Hello to my Polish brothers and sisters. I’m from Russia, and I don’t want any more wars with you. Let’s go and drink vodka (yes, even here we’re complaining about who created it first and which one is the best, but anyways...) together instead and make a toast for peace!🇵🇱🇷🇺
It was the biggest Polish chance of luck. If the Polish king had become Orthodox, he would have been chosen to reign in Moscow. Then there would be a Polish-Russian state from the Baltic to the Pacific ocean. but the king refused, the chance was lost.
@@kotemura9090 Did you say about Ivan the Terrible? But it was because of Ivan the Terrible that this confusion began. Ivan the Terrible died in 1584. He left no heirs (the first son he himself killed with a blow to the head with a staff, the second-died in an accident). In Russia, there was no dynasty left, so the idea came to call the Polish king. But as you know, the Polish king refused to become Orthodox, as a result, the boyar Romanov became the king, which marked the beginning of the Romanov dynasty
@SursumCordaVivatRzplita Tak czy owak miał to być rodzaj federacji. Gdyby wtedy się udało, to mielibyśmy pewnie do dziś federację polsko-rosyjską i niepodległe kraje azjatyckiej części Rosji. Prawdopodobnie Rosjanie w naturalny sposób by się częściowo polonizowali, podobnie jak działo się to ze sporą częścią Litwinów. No i byłby spokój, bo nie byłoby światowego gangstera.
@@arty5876 dude, don't fight the entire troll army of the Internet :) Btw Poland in 1795 fell for the same reason. The difference was Poland in 1612 acted alone.
@Flatearth XXI in russian territory lives 210 + nations. Nents, Chucks, Buryats, Don cassacks , Yaits cassacks, tatars( european mongols), ingushes, ugrs, and 200 more. This is not mongols, they were occupied by Mongolia, and as a result of russo-mongolian wars became part of Russia. Only 15% of russian territories is territories of Golden Horde, this is all South Russia from Baikal to Caspia (Siberian khanate, Kazan' Khanate) .
@Hubert Turski after the Mongol invasion, Rus was split into 2 parts, one of them was under a Golden horde, and the other fell under the influence of Lithuania. All wars in the territory of the Commonwealth or Lithuania were part of the unification of Ancient Rus lands. Only under Ivan Grozny did the expansion of the state begin. These processes are normal for any state at that time. There is no one to apologize to. And there is no one to excuses. In addition, Poland showed aggression against Russia.
@Hubert Turski The desire of Ivan the third to conquer the Principality was dictated not only by his personality, but also by the desire of the Moscow principality to unite those lands that were part of Rus, but were subjugated either by Lithuania or the Horde.The population of these Principalities and their language were almost the same. There was no Russia under Ivan the Third. There was only a Moscow principality, which annexed the territory through military capture or diplomacy. In addition, Lithuania did not conquer the Russian principalities by any means in a peaceful way. For this reason, this side cannot be called any good or bad. Imperialism is inherent in many European states - Russia, Poland, England, Kaiser Germany, France and many others. T urkey too.Or do you think that in these countries imperialism arose also because of the Mongols?
@Hubert Turski I think that when you take into account the “important” facts, you miss the real reasons for the conflicts between Moscow (later Russia) and Lithuania. Lithuania fought with the Old Russian state until the collapse of the latter. And just after the defeat of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality from the Mongols, Lithuania was successful and was able to capture a number of Old Russian lands in the 13-14 centuries. This fact is also important. Russian principalities were torn apart by the war with the Horde and could not resist Lithuania. Therefore, it is wrong to consider the Moscow principality the instigator of the war with Lithuania, and then with Poland. The fact that Russia had imperialism in more or less than that of other countries is just sophistry and subjective perception. Mongolian influence takes place in the philosophy of Russian tsars, but this influence is not the prevalent. Any state can develop and conquer land, as long as it has the resources and centralizations for expansion and holding positions. The state of Poland and Lithuania, which had 2 different armies, two financial flows, and 2 cultural centers, could not be effective. In addition, he had too many strong neighbors and no allies. Sad but true. Interesting fact: if you read the slogans of the Bolsheviks, you will see that they were directed against imperialism in Russia and around the world. Therefore, the crimes of Soviet goverment are not connected with imperialism. To say that the Moscow Principality and the Russian Empire committed crimes more than other states is strange. This position applies only to the USSR. German Reich and Turkey are on the same line thanks to the genocide of Armenians and Jews

@@MaycroftCholmsky You're forgetting that before those sanctions, under Putin Russia's economy was booming. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_history_of_the_Russian_Federation#2000%E2%80%932007 "Under the presidency of Vladimir Putin Russia's economy saw the nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) double, climbing from 22nd to 11th largest in the world.

