![Teacher Reacts To "Geography Now - Germany" [FAV COUNTRY]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_902xs0sHQ8/mqdefault.jpg)
Hi guys! I really wanted to know more about the bear so I reacted to a video about it! :) Watch here: ruclips.net/video/5k5uppp1kng/видео.html
Yes. Poland or actually Polska, come prom Tribe of Polans/Polanie, what mean People of the Fields.
And yes. Pole in Polish also mean Field (or outside in specific context).
The word "pole" has the same meaning in polish.
This is the slavic languages similarity haha (even tho polish seem more different than more eastern ones.
But after all we were one country for a while and we even share the "hej sokoly" song ;)
That’s so cool! 😄
09:06 No it doesnt translate directly as "mistake". Its a form of this word. It really translate to "place you can get lost yourself".
Ooooh makes sense!
Not exactly. "Błędów" LITERALLY translated is "of mistakes". The info was about the literal translation only. "Błędów" having its roots in "błądzić" (deviate) could be easier to explain that way but this wasn't the authors' intention, for sure.
Poland is a wonderful country and the people are in general wonderful and very hospitable, which I have experienced personally during my one visit to Poland in 1987. One of the amazing things of Warsaw is that the historic Old Town was completely rebuild in detail. In WW2 it was almost entirely destroyed. I also visited Auschwitz and being at that location where the worst atrocity of our past has taken place really had a tremendous impact on me. At the time it was a lot less of a "tourist attraction" then it is nowadays and walking in the camp almost alone was almost surreal. Poland is a country everybody should go to at least once: beautiful landscapes, great people, delicious food and wonderful buildings/monuments et cetera.
I didn’t know that the city was rebuilt! Wow 👏🏻 that must have been such a hard job!
@@innasoloreacts It was. Warsaw is "phoenix rising from the ashes". Google it.
@@innasoloreacts Warsaw was destroyed in 86%, and the old town in nearly 100%. A similar fate befell many other Polish towns and villages. Most of the country had to be rebuilt.
Poland 1987 and Poland 2023 that's a huge difference. We cordially invite you to visit our home again.
@@Troya19 I plan to!
1) No one knows for sure why Łódź is called Łódź. There are some theories but are not confirmed. For example it can come from the word łoza (łodzia in old Polish) a type of tree. A surname Łodzia - an old Polish noble family. Or from name Włodzisław. And despite the fact it Łódź indeed means "a boat" today it is not very likely it had anything to do with the name of the town.
2) Błędów - in Polish mistake = "błąd" so Błędów would be "a place where you can make a mistake" or maybe "it is a mistake to go there". Not really sure about this one.
3) No, the bears collar had nothing to do with it :) The bear was an official, enlisted soldier and reached the rank of corporal. The bear was acting on its own during battles and on its own accord. It did what it liked. It was paid in food, beer and cigarettes and the chain was only used because soldiers from other nations tended to become nervous when it was just going wherever it wanted. Think more like a very big dog and not a bear :) There are a few good youtube videos about this. You can do a reaction to one of them if you wish. It is a very nice and heartwarming story.
4) When thinking about location vs geography and invasions it is best to compare Switzerland and Poland. Both are countries right smack in the middle between large empires that went to war many times with each other. Poland was invaded constantly because it is flat and it is the shortest path from one empire to the other. Swizerland was hardly ever invaded because the only flat pieces of terrain there are vertical. Everyone goes around it.
That’s so interesting! I definitely wanna know more about the bear! So fascinating
there is one more theory for łódź name and its that this region was big swamps and flooded in general
Wojtek became a soldier and received a military rank because Polish soldiers were sent to the front to fight in Italy, and the regulations forbade animals to be taken on board the ship, so the commanders of the Polish army took Wojtek into the army, he then received a military rank and documents confirming that he is a soldier. Then Wojtek was no longer an ordinary animal but a soldier. No one could forbid a soldier to board a ship 😉
@@11kimczi yes, more like it, or land for city had boat shape between some lakes at the time.
Łodzia, w staropolskim była też określeniem na nieckę w kształcie łodzi, w jakiej to Łódź jest położona, więc na 90% to było genezą nazwy miasta
"Błąd" means an error, but Błędów may derive from "błądzić" which means to stray, get lost or commit a blunder. So the place may simply mean an area where it's easy to get lost.
