As a student of history from Poland, I applaud the high efforts put into the topic with all the details on the topic usually unknown outside of Poland, even in Germany its a topic never discussed outside the fact that "Poland did not exist as free state". Also correct pronunciation of all names is really impressive! Amazing channel that I am glad I found, after looking for videos about Kotze Affair.
We have a popular rhyme summarizing the leadership situation of the uprising: “Chłop nas zdradził, Skrzynka przyskrzyniła, Kruk oko wydziobał, Ryba zatopiła.” It's based on the names of the leaders of the uprising (chłop, peasant, from Chłopicki, Skrzynka, chest, from Skrzynecki, Kruk, crow, from Krukowiecki, and Ryba, fish, from Rybicki), and can be loosely translated as "The Peasant betrayed us, the Chest locked us up, the Crow plucked out our eye, the Fish drowned us." As always, great work covering topics essentially unknown outside the country!
I especially appreciate the parts about Stanisław Kostka Potocki and the "Polenschwärmerei", because these topics aren't sufficiently known even here in Poland, in my opinion. Also, the part about Łódź, because that's my city. 😅
@@SirManateee While rewatching the video I've noticed a small detail about Łódź. Technically it wasn't a small village but a very small rural town. As you surely know, there was an important legal distinction between a village and a town (Magdeburg Law and all that). In fact this year Łódź celebrates the 600th anniversary of receiving town rights. Although, after the Third Partition, the Prussian authorities were considering legally demoting Łódź to a village (because that's what it arguably was in practice).
@@SirManateee I remember when I visited Poland several people recommended the film Ziemia obiecana (The Promised Land in English) as a classic of Polish film, precisely about this topic.
Thanks for this video regarding the context of the uprising. This uprising is really important to Lithuanians as well since we also participated in it and suffered the same consequences like the increased russification, closing of Vilnius university, persecution of the catholic church and applying divide and rule tactics against Poles and Lithuanians.
Great explanation of this topic! It's probably the best one available in English on this platform. Of course, as you hinted at, a whole other video could be made just about the military aspect of the Uprising itself. Perhaps one of many channels specializing in this kind of stuff will make such a video one day? One thing I would add is that the Congress Kingdom lost the last remains of its autonomy after yet another Uprising in 1863-1864. But the January Uprising (as it's called) is a whole other topic. Unlike the November one, it wasn't a regular war but had a character of guerrilla fighting.
You could talk about the Russo-Polish war for an hour at least but military and war history are really not my thing :p But thank you very much, mate :)
Sir Mantee excellent video. A video on the Krakow uprising of 1846 and the Galician Slaughter that happened as a result of it would be another interesting topic for a video. It will also address that “conservative rebellion” point you made as it very much deals about how not many Polish peasants were initially sympathetic to the idea of a revived Poland, and actively and violently tried to put one down.
A absolutely wonderful video. I have always found the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth a fascinating part of history but I didn't know anything about Congress Poland. As usual your video was a treat.
Another great video on the history of our nation! thank you for bringing these topics to light on your channel. I'd also like to applaud you on your well pronunciation of Polish
You seriously need some shoutout, your content is high quality, well researched and you even nail foreign pronounciations, either Polish, Ukrainian or other. Big shoutout to you. P.S. I hope there will be some more videos on the Uprisings, especially the succesful ones
Fun fact, Frederic Chopin fled to Vienna (then Paris) when the rebellion broke out. He originally travelled with a friend, but when they reached Vienna, his friend returned to Poland to fight and I believe died in the war. Even after the rebellion ended, Chopin just stayed in France and never went home.
Alexander I was such a weird dude. He was in truth a firm believer in the divine right to rule and in absolute monarchy. But he also was a childish brat who seemed to change personalities depending on who he talked to. He liked to appear as an enlightenment monarch, which is probably the reason he gave Finland and Poland such freedoms. Alexander didn't actually think these promises meant anything, which certainly made things interesting. For example the Finns tought their relationship with Russia was a personal union with complete autonomy, whereas Alexander I tought he had just said some nice words to shut up the Finns.
He gave Poland such freedoms? The fact alone that he was in position to offer anything to Poland was an evidence that Poland wasn't free at all. Free countries have freedom without anyone else's opinion, agreement or offer to make.
@@adamkwiecien5489thats at best a modern interpretation of the state and at worst a liberal view of history. By your logic not a single state nation or country was free before the 18th century as kings dictators and oligarchs ruled instead of the people.