Love and respect to Poland from Turkey. Despite the fact that we had fought for some time, we had and have a good relationship between us. We never recognized the partition of Poland, always had a place for your deputy. +Where is the deputy from Lehistan? -Your Excellency, the deputy of Lehistan could not make it because of vital impediments.
tbh I guess only the fact that Ottoman empire was declining itself led them not to recognize the partition. A hundred or so years before that would not be the case.
You are 100% correct. That is why we will always respect Turkey. You were a formidable oponent and now a great friend. Respect to Turkey from Poland!!!
And a like from Germany... Poland really DESERVES to be a country like now. And come on.. East Germans are partly Slavic too (remember the assimilated tribes of Heveller, Spreewanen, Obodriten, Redarier, we still have the Sorben tribe). The border between us ist just fortuitously drawn by useless wars, it's not genetically.
Stephen Báthory (or Báthory István) is one of my favourite rulers. Too bad that because of his wars with Russia as a Polish-Lithuanian king he didn't have the opportunity to accomplish his dream: to liberate Hungary from the Turkish occupation with the strenght of the united army of his Polish-Lithuanian-Transylvanian dominions. Nice video.
I was just wondering myself if "Batory" (spelling in this video) was "Bathory" .. and if there was a relation to Elizabeth Bathory, AKA "the Blood Countess".
@@drcasualties I don't know if your realize, but "Stefan Batory" is a polonized name of the Hungarian "Báthory István" (English: Stephen Báthory), and since Batory wasn't Polish it's not right for you to correct him in that matter. I'm Polish too by the way.
@@filipkogut8533 jesli jestes Polakiem to pisz do mnie po polsku. Batory był był królem Polski i książęciem siedmiogrodu, nie brytyjskim monarchą, wiec proszę nie pisać, ze nazywał się „Stephen”. Tyle w temacie.
I think it is necessary to mention the Duchy of Warsaw, which existed in 1807-1813. His troops participated in the campaign of Napoleon in Russia in 1812, therefore this war is also partly Polish-Russian. If this is not done, it will be unclear, what a way the part of Poland, which was conquered in 1794 by Prussia, in 1830 became part of the Russian Empire.
Actually a good video but there are some mistakes. When Poland conquered Moscow in the war of 1609-1618, the son of the Polish king became Tsar of Russia. Therefore, on the map at that time, the territory of Russia should have been marked as the territory ruled by Poland. A large part of the Russian nobility wanted to submit to the new tsar from Poland. Unfortunately, because of the king's incompetence mainly religious intolerance , Poland lost control of Russia. Despite losing control of Russia, the Polish Empire was able to conquer important areas such as the city of Smolensk. Which is also a mistake to mention the Polish Bolshevik War in the list of Polish-Russian wars. Because the Polish-Bolshevik War was not a Polish-Russian war, since the enemy were international communists and not just Russian communists. Many important Bolshevik officials were not Russian. Lazar Kaganovich was a Jew! He was the head of the bolshevik government of Tashkent! Solomon Lozovsky was Jewish! He was the executive of Communist International. Semyon Dimanstein was Jewish! He played a central role in the work of the People's Commissariat of Nationalities. Adolph Joffe was a Crimean Tatar! He was People's Commissar (minister) of State Control of the Ukrainian. Lazar Kaganowitsch was Jewish! He was the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Grigory Sokolnikov was Jewish! He was posted to Central Asia as chairman of the government of Turkestan and commander of the Turkestan army! Yakov Sverdlov was Jewish! He worked to consolidate Bolshevik control of newly conquered territories and coordinated there the Red Terror campaigns. He also played a major role in authorising the execution of the Romanov royal family in July 1918. Lev Kamenev was Jewish! He was President of the Council of People's Commissars and Politburo chairman. Yakov Yurovsky was Jewish! He was Chief of the Gold Department of the State Treasury. The commanders of the Red Army were also international! Leon Trotsky was Jewish. He headed the Red Army as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs. Sergey Kamenev was Ukrainian! He was commander in chief of the red army and the most important man in the red army after Trotsky. Joseph Stalin was Georgian! Commander of the Southwest Front! Mikhail Alafuso was Ukrainian! He was Chief of Staff of the 3 Army. August Kork was an Estonian! He was the commander of the 6th Army. Hayk Bzhishkyan was Armenian! He was commander of the III Cavalry Corps. Nikolai Sollogub was Belarusian! Commander of the 16th Army! Ivar Smilga was a Latvian! He headed the Revolutionary Military Council of the Western Front. By the way, apart from the fact that they were all international Bolsheviks, they had something else in common! They were all defeated by the Poles in the 1919-21 war. In any case, I could go on and on with the list of international Bolshevik officials and officers showing that this was not a fight against Russia, but against international Communism. Which is why this war of 1919-21 should properly be called the Polish Bolshevik War and not the Polish Russian War. I continue the comment below!