"Załatwić" also means to arrange - and has often been used as an euphemim for obtaining something through back channels (possibly with bribes)
Dutch myself, heart belongs to Ukraine, but the Poles hold a special place too. Love my Polish friends. I had to laugh about the sketch where "Polish" people were complaining about the government and then a foreigner comes in. Just make sure you are friends with Poles and understand the politics, then those friends will allow you to complain as well (as long as it is with them - don't argue 😝).😆
Every time I visit Poland I will eat pierogi and żurek (the rey soup). Of course I had some other dishes as well (mainly pork, like the knuckle or huge pork chops), which come from suggestions friends make, when asking what places are great to visit.
My standard dishes in Ukraine are vareniki and borscht. I haven't had cabbage roles in either country yet, but did make it myself twice.🤔
Bear- Wojtek was caring ammunition during battles with the Germans in Italy, when Polish army fought there under British command.
The fact that you were born in Ukraine explains your beauty. Ukrainian and Polish women are the most beautiful women in the world. They have an incredible charm. Like you!🥰
Thank you very much 😊
as a German I say, her appearance and gestures/mimics are indeed on the positive side of life, but lets face the truth: if she said she is from Lithuania then you had now offered a Lithuanian and Polish stereotype ... ;)
Mikołaj Kopernik was so "tenically German" that he fought against the Teutonic Order all his life. Yes, that makes sense 😂
He raised and lived in a typical German environment within a typical Central Europe greater mixed constellation (mostly German-Westslavic environments - Silesia was mostly German back then anyway) and sided like his father with a German Prussian movement which split up from the German Teutonic order state. This autonomous Prussian kingdom movement sided with the king of Poland. You had btw. also Germans with Polish background siding and being part of the Nazis and invading Poland, just like you had many Germans fighting for the US/Allies against the Nazis back then - actually already in many wars before. Also in the 30 years war, in the 7 years war (technically the first World War) and back to Roman times you find all kind of combinations where sometimes Germanic and Slavic tribes fighting against each other or together against other Germanic and Slavic tribes, sometimes siding with the Romans, sometimes later with Eastern Roman, sometimes with Western Romans, fighting for the Huns etc. - against them etc.. You have football player in Europe of different origins who play all the time against the country of their origin. If you take your argument serious than you had never civil wars, arguments or splits in families or relationships and so on. And imagine people with different mixed backgrounds (like you have in Europe or are especially in the US very common). Do you think each fragment of such ppl has to side in every case with its technical origin? You had also back then (we talk here about the late middle age) also not a common national feeling but rather a complex connection to the regional communities or entities - in combinations with the influences of the different dynasties/rulers ...
@@publicminx And this is interesting because this, in your opinion, "German" Nicolaus Copernicus wrote in a letter to the Polish King Sigismund, where he wrote that "he would defend Olsztyn against the Teutonic Knights even at the risk of his life, because he was a faithful subject of the Polish king" 🤣🤣🤣
@@rayan69pl no. The 'Kingdom or Prussia' (keep in mind, its a 'kingdom'. Who was the first king? Ops, a German) was technically later. The Kopernikus (Father and Son) supported the 'Prussian Bund' (Prussian confederation which run actually more under: „Bund vor Gewalt und Unrecht“) which was a union of different German nobilities and cities WITHIN the Deutsche Orden states. It was also a BRANCH/split off of the Deutschen Orden! The Baltic tribes who lived there before were at first resistent to the Polish tries to christianize them. The Polish called for help to the Holy Roman Empire from which the 'Deutsche Orden' formed (mostly Western-North Germans (including 'Dutch' from the much later Netherlands). This orden moved in, Chrstianized AND this region became also a spot for Germans to migrate/settle to and in - which is called 'East settling' (East colonisation) and led then over time to a majority of Germans and/or Germanized Baltics and some Germanized Slavics. This was already some time before the 'Preussische Bund' was found found 14. März 1440 in 'Marienwerder' (one of the at that time German city names just like Danzig and others). And because of that, unsurprisingly, the Kopernikus family just like most of their mostly German communities were not as you try to sell Baltics but Germans. The reason why they separated from the Deutschen Orden had also nothing to do with culture but just with feeling oppressed due to the higher taxation (which was the result of that the Deutsche Orden was after the lost battle of Grunwald/Tannenberg forced to pay tributes to the Kingdom of Poland). It is just twisted history to believe that they were Baltics who fought the Deutsche Orden due to being German. No, it was mostly Germans who fought another German entity due to quite pragmatic reasons like taxing etc.The name 'Prussia' refers to an older Baltic tribe region but doesnt mean that there were still mostly former natives. Chicago also refers to the indigenous word 'shikaakwa' (created by ppl who once lived in this region) but most people in Chicago are obviously not former natives. That you also had some Germanized Baltic and mixed families could btw.be seen by the Tolkien family (Lord of the Rings, Tolkien = old Prussian name) which had ties to Eastern Prussia but also to Northern Germany.
