Vigo's Dad did not mention 3 other, even more important events that influenced the world thanks to the Poles. 1) On July 15, 1410, in the Battle of Grundwald, about 40,000 Polish and Lithuanian troops met 20,000 Teutonic Order troops and mercenaries. This was the largest battle of the Middle Ages. This battle also halted the expansion plans of the Teutonic Order in the eastern territories of Europe 2)September 12, 1683 near Vienna between the Polish-Imperial forces under the command of King John III Sobieski and the army of the Ottoman Empire under the command of Vizier Kara Mustafa. The battle was a turning point in the war - it ended in the defeat of the Ottomans, who from then on went on the defensive and ceased to pose a threat to the Christian part of Europe. 3)The Battle of Warsaw, commonly known as the Miracle on the Vistula, was a military operation fought on 13-25 August 1920 between the Red Army attacking Warsaw and its northwest, and the Polish Army, grouped on the Vistula and Wieprz rivers, the decisive battle of the Polish-Bolshevik War. The Polish victory in the battle radically changed the course of the war, allowed the reborn Polish Republic to maintain its independence, and also thwarted Soviet plans to establish a Soviet republic in Poland, launch an offensive against Western Europe, and to provoke an international revolution.
Another interesting fact. Polish mathematicians and cryptologists: Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski were the first to break the german Enigma code. The Poles obtained a copy of the Enigma machine and delivered it to the Allies. The British Alan Turing constructed the first computer and sped up decryption.
Ignacy Łukasiewicz - invented the kerosene lamp (an important discovery before the era of electrification ) and developed a method of extracting crude oil - he created the the first oil wells in the world, even today, would look different
Vigo's Dad. He lives in Poland, he has a polish wife so he is a part of our society everyday and he can told about us as his foreigner point of view not only the best things, about the bad things too.
Another big moment in history that is particularly important for you as an American is the appearance of two Polish freedom warriors during the American Revolutionary War (officers that had to flee Poland after the partitions and failed uprisings). Two officers that sadly don't get enough recognition in the US for how much they impacted the revolution. Kazimierz Pułaski (Casimir Pulaski) - the father of the US cavalry Tadeusz Kościuszko (Thaddeus Kosciuszko) - the engineer of the revolution (close friend to Thomas Jefferson - I bet that Kościuszko had a big impact on the form and content of the US constitution)
So if you look around about more infos about 5th fact should check video: 'Bloody Foreigners: Untold Battle of Britain.' And there will be an info why Poland was a soviet satelite after WWII. ruclips.net/video/ptijNcDanVw/видео.html
I don't think Americans learn this in school. You probably teach about Thaddeus (Tadeusz) Kościuszko and Casimir (Kazimierz) Pułaski. Both Poles had a huge impact on America's independence.
Poles are very, very underestimated, but Poles are used to it. After World War II, the 4th power in this war - Poles - was not invited to the victory parade, so as not to offend the Russians. For their help and altruism, they only get kicks, but in Poland there is a saying "if you don't know how to behave, behave with dignity" and that is what Poles do and did. When they saved Europe from Islam in the Battle of Vienna, saving Austria and Europe, Austria enslaved Poland 100 years later, when Poland was the first in Europe to introduce a constitution. Poles helped Ukrainians, although they did not like Ukrainians at all, remembering to this day the murder of 120,000 Poles by Ukrainians in World War II, but Poles have empathy and helped those mothers with children in their arms, hungry, dirty and terribly tortured - simply humanity. During World War II, only in Poland was the death penalty imposed for helping Jews, and not only for those who hid Jews, but for the entire tenement house, because the Germans assumed that the neighbors must have known. No Jew in Poland would have survived 5 years, because that was how long the war lasted in Poland, without the help of Poles, and in gratitude from the Jews we have only hatred and slander. Vigo did not say that.
About Battle of Britain... British officers had opinion about polish pilots, that they ware ruthless and undisciplined. When the battle took toll in british civilian casualities, because the german bombings, they realised what Poles felt. And that the Poles ware not about shooting down an enemy airplane accordingly to the Royal Air Force regulations, they ware out for german blood since the day 1 on british soil.
This movement of help for Ukrainian refugees in early 2022 was really huge and spectacular. Everyone knows someone who accepted them in their home, at least for some time. It was a community effort, to get or buy clothes for them, help with health, school, handling documents. After some time many of them went back home or became independent by finding a job. Our former government had known this was about to happen, but had made no preparations. Or maybe they had assumed that Ukraine would fall in three days. This is why Poland was called 'the biggest non-governmental organization' at that time.
A Anglia jak sie odpłaciła? - kazała Polsce płacić za wszystko, oficerowie nie mogli uczestniczyć w defiladzie zwycięstwa po II wojnie światowej, oddano nas pod protektorat Rosji, oficerowie walczący o Anglię mogli jedynie pracować na zmywaku - taka wdzięczność !
Odnosząc się tylko do USA,to pod Saratogą wały obronne zbudował Wam Kościuszko/zwycięska bitwa/,West Point,kto wybudował oczywiście Polak Kościuszko,a prawdziwą kawalerię kto Polak Pułaski.To tylko najważniejsi z Polaków,którzy walczyli o wolność USA,a było ich dużo więcej.Pozdrawiam
and here it should be added that after World War II Great Britain charged Poland for this help, for ammunition and provided airports and planes and service, 109 million pounds nice thanks
In 1939, Poland was attacked by Germany, Russia, Slovakia and the Ukrainian Banderites. in the Warsaw Uprising, on a very large front line, the fighting between the German and Russian fronts was suspended in order to fight the uprising, a Soviet soldier rode into the Germans, but on an American truck, eating American canned goods, wearing a uniform made of American cloth and shooting bullets filled with American dust. the Allies betrayed us. in Poland they were called the Cursed, they were the ones who faced death and they were the ones who beat the Russians
There is much bad blood between Poland and Ukraine because of very difficult history. I am proud of my countryman to help Ukrainians despite that and despite lack of gratitude from those people. It is what Christian attitude is and is what I support.
About love for ukrainians...men don't want to fight for their country,get social benefits from my taxes,in biger cities police noticed more crimes. Russia got something right...ukraine is not a country.