Another mistake in the video is that the wrong term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was used. Which unfortunately is a standard error. The use of this term is incorrect for two reasons! The first reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is incorrect is the fact that the incorrect use of the term Commonwealth gives the impression that the Polish state has some kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the incorrect term Commonwealth would suggest. But this state was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the wrong term Commonwealth suggests. So the Rzeczpospolita was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Poles dominated all peoples of the empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were imperial ruling ethnic group. The Poles dominated the entire state! So also Lithuania. There was no equality whatsoever as the wrong term "common wealth" suggests. Polish wealth was always crucial. So if anything then Polishwealth and not Commonwealth. The state took over the Polish constitution Nihil Novi in1505 and not a Lithuanian constitution. Thi imperial constitution of 1505 was the actual founding of the Rzeczpospolita. Determined by the Polish Parliament Sejm! That the Poles dominated the state is also clearly shown by the name of the state. The ruling Poles have also determined what the state should be called Polisch Rzeczpospolita! But even before the establishment of the Rzeczpospolita Poland was an empire and then during the time of the Rzeczpospolita, Poland continued to be an empire! That was actually just the founding of the Polish noble Republic democracy by the Polish nobility. Which, amazingly, was nevertheless a monarchy with a king elected by the nobility!So the founding of the Polish monarchical noble republic as an elective monarchy. It was revolutionary at that time, because 10%-15% of the population, which was the Polish nobility at that time, had the power for the internal affairs of the state. In the rest of Europe, the proportion of the population of the nobility was 1% of the population and not 10-15% as in Poland. In the rest of Europe, with the exception of England and some Italian republics, monarchs ruled despotically. So otherwise despots rule everywhere! The revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505 passed by the Polish parliament applied to the entire Polish Empire as well as to Lithuania. Through this revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505, Poland became the Rzeczpospolita Nobles' Democracy! The state was no longer called the Kingdom of Poland, but the most serene (most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. The constitution was the primary element of the democratic governance in the Polish kingdom which granted Parliament extensive powers. The Parliament (Sejm) was a powerful political institution and the king could not pass most of laws without the approval of that body. The second reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong is the fact that it is a mistranslation of the Polish term Rzeczpospolita as I mentioned. So this term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong! This term is wrong because the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is a modern, nonsensical invention by 20th century historians that does not correspond to reality. This state was never called Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. NEVER! Used in international treaties and diplomacy, the state has been called the most serene ( most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. Its residents simply referred it in the everyday language as Rzeczpospolita or Poland occasionally also the crown. The correct translation for Rzeczpospolita is Republic and certainly not Commonwealth. In other languages it is also correctly translated as a republic, but in English it is always translated incorrectly as Commonwealth. The wrong translation is used again and again. But even today, Poland calls itself Rzeczpospolita Polska, which is actually the official Polish name of the state! Lithuania doesn't call itself that way. Because in reality, Poland was the Rzeczpospolita in earlier times and is that still today! Not Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but the Polska Rzeczpospolita! Would anyone call Poland today Commonwealth because Poland today is Rzeczpospolita? Of course not, because it is wrong today as it was wrong in the past to call this Polish state Commonwealth! Today Rzeczpospolita Polska is also correctly translated in English as the Republic of Poland and not wrong Commonwealth Poland! Why is that then wrongly translated with Commonwealth for the earlier times. Actually absurd! Incidentally, the first documented with the use of the term Rzeczpospolit as a designation of the Polish state can be found in Maćka Borkowica's act of allegiance, for the Polish king Kazimierz the Great on 16. February 1358 in the town of Sieradz. At that time Lithuania was not yet united with Poland at all! So the Polisch term Rzeczpospolit was the name for Poland even then. Because even then the Polish nobility took the first steps towards becoming a noble republic! By the way, the state from back then is generally referred to in Poland as the 1st Polish Republic so the 1st Polish Rzeczpospolita in Polish I Polska Rzeczpospolita. Then in Polish, II Polska Rzeczpospolita is called the Polish Republic between the wars. The III Polska Rzeczpospolita is then the republic for the Poles from 1989 after the liberation from the soviet