And keep in mind: the Teutonic Order/Deutsche Orden (German order) and Prussia always had a connection to the Holy Roman Empire! And it is pointless to deny that Nokolaus Kopernikus was not grown up, educated and lived in a typical German speaking and cultural environment. His 'girlfriend relation' was Andrea Schilling (a house keeper). His mother was Barbara Watzenrode. His sister was named after her Barbara as well. His other sister Katharina married a guy with the name Bartel Gertner. Keep also in mind that cities like Danzik or Thorn were also at that time member of the Hanse. Also the architecture of where the Kopernikus family likely lived looks for a reason quite similar to the typical Northern German (Luebeck, Bremen etc.) inspired style which you can find through out the Hanse regions. Keep also in mind that 'Poland' as such (just like other neighboring states) were anyway mostly influenced by the dominant Holy Roman Empire sphere. This doesnt mean that it was unidirectional. Its rather that there were many creative regions within this Empire and his neighbors which were permanently part of 'progress' - often much more than the focus just on the 'big entities' implies.
@@publicminx And then aliens who were also Germans came and said that Copernicus was also German 🤦
Łódź mean a "boat" now, but is not this not origin this name. In old ages, original name is "Łodzia" (similar sound too "boat") but orinig from geologic form valley, when this place exist.
Language has change and now, this is "Łódź" = "boat". But is from terrain form, not "boat".
Wojtek the Bear was a heavy smoker. He was promoted to Corporal and hence eligible for an addequate ration of cigarettes.
today he was likely a heavy vapor ...
6:49 Polish word POLE is derived from a pan-Slavic word meaning originally a plain fit for cultivation proto-Slavic polje.
(Czech pole, Slovak pole, Ukrainian поле , Belarusian поле, Croatian polje, Serbian поље, Macedonian поле, Bulgarian поле).
The roots are even Indoeuropean with similar meaning. German feld comes from the same source.
and in Krakow when we go outside we says ide na pole
4:00 As I commented there, I will said it here: it's a sensless division - Mazury (Masuria) is missing, whose capital is... Warsaw and Kujawy (Kuyavia). 8:10 Yeah and also here - Odra (Odra) - the second largest river in our country. 17:12 And that's not true.
Nice reaction.
1) Malbork - the biggest BRICK castle in Europe.
2) Channel TRWAM is not dedicated to the Pope but to our Catholic religion.
3) Vodka is popular, it is in most of the shops but takes 1 - 3 racks. I haven't seen such long space as in the video.
4) Ask people about Turoń... noone knows what is it...
TRWAM is simply cancer that spreads to old people’s brains. Also not everyone is catholic
Progeniturae is in Greek-Roman culture where we belong by sword, Kopernicus father was Polish mother German so he was Polish Nation
When the Polish state was formed, all Slavic languages were almost identical. The split happened later. That's why the names sound similar.
2:55 Lack of access to the sea, lake, or even big river is one of reasons of jokes about Łódź. It's one of the most memical city in Poland. Łódź is some kind of polish Detroit. Good place for urbex with postindustrial vibe with factories changed into restaurants shops and fancy cafes
Vs Detroit which had a Polish town in it Hamtramck. I say HAD because the Poles assimilated very quickly. In 1970 it would have been 90% Polish but I suspect a good percent of that were Ukrainian. Perhaps the Ukraine museum would have more details. But lacking the need for a dedicated Polish-Town it's now occupied by roughly 60% Muslim peoples chiefly from Yemen and Bangladesh. We jokingly call it the promised land because we promise you can have it, just don't lose your language and culture like we did.