@@luksina138 Incorrect. I'm talking about political states, not about the people living in those states. It's been the thousands of years of practice that the power was held by kings & monarchs - not by the ordinary people. Simply because most people are too stupid to run a country. They can't even read the books properly, let alone run a country. Monarchy is a natural method of governance, observed even in the kingdom of animals, like bees or ants. Democracy is an artificial whim of criminals, who normally were locked up in the dungeons and cellars, or exiled in Siberia or islands like Jersey, or hanged from a tree in XIXth century, because they caused most of the turbulences then, rebellions, revolutions, assassinations, social unrest and other acts of crime. 🤮🤢
Very decent video, many facts little known outside of Poland and many facts from Germany little known in Poland. It makes you wonder how different united Germany and history of Europe could be if it wasn't auticratic Prussia which united GER. One, major, very important flaw is that should also extend its description to Lithuania and Belarus - it was certainly an uprising of several nations - mostly Poles but also of the historical Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Lithuanians suffered a lot - their territory didn't enjoy autonomy the tiny, congress Poland did and war there was mostly guerilla style combat with heavy reprisals from Russian army.
@@jak00bspyr72 It's a black legend intended to ridicule Konstantin, but in fact he hid in the attic of the palace and then left it when insurgents had already been gone. He stayed in Warsaw for 3 more days and left it (or rather was allowed to leave it) officially with the russian soldiers. No running away involved.
Can you make a video about King Otto of Greece? He was a Bavarian prince who became the first King of Greece. He ruled for 30 years, and Bavarian culture influenced the young Greek state. Bavaria was greatly influenced by Greek culture as well during this time and even changed its name from Baiern to Bayern in 1825 as the king was a great admirer of Greece. There are so many interesting trivia about the Greece-Bavaria connection, and King Otto would make an interesting video.
Sir Manatee - I would be interested in your story about the German reclaiming of Memel in 1939. The History of Heligoland. And the land of the Teutonic Knights in what is today Kaliningrad. I love this channel and the presentation of it.
Please make a Video about the Russification in Poland. You have already made a Video about ,,Germanisierung‘‘ and the prussian settlement commission. But in Russia there were also a strong Russification that affected almost all national Minorities. Espacially Poles….
I would add that London also became quite an important centre of Polish (and Russian) exiles in this period too. The disatisfied Polish exile was almost something of a stock character in Victorian literature and they had quite a strong lobby group in the British Parliament - albeit not with much success beyond eliciting vague expressions of sympathy for the plight of the Polish nation. And naturally Britain obviously had some ulterior moves in hosting political dissidents from their main imperial rival of the time. About the statement that another state with a similar degree of autonomy didn't emerge until 1918... I would disagree there. I would say the puppet Kingdom of Poland in 1917 carved out by from Congress Poland had probably about a similar level of autonomy as Congress Poland de facto, although in terms of economic policy far, far less given Germany's Mittleuropa plans. Had Austro-Hungary been in a stronger position it seems at least possible they would have attempted a trialist Austro-Polish solution with Poland - I think it would have been unstable for a territory as large and with such a national sentiment as Poland to remain subdivision of the Austrian empire, even if Hungary would have created a fuss - meaning it would have enjoyed a status similar to Hungary. That would have been similar to Congress Poland but likely much more autonomous in reality.
In my opinion it is very worth mentionning the epidemics of cholera that was brought with the Russian troops. Around 50% of Russian army perished of cholera (including Grand Duke Konstantin and field marshal Hans Karl von Diebitsch) giving quite a good possibility of victory to the Poles. After the war cholera was brought to Western Europe together with the refugees.
@@SirManateee I don't mind at all: - 6:05 - the map is obviously irrelevant to the years 1814-1831, as it shows the modern-day Poland.

Drucki-Lubecki's governance. - 7:35 - the trial was held in the Krasiński Palace, not in the Senate Chamber of Royal Castle in Warsaw (wrong image used). - 9:03 - European revolutions in 1830 didn't inspire Polish conspirators, because they set up the conspiracy movement already in December 1828. They tried to ingnite the revolution few times in 1829-1830, but for various reasons they always postponed it. The uprising finally broke out in November 1830, after the conspirators learnt that they'd been in the danger of arrest. - 11:49 - Warsaw never capitulated officially. The government, army and the members of parliament simply fled the city (and continued to officially hold the government/parliament sessions elsewhere!), but never signed any capitulation paper. Also, Russians never crushed the Polish army, although they won the battle of Warsaw in September 1831. I intentionally skipped phrases like "The situation was not too terrible" (1:42), because it's the matter of personal judgement rather than historical fact. There were those (conspirators) to whom the situation was a lot terrible, but this is disputable depending on political views. I hope it helps :)
@@adamkwiecien5489 I'm sadly not immune to error, so Thanks a lot for pointing these things out :) The only thing I'll contest is the map thingy because I couldn't find any usable map of early 19th century Polish natural reccources, so I just took one of modern day-Poland with the hopes that people will know that Silesia was then still Prussian.