occupation. The by the communist henchmen so-called Polish People's Republic (in Polish Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa) to which Poland was forced by the Soviets, is not recognized by the Poles as a Polish Rzeczpospolita and therefore there are 3 Rzeczpospolitas and not 4. However generally in Poland the first Polish republic is recognized as the I Polska Rzeczpospolita from the 16th century. This republic is not called in Poland Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but only Polish Rzeczpospolita (republic). Because that was above all a Polish state and a Polish empire! Before that it was also a Polish Kingdom and Empire! The term Rzeczpospolita seems difficult to pronounce for non-Poles. But that is not the case at all. With a little practice, anyone can pronounce the term correctly, even you. A little help: Rz is pronounced like the "isi" in vision. So virzon sounds like vision. Cz sounds like the "ch" in church. So Czurcz sounds like church. But if one just use "sh" instead of "rz", that sounds close to Polish. "Ch" can be used instead of "cz". With these clues, everyone can probably read the term Rzeczpospolita. The Anglicized term Shechpospolita could also be used as an alternative. So Shechpospolita would be written in English, which could be pronounced without problems. So there is no reason not to use this correct term Rzeczpospolita or Shechpospolita. By the way, the Polish Empire could also be used as an alternative to Rzeczpospolita for this state if one wants to use a modern term. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were the rulers. So just a wrong translation and the false claim about equality and equal status of Poland and Lithuania that didn't exist! Because that was a Polish empire controlled by Poles.
The map of 1919 is total fantasy. Most of 1919 (between spring and late autumn) Ukraine was under control of general Denikin forces, not under Soviets. Moreover, in October 1919 his troops were between Orel and Tula and threatened Moscow.
it's considered Poland vs Russia in the video, Poland wasn't real ally with Denikin because of his Imperialism and disability to talk with " just a part of Russian empire" so they merged it

Was the movement of the front line of the Kiev campaign in 1920 really not shown? In any case, the Polish Ukranian War was not shown from November 1918 to July 1919!

Well done! Good to remember these Polish heroes! By the way, that is actually a good video but there are some mistakes. When Poland conquered Moscow in the war of 1609-1618, the son of the Polish king became Tsar of Russia. Therefore, on the map at that time, the territory of Russia should have been marked as the territory ruled by Poland. A large part of the Russian nobility wanted to submit to the new tsar from Poland. Unfortunately, because of the king's incompetence mainly religious intolerance , Poland lost control of Russia. Despite losing control of Russia, the Polish Empire was able to conquer important areas such as the city of Smolensk. Which is also a mistake to mention the Polish Bolshevik War in the list of Polish-Russian wars. Because the Polish-Bolshevik War was not a Polish-Russian war, since the enemy were international communists and not just Russian communists. Many important Bolshevik officials were not Russian. Lazar Kaganovich was a Jew! He was the head of the bolshevik government of Tashkent! Solomon Lozovsky was Jewish! He was the executive of Communist International. Semyon Dimanstein was Jewish! He played a central role in the work of the People's Commissariat of Nationalities. Adolph Joffe was a Crimean Tatar! He was People's Commissar (minister) of State Control of the Ukrainian. Lazar Kaganowitsch was Jewish! He was the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Grigory Sokolnikov was Jewish! He was posted to Central Asia as chairman of the government of Turkestan and commander of the Turkestan army! Yakov Sverdlov was Jewish! He worked to consolidate Bolshevik control of newly conquered territories and coordinated there the Red Terror campaigns. He also played a major role in authorising the execution of the Romanov royal family in July 1918. Lev Kamenev was Jewish! He was President of the Council of People's Commissars and Politburo chairman. Yakov Yurovsky was Jewish! He was Chief of the Gold Department of the State Treasury. The commanders of the Red Army were also international! Leon Trotsky was Jewish. He headed the Red Army as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs. Sergey Kamenev was Ukrainian! He was commander in chief of the red army and the most important man in the red army after Trotsky. Joseph Stalin was Georgian! Commander of the Southwest Front! Mikhail Alafuso was Ukrainian! He was Chief of Staff of the 3 Army. August Kork was an Estonian! He was the commander of the 6th Army. Hayk Bzhishkyan was Armenian! He was commander of the III Cavalry Corps. Nikolai Sollogub was Belarusian! Commander of the 16th Army! Ivar Smilga was a Latvian! He headed the Revolutionary Military Council of the Western Front. By the way, apart from the fact that they were all international Bolsheviks, they had something else in common! They were all defeated by the Poles in the 1919-21 war. In any case, I could go on and on with the list of international Bolshevik officials and officers showing that this was not a fight against Russia, but against international Communism. Which is why this war of 1919-21 should properly be called the Polish Bolshevik War and not the Polish Russian War. I continue the comment below!