It’s ironic that the capital is Warsaw…….because Polish people over the centuries always have seen war or conflicts in their country for one reason or another….at least one time during history Poland disappeared because of disputes over land with countries that were in power at the time
Nazwa "Polanie" wzięła się stąd że sąsiedzi kiedy chcieli dostać lanie to przyjeżdżali do nas. Dlatego mówiąc że jadą do sąsiadów po lanie nazwali nas "Polanie". 😂
Tak mogło być...😊
As I read, according to Łódź, the name comes not from the boats or river or lakes, because there are no important waters near Łódź, but from shape of terrain because, as I read, Łódź lies in panful of the shape of how boats looks in old times.
That was nice :)
Błędów may also come from the word "błądzić" =to wander about in various directions, which makes more sense when speaking about desert.
Or it could mean mistake because if I'm not mistaken Błędów was forested until over mining and logging resulted in a change of conditions, a lowering of the water table, and exposing the sand deposited by a glacier. From my understanding without intervention it'll get reclaimed by the forest.
@@mattzukowski1207 Sure! I guess we will never know for sure.
Ukrainian and Polish similar not just a little bit, but almost 70% of words have same roots and same meaning usually, but writes in different alphabets and phonetically.
I personally think that it's incorrect to say that belarussian, ukrainian and russian are the same language group. Russian language have it's big impact only on the late stages of ukrainian and belorussian languages development, which we directly see in spelling and orthography of these languages.
But when we go to the roots, polish and ukrainian have very similar linguistics, and russian have its absolute different way from all others slavic languages.
I think Polish, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Ukrainian and Belorussian should be in the same slavic languages group. And russian is different slavic group on its own, without any offence meaning to russian language, they just have different history of language development
But because of russian empire and political domination in region, russian scientists divided slavic languages on west, east, south groups and the world just accepted it...
5:20 WTF DO YOU MEAN BY "TOO MANY CHURCHES"!? deus vult in yo face my frien.
6:50 Yep, we do have languague connections, it's like when i hear Ukrainian languague i can almost fully understand it all (You guys speak really fast i must say, especially Ukrainian ladies XD ) it's different but quite understandable, also I know just a couple ukrainian words and I'm not able to speak one.
21:37 In this guy vid i cas see a typical kind of missunderstending of poland-russia relations, but maybe it's just my point of view, and my family, and my friends, and all polish people i know... XD
Thanks for the vid Inna.
@michasztuka: try to understand 'contexts'. 'too many churches does NOT mean that there should be less' but it means' too many churches to keep an overview or remembering all'.
The city of Lodz is called Lodz, because the city in the city is the river Lodka. The city, of course, has a boat in its coat of arms.
Łódź is called that because of geografical placement in plain between two hills in shape of a boat, that in old polish where called "łodzia", and from that the village, and after that city took the name
Theoooooooo, wir fahr'n nach Lotz ...
Only Poles can talk badly about Poland :) otherwise will be problem :D
Copernicus was Polish!!! Winners often change history to their advantage. Of course, the Americans did it, the English did it, the Turks did it, and above all, the Russians did it and still do it. It was similar with the Germans, who took credit for the achievements of different nations. Poles also tried to do this, but they did not have many opportunities and most of the historical lies concerned Polish internal affairs. Copernicus actually had mixed blood, but he was more Polish than German. Just as we can say about Chopin that he was half French and half Polish (even though he felt Polish), we can say about Copernicus that he had most of Polish blood and felt like a subject of the Polish king.
nope, he was actually more German than Polish, not just because he lived in a German environment and like his father supported the Kingdom of Prussia (a split of the Teutonic Order State) - which 'sided' with the Kingdom of Poland against the Teutonic Order State. This does not mean that there was no Slavic influences, but saying he more Polish than German is just nonsense (almost the entire family, sisters and so on have German names, lived in the German speaking communities and so on). It was a typical constellation you often had in parts of Central Europe communities in mixed greater contexts (mainly Germanic/Slavic - mostly influenced by the Holy Roman Empire etc. - just like Russia btw... ).
