wyjątkowo PROFESJONALNIE RZECZOWO I DOKŁADNIE ! przedstawiona historia Polski.
Good job! I appreciate it very much as a Pole, since this is perhaps one of the best summaries of Polish history I've seen. It's also impressive that you nailed the pronounciation - brilliant! I only missed the name of Józef Piłsudski, who was a key figure in Poland between the World Wars and should have been noted. Others have already noted the fact of Jadwiga being a king, not a queen (I know, strange - when I learned it at school it was also weird for me - that's how naming worked back then in Polish). Everything else is perfect as for such a short form.
Thank you for the short and concise thousand-year history of Poland...
This was very helpful and interesting!! I'm from Buenos Aires and I'm very interested in learning more about Polish history (because I'm researching a T. Kantor's work). I wonder if you could recommend material to continue learning about the history of Poland? Thank you !! 🤍
For those who say that Jadwiga was "King" and not a "Queen". She was "Queen", but ruler, not King's wife.
The problem is that in Poland there was no instance of female ruler before Jadwiga, so there was no reason to create new title. When Jadwiga was coronated, she was coronated as "Król", but she was female, and english word for female king is "queen". So... Yes, Jadwiga was "Król", but she was not "King", she was "Queen", because both "King" and "Queen" in terms of ruler (not ruler wife/husband) are translated into "Król"... Well, it was, because right now there is sex distinction King = król, Queen = królowa. But back in time of Jadwiga, there was no such distinction, "Królowa" was wife of the King, and "Król" was a ruler despite of their gender, even if in other languages there was distinction. So yes, Jadwiga was Queen, and yes, Jadwiga was "król".
4:34 The Painting used for January Uprising is depicting the November Uprising. During the January Uprising soldiers did not have army uniforms, which was the case during the November uprising. Funnily enough this painting and a question about uprisings was featured in the secondary school exams during my school times. Many people failed that question because they did not consider that it does sometimes snow in November in Poland.
Very well made recap of Poland's tough history, thank you! Cheers from Warsaw :)
Quite on point, well done, gratuluję :D
Great video, I think that the Duchy of Warsaw is worth mentioning, the time when Napoleon gave Poland few years of independence (at least from previous oppressors). It is mentioned in our national epic Pan Tadeusz.
Short and sweet. Well done..Slava Polski
The fuck does Slava Polski mean?
chwała Polsce*
we’re not Ukraine bruh ☠️
I wouldn't say that Poland and Russia disliked each other since 1609, the bad blood started to develop more than 100 years earlier, when muscovites were attacking Lithuania which was already in personal union with Poland.
But still, the video is great!
Coming from a Pole GREAT JOB! You did mention all of the most important things in our history that are deeply embedded in our culture, very nice video
poland saved europe 2 time yet they get treated badly by everyone
sadly yes
3 times :
1. Europe was supposed to be Islamist .
The strongest formation in the world at that time, King Sobieski's Hussars, decided to defeat the biggest on the world Ottoman"s army near Vienna
2. Europe was supposed to be communist .
If the Poles had lost the Battle of Warsaw in 1920, the Soviet chords would certainly have reached Berlin, where they would have strengthened the German communist movement there, and then this band of "people's liberators" would have moved to France.
3 . All Europe was supposed to be lost freedom .
If Britain had lost to Hitler in 1940, all of Europe would have lost its freedom for many years. (then regaining freedom would be possible if the German army, armed for years, would probably lose to the USA after a long war. And assuming that the American president would take up the fight instead of concluding a non-aggression pact with Hitler)
Polish pilots during the Battle of Britain accounted for 5% of all pilots and shot down 12% of enemy aircraft.
After winning the battle, the commander of the Royal Air Force, Sir Hugh Dowding, said that if it had not been for the participation of Polish pilots, the outcome of this battle could have gone differently.
In this battle, the German air force suffered such heavy losses that Hitler decided to stop attacking altogether. Historians believe that if the battle had lasted about 2 more weeks then the already very tired British air force would have surrendered.
Someone also calculated that these 12% of shot downs by Polish pilots is the equivalent of these 2 weeks of combat, which would have given the Nazis a victory.
It can be said that the fate of Europe hung in the balance at that time.
2 or 3 times lol guys how cute.
Many more times to be factual.
But the most famous ones are sobieksi saving europe, and defeating lenin yes and who forgets us being the only ones taking moscow ;)
They literally worked with the Russian Tsar against haidamaks in 1768l.
techniclly, Jadwiga was a KING weardly enough before her marrage when she became a queen.

Thanks for a quick summary of political history of Poland.
When it comes to quality of life in Poland, I just came over a survey showing a high level of extremely poor living conditions, and a high suicide rate among men and the elderly -probably related to inadequate social support. There is also high level of homelessness in the country, with a number of homeless freezing to death every winter.

Thank You for doing such an amazing job at telling the history of Poland. But i am a little sad that u didn't include the real reason why Russia "hates us", basically Poland was the only country to ever capture Moscow while it was the capital city. The only other time Moscow was captured, which was done by Napoleon, St.Petersburg was the capital at that time and also they kinda marched into an abandoned city couse of the defensive tactics used by the Russians. Sooo yeah. keep up the great work

Fun fact - english videos about Poland are often very popular, as many Polish people watch them. From my personal view, it's a thing because we were taught about 123 years being erased from the maps. At that time, patriotism was practised by people with talents/skills to go to other countries and contribute to the culture/society, being known as a Polish people of non-existing country... because if people will remember about Poland then we won't get extinct. So... this mentality of being proud of Polish history, talking about it in global media is still visible, and still lives on because at that time it was the only hope we got to get back on the maps.
I think it's the biggest country-level trauma in here - being erased from maps, being forbidden to use Polish language... Fortunately, as globalisation goes on, newer generations are being more free of it
Why didn't you include the chunk with napoleon
This. The entire period with the Polish Legions and the Duchy of Warsaw isn’t mentioned at all.
Awesome vid. One thing though Jadwiga was a King not a Queen. In Polish history Queen was a title given to Kings wife. :)