Another mistake in the video is that the wrong term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was used. Which unfortunately is a standard error. The use of this term is incorrect for two reasons! The first reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is incorrect is the fact that the incorrect use of the term Commonwealth gives the impression that the Polish state has some kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the incorrect term Commonwealth would suggest. But this state was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the wrong term Commonwealth suggests. So the Rzeczpospolita was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Poles dominated all peoples of the empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were imperial ruling ethnic group. The Poles dominated the entire state! So also Lithuania. There was no equality whatsoever as the wrong term "common wealth" suggests. Polish wealth was always crucial. So if anything then Polishwealth and not Commonwealth. The state took over the Polish constitution Nihil Novi in1505 and not a Lithuanian constitution. Thi imperial constitution of 1505 was the actual founding of the Rzeczpospolita. Determined by the Polish Parliament Sejm! That the Poles dominated the state is also clearly shown by the name of the state. The ruling Poles have also determined what the state should be called Polisch Rzeczpospolita! But even before the establishment of the Rzeczpospolita Poland was an empire and then during the time of the Rzeczpospolita, Poland continued to be an empire! That was actually just the founding of the Polish noble Republic democracy by the Polish nobility. Which, amazingly, was nevertheless a monarchy with a king elected by the nobility!So the founding of the Polish monarchical noble republic as an elective monarchy. It was revolutionary at that time, because 10%-15% of the population, which was the Polish nobility at that time, had the power for the internal affairs of the state. In the rest of Europe, the proportion of the population of the nobility was 1% of the population and not 10-15% as in Poland. In the rest of Europe, with the exception of England and some Italian republics, monarchs ruled despotically. So otherwise despots rule everywhere! The revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505 passed by the Polish parliament applied to the entire Polish Empire as well as to Lithuania. Through this revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505, Poland became the Rzeczpospolita Nobles' Democracy! The state was no longer called the Kingdom of Poland, but the most serene (most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. The constitution was the primary element of the democratic governance in the Polish kingdom which granted Parliament extensive powers. The Parliament (Sejm) was a powerful political institution and the king could not pass most of laws without the approval of that body. The second reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong is the fact that it is a mistranslation of the Polish term Rzeczpospolita as I mentioned. So this term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong! This term is wrong because the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is a modern, nonsensical invention by 20th century historians that does not correspond to reality. This state was never called Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. NEVER! Used in international treaties and diplomacy, the state has been called the most serene ( most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. Its residents simply referred it in the everyday language as Rzeczpospolita or Poland occasionally also the crown. The correct translation for Rzeczpospolita is Republic and certainly not Commonwealth. In other languages it is also correctly translated as a republic, but in English it is always translated incorrectly as Commonwealth. The wrong translation is used again and again. But even today, Poland calls itself Rzeczpospolita Polska, which is actually the official Polish name of the state! Lithuania doesn't call itself that way. Because in reality, Poland was the Rzeczpospolita in earlier times and is that still today! Not Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but the Polska Rzeczpospolita! Would anyone call Poland today Commonwealth because Poland today is Rzeczpospolita? Of course not, because it is wrong today as it was wrong in the past to call this Polish state Commonwealth! Today Rzeczpospolita Polska is also correctly translated in English as the Republic of Poland and not wrong Commonwealth Poland! Why is that then wrongly translated with Commonwealth for the earlier times. Actually absurd! Incidentally, the first documented with the use of