@@publicminx I also received this information, but there is also a lot of other information about Copernicus' father and family. And the information that his father supported the Kingdom of Prussia actually contradicts your version. The Kingdom of Prussia, at that time, WAS NOT RELATED TO THE GERMANY IN ANY WAY (the Prussian population was more related to the Samogitians and Lithuanians and the Baltic peoples, and certainly not to the Germanic peoples). Moreover, the fact that they fought the Teutonic Knights, even more proves that they were not pro-German. And regarding the Polishness of this family, I read historical articles that Nicholas's father was a secret envoy of the Polish king, and supporting the Prussians was a political action against the Teutonic Order. The problem in understanding the issue of the Prussians is that German Prussia simply took over its name from the people living in Warmia and Masuria before they were displaced, exterminated or absorbed by the Polish and German population for centuries. Even in German and English dictionaries (in Google) there is no difference in the nomenclature between the Prussians (i.e. the inhabitants of these areas in the Middle Ages, Polish name PRUSOWIE) and the Prussians (i.e. the inhabitants of the German state of Prussia, Polish name PRUSACY)

@@publicminx I see that you mix and simplify historical facts. I mentioned the "Kingdom of Prussia" because you used that term in your first entry. Because it is known that the Kingdom of Prussia, created at the beginning of the 16th century, was definitely German and was ruled by the Henzolerns. But we are talking about events about 200 years earlier. It is true that the Teutonic Order was "invited" by the Prince of Masovia in 1226 and was supposed to "Christianize" the pagan Prussians. In fact, the Teutonic Knights were supposed to defend Masovia (which was not part of the Kingdom of Poland at that time) against the native Prussians, who were very aggressive. The very good organization and military nature of the Order meant that they dealt with the Prussians quite quickly. However, it did not end there - contrary to the agreements with Prince, they began to occupy larger and larger areas, also taking over Christian lands (Polish and Lithuanian), which caused wars with Poland. In 1308, they offered help in defending Gdańsk against the Brandenburgs, but in the end they murdered the "Polish" population and took over the city. Of course, you are right, that Copernicus spoke German at home, but his first language was Polish. The proof is the study of his Latin, which was the language of science and diplomacy at that time. He did not speak and write Latin like the Germans spoke and wrote, but like the Poles who used the language of science and the Church. It is also a fact that Copernicus's mother came from a German family. But it was a family that had already lived for many years, mayby for several generations in "Poland" and supported the incorporation of Toruń (Thorn) into the Kingdom of Poland. My great-grandfather also had a German surname, but he was persecuted by the Germans for being Polish. The fact that German was spoken in some Polish cities was only partially due to the fact that many migrants from German lands arrived there, who were then eagerly invited by Polish rulers and even founded cities "under German law". The Roman Empire (mainly German states) had a huge influence on its neighbors, not only militarily, but also culturally. Because many people of different origins came to the newly established cities (and a large part of trade and crafts were nationalities using Germanic languages, such as the Dutch, and of course German people from various parts of today's Germany), it was easier to manage the city using one official language. And this concerned not only cities in the territories of the Teutonic Order, where it was natural that German-speaking Teutonic Knights wanted them to use this language in towns. Another thing - I did not claim that Copernicus's family were Balts!!! I mentioned the Balts only to show that the native Prussians came from the Baltic peoples and have NOTHING in common with the German Prussians, except that the latter took over the former's lands and stole the name. And this name is now very common in Anglo-Saxon culture. Next thing, it is true that the "Preussische Bund" was an organization fighting for its own rights and economic situation and at first it was NOT directed against the Teutonic Order. It is also true that most of the townspeople in the Prussian Confederation were NOT of "Polish" origin, but came from west, but I do not agree that it was a "German" movement, because it was a union of rich townspeople and Prussian nobility, i.e., nobility from the areas earlier inhabited by Baltic Prussians. And this does not mean that it was nobility of German origin!!! In those times, the Western and German nobility who settled in the Teutonic Order became part of this Order and were not persecuted by taxes. Mainly the cities and the "non-German" nobility were rebelling. It cannot be said that it was only Polish nobility, because it was quite good a "national" mixture. There were Pomeranians, there were Masovians, there were also some remnants of native Prussians, there were nobility from Greater Poland, etc... there were, of course, also "German" and Western nobility, which for some reason did not become part of the Teutonic Order (but all of them used their "Polish" peasants to fight)! I definitely disagree with the opinion that the areas of Prussia were mostly Germanized before 1440!!! This would be completely technically unrealistic. The migration of people did not proceed as in the years after 1945, when millions of people were transported by train from place to place. Back then it happened very slowly. Germanization took place at the administrative level, which is why from the very beginning cities were given German names and the German language was used. There was a constant migration of townspeople from the areas of "Germany" and Western Europe and the creation of new cities, but it cannot be said that the majority of inhabitants were German-speaking migrants.
Perhaps it was easy to murder the crew and rebellious townspeople in Gdańsk and replace them with your own, but in the scale of the entire Teutonic State it was impossible! For the first 100 years, the Teutonic Knights fought for the existence of their new state and the expansion of its borders. Of course, it can be assumed that intensive migration was already underway, but it was not able to replace the entire population living in these areas, especially since waging war required money, and this money came from taxing people and no one in their right mind thought about quickly replacing them with people of German origin. Migrations also did not occur so quickly, because the war situation in the country was not conducive to mass migrations. People are simply afraid of migrating to places where there is war! I don't quite understand what you mean when you say "It is just twisted history to believe that they were Baltics who fought the Deutsche Orden due to being German."? (who says so?) The Balts, or rather Lithuanians, Samogitians and Prussians, did not fight against the Order because the Order was German. They simply fought for their lives because the Teutonic Knights tried to conquer and enslave them. However, I agree that the terror of the Livonian Knights actually forced the local population to obey and take over the German organization. And one more thing - the fact that I wrote about native Prussians of Baltic origin does not mean that I claim that German Prussians have anything in common with the Baltic peoples! The only reason I bring this up is because I often encounter confusion between English and German-speaking people. I often hear arguments that since the Kingdom of Prussia was German and the Prussians lived in these areas before the Teutonic Knights, it means that these areas are originally German. I think it is significant that in the Anglo-Saxon languages the same word is used to name these two, very different, state-ethnic entities. For example, in Polish, to describe the Baltic Prussians, we use the name PRUSOWIE, and for German Prussians, the name PRUSACY
And the entire misunderstanding between us came from mental shortcuts that we both used. When you wrote that Copernicus' family supported the Prussian Confederation, you wrote about the Kingdom of Prussia, while I thought that when writing about the Kingdom of Prussia you meant some plans to create a Balt kingdom in the territory of the Teutonic Order (following the example of the Prussian uprisings of 1242 and 1260),and the Copernicus' family supported the Prussians (the Baltic ones) and opposed the Teutonic Knights
GOOD STUFF. THANKS!
Pozdrowienia z Polski 🇵🇱😉
I actually live in Łódź. it's called 'boat' because we have lots of underwater rivers, so we're literally on the water + we also have a river here that's called "łódka" which means 'small boat' and is more likely to be the reason for the city's name.
There are some skeptics about those theories for the reason for the name tho.
Not true, these rivers are some streams that you couldn't go down by boat. Recently, the origin of the name was well explained on the "Historia bez cenzury" channel. The name comes from the form of the land on which Łódź is located.
word pole for field exists not only in Polish or Ukrainian but basically in every possible slavic language
Polanie - name of tribe. first royal family Piast they conquer neighboring settlement and started country Poland. Half world call as from Polanie half from Lechici - (group slavic tribe i.a. Polanie)
Wojtek - this bear is bought his in Syria and he become a first privete, next his promoted to corporal. He was smoke cigarets, carry ammo, help injured solrder take of from battle. His history is ery intresting :)

These videos are excellent. Some political details are now a bit different, like always good to watch with caution.
As a Pole we feel sorry for Ukraine; however, we remember WWII, and Nazis German and Ukrainian alike.
which means you are now like the Nazis (btw, many also had some Polish background)? Because you obviously forget that most relevant for every time is how ppl from NOW act, not how dead people from the past acted. YOU are responsible for what you are supporting NOW and you can NOT hide behind a collective past. And what you are doing is to judge a person who did nothing to you or Poland (on the contrary, she is interested in Poland) and this makes YOU the bad guy here. And keep in mind that also ppl from the past had some reasons, also why the Nazis came to power, also injustice from the first WW and who land was taken away, unfair punishments of Germany and so on. One reason why blood revenge became an outdated things was this reproducing effect of being hurt and hurt therefor others - obviously innocents (like YOU do! and you have no excuse for that. you are directly responsible for your own actions!) and so on ...
Normal, bear=solider he has a military papers and serwe on battle of monte casino in Italy helping to transport artillery shels.

Geography Now is an American production of dubious facts, need I say more?
yes. if u can.
Doesn’t realy changes much .
@2l84t: you sound like a conspiracy theorists ("The US-Government tries over 'American productions' to spread fake news about Poland - and only ppl like you are seeing trough. The reality is more trivial. Some ordinary people created a RUclips channel and after it got some success continued as a kind of typical startup, covering some basic background information about the different nations of the world (including jokes, sometimes outdated, sometimes bit too stereotypical, sometimes a bit bad researched information (which does not include information some ppl just dont like. The usual stuff from most okayish youtube channels - irrelevant from where the are from.