the term Rzeczpospolit as a designation of the Polish state can be found in Maćka Borkowica's act of allegiance, for the Polish king Kazimierz the Great on 16. February 1358 in the town of Sieradz. At that time Lithuania was not yet united with Poland at all! So the Polisch term Rzeczpospolit was the name for Poland even then. Because even then the Polish nobility took the first steps towards becoming a noble republic! By the way, the state from back then is generally referred to in Poland as the 1st Polish Republic so the 1st Polish Rzeczpospolita in Polish I Polska Rzeczpospolita. Then in Polish, II Polska Rzeczpospolita is called the Polish Republic between the wars. The III Polska Rzeczpospolita is then the republic for the Poles from 1989 after the liberation from the soviet occupation. The by the communist henchmen so-called Polish People's Republic (in Polish Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa) to which Poland was forced by the Soviets, is not recognized by the Poles as a Polish Rzeczpospolita and therefore there are 3 Rzeczpospolitas and not 4. However generally in Poland the first Polish republic is recognized as the I Polska Rzeczpospolita from the 16th century. This republic is not called in Poland Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but only Polish Rzeczpospolita (republic). Because that was above all a Polish state and a Polish empire! Before that it was also a Polish Kingdom and Empire! The term Rzeczpospolita seems difficult to pronounce for non-Poles. But that is not the case at all. With a little practice, anyone can pronounce the term correctly, even you. A little help: Rz is pronounced like the "isi" in vision. So virzon sounds like vision. Cz sounds like the "ch" in church. So Czurcz sounds like church. But if one just use "sh" instead of "rz", that sounds close to Polish. "Ch" can be used instead of "cz". With these clues, everyone can probably read the term Rzeczpospolita. The Anglicized term Shechpospolita could also be used as an alternative. So Shechpospolita would be written in English, which could be pronounced without problems. So there is no reason not to use this correct term Rzeczpospolita or Shechpospolita. By the way, the Polish Empire could also be used as an alternative to Rzeczpospolita for this state if one wants to use a modern term. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were the rulers. So just a wrong translation and the false claim about equality and equal status of Poland and Lithuania that didn't exist! Because that was a Polish empire controlled by Poles.
@@GreatPolishWingedHussars nah, it was called rzeczpospolita obojga narodow, which translates literally to commonthing of both nations. thus polish-lithuanian commonwealth is a good translation.
@@wilhelmu Your claim does not correspond to historical reality! The term of the Rzeczpospolita of two nations was used very rarely. Because that was just an empty phrase that had nothing to do with reality. The term with the two nations was also not used as the name of the state. Used in international treaties and diplomacy, the state has been called the most serene ( most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. Its residents simply referred it in the everyday language as Rzeczpospolita or Poland occasionally also the crown. In the document establishing the Rzeczpospolita it is stated that "by this agreement the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania are an inseparable, undivided entity and a common republic that united both states and nations into one people" So that contradicts this term with both nations. Incidentally, you don't use the wrong translation Commonwealth yourself and instead use "commonthing of both nations"! Why? Because Commonwealth is the wrong translation of Polish term Rzeczpospolita. Incidentally, Poland is still called Rzeczpospolita Polska in Poland today, which is translated into the English Republic of Poland and not wrong Commonwealth Poland. Republic not Commonwealth! By the way, Lithuania doesn't call itself Rzeczpospolita, just Poland calls itself Rzeczpospolita. Because that was always Poland and the name of the Polish Empire and State. So with the arguments I listed above and these additional arguments, you should then have understood that the term Commonwealth is wrong and that the term with both nations does not correspond to historical reality either.
Poland is a lot bigger now than it was through most of its time. And I dont really know if we should include Poland-Lithuania in this, since it was not just poland?
@@TheBarser by the latter stage of the union Poland ennexed most of the Lithuanuans lands past Belarus and became dominant. Also it's still smaller or at most similar now compared to how it was throughout its time.