10:53 Google "Wojtek bear"
She already did. She even made her own reaction video to an Anglo-Saxon (don't recall whether it was British or American production anymore) mini-docu about our Wojtek, the bear soldier of the Polish army. :)
I really like your expression when you react😍😍😍👍👍👍, I hope you can react to the geography of my country, the flag is the opposite of the Polish flag, and my country's abbreviated name is similar to your name INA=INDONESIA, I hope you can react to the geography of my country INDONESIA, I hope this is useful for increasing your knowledge and hopefully success for you and your RUclips channel😉😉😉 I'm waiting your next video 😊

If you show the war, tell about! The Volhynia massacre- Ukrainians killed 200,000 Polish women, children and the elderly. They killed with axes, hammers, saws, pitchforks, burned alive. Read who the Ukrainians collaborated with and who Bandera was
Not 200,000, but about 100,000. During the Flood of Sweden, the Commonwealth lost 4 million people, which is then about 40% of the population. 6 million Polish citizens died during World War II. In the years 1936-1937 In Soviet Russia about 140,000 Jews were killed on Stalin's orders. Poles, plus about 22 thousand. in Katyn. This is history and it must be remembered, but it must not obscure the present and the future.
“Poles, who consider freedom and independence of the fatherland as their core values, fully understand the turning point in the history of Ukraine, a neighbor with whom they want to live as equal and close peoples, as well as develop close cooperation in everything.”
God, Honor, Fatherland. In spite of poverty, in spite of wounds.
@@d.d.3249 140,000 Jews were killed on Stalin's orders. ? Maybe. I heard about 100.000 + Poles killed in NKVD "Polish Action".
Yep pole is pole

Poland didn't get 17 Nobel Peace Prizes, only 2 (well 3 if we count John Paul II but he never accepted the award)
They counted people who were born and lived in Poland for some time. Count only people of Polish descent or also with citizenship? Currently, it will be 7-8 people, of which Maria Skłodowska received 2 Awards. And not just 2 Awards overall. I don't know how to count Mr. Rotblat as a Pole, a Jew or a Brit because he won the Nobel Prize in 1995. when he already had British citizenship.
@@0plp0 Einstein was also Jewish but Germany counts that Nobel prize of his as theirs, so it's no wonder that Poland does the same with its Jewish citizens, esp. when you think about it, a lot of highly educated Polish Jews were strongly assimilated into the larger Polish culture and they considered themselves to be Polish even though they naturally also acknowledged their Jewish descent (vide Stan Ulam or Stan Lem or Julian Tuwim and many many others).
Polanie czy polowanie
Jaka Ruś? To Małopolska.
Czerwona Ruś to kraina rozciągająca się na część Ukrainy, Polski i Białorusi. Spora część podkarpackiego i lubelskiego leży właśnie na Rusi Czerwonej. Małopolska to okolice Krakowa.
@@PiotrPilinko To akurat ruska narracja.A przez kogo ta rus byla zamieszkiwana?
Ukrainian and Polish have about 60% language inteligeblity
Chyba rosyjski !!bo ukraińskiego nie rozumiem
@@agaaga8762 Cóż trzeba znać różnice w wymowie i to jak niektóre zgłoski są zniekształcone, ogólnie stwierdzono, że Ukraińcom łatwiej zrozumieć Polski, niż na odwrót
That is the worst commentary I ever seen
Jesteś śliczna ,a Polak to Polak specyficzny naród

Ukraine people, this is not polish friends.
Ukrainian people are friendlier than Russians who are brainwashed with Soviet mentality and anti-Polish propaganda
Speak for yourself, the world has seen how many Polish families and humanitarian organizations rushed to help the Ukrainian refugees on the border last year.
@@NetEngs4UA mówimy za siebie !!Ukraińcy to roszczeniowy naród !i nie znosi Polaków
@pezet: I welcome every Ukraine to Germany and it is crystal clear that ppl like you also dont represent all people from Poland. And is also obvious that ppl like you are like the 'bad people of the past'. Keep in mind that at every time in history NOT people of the past but people of the presence are responsible or their actions and thoughts. And this means you are rather among the bad guys in history, if you are unnecessary hostile.