It would be interesting if you could add Napoleon the man that took Poland from Prussia and show how Prussia lost this land but still have some other territories that where apart of Poland

It is not bad at all, but it could be better. You tried to concentrate on two states, but you ignored lots of the important context (f.ex., cosak uprising or dynastic quarters), so it is hard to understand all this map changes.
You could also show Napoleons invasion on Russia, as polish state - Duchy of Warsaw - was involved in it. Anyway I hope you will create extended version of this video including Russian-Lithuanian Wars and maybe polish wars with Rus' (981, 1018, 1022, 1031, 1074, 1077, 1340-1392, 1487-94, 1500 - 1503, 1507 - 1508, 1512 - 1522, 1534 - 1537, this is the most important, se en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Poland for all). This looks like it is many wars, but majority of them would last something like 20s on screen + text before.
This was not a Polish-Russian war. It was a war between Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian state. Many people forget that at that time the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was a state made up of two countries bound together by a real union. One part was the Kingdom of Poland and the other part was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Lithuanians never called themselves Poles, only Lithuanians. I am a Pole, but I think that forgetting that this state was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is damaging relations between today's Poland and today's Lithuania.
Iliya Dadgar Nor should you because we’re just civilians and we’re not at war, and due to the fact neither of us are directly involved with either regimes
Polish-Bolsheviks war wasn't between Russia and Poland. Russian Empire was fighting against Bolsheviks. It wasn't Russia or USSR which was created years later. It was Bolsheviks revolution
@@michamarkiewicz1642 No Bolsheviks was united Ukrainian Belarusian Baltics and Russian people which had communist ideas but wasn't official country They didn't had goverment or professional generals It was just marching people into Europe to spread communist ideas and it wasn't Russia Russian goverment wanted monarchy and to fight Bolsheviks that's why Bolsheviks killed the tsar
@@Kenzi2731 both in tsarist and bolshevik movements there were members of other nation. Russia was a great empire, it was natural that people form other nations than russian adopted russian culture and became the members of russian elite. Even now: for example Sergei Shoigu is Tuvinian. Lavrov has armenian roots from one side etc etc
@@michamarkiewicz1642 I used Belarussian SSFR Ukrainian and more just for example And Bolsheviks wasn't a country To be named a country u need to be recognized by other world nations and USSR wasn't recognized until civil war ended fully and war with Poland USSR was formally created in 1922 or 1924 and war between Poland was in 1920 So Bolsheviks was just random people making a revolution but it wasn't ruled by Russian goverment so it wasn't Russia Russia and USSR isn't the same country Russia and Russian Empire is the same country
It would be an interesting alternative to see - Lithuania not being a junior partner in commonwealth. But even without Poland lithuanians were a minority in their own country. May be it could work if duchy was united in one religion.
@@moinsen3906 do you want to say that lithuanian language was used as often as polish, lithuanian economy wasn`t significantly smaller than polish, there was as many lithuanians as poles, and Lithuania had not given their rulership over Ukraine to polish crown? Or that they had equal rights de jure? I can agree only with the last part.
If you include The Duchy of Moscow, you also have: Muscovite-Lithuanian Wars Livonian War Northern Seven Years' War Include invasions you have: The Russian invasion of Livonia
Très bonne video de qualité et un travail bien fourni! Il autait été en ore mieux en bonus que soient montrés les territoires contrôlés par le Tsar Faux Dmitri II en 1609-10; ainsi que la république socialiste de Lithuanie-Biélorussie soit coloriée en bleu, comme tu l'avais fait pour la RSS ukrainienne (dont les frontières bougeaient beaucoup plus au sud à cause des combats contre l'Ukraine et les Blancs) mais c'est un excellent travail!
Советско - польская война неправильно показано, в то время был открыт еще крымский и кавказский фронт, и у советов тех земель еще не было даже и близко
I think you forgot about Lisowczycy advance in Southern Russia. He captures Kursk and defeated Russian forces at Bolkhov, in 1617. And even more Polish army with a Cossack hetman, Petro Sahaidachny attacked South and resulted in sacks numerous forts such as Putivl, Kursk, Yelets.
Yes, there were some mistakes in the video! For example when Poland conquered Moscow in the war of 1609-1618, the son of the Polish king became Tsar of Russia. Therefore, on the map at that time, the territory of Russia should have been marked as the territory ruled by Poland. A large part of the Russian nobility wanted to submit to the new tsar from Poland. Unfortunately, because of the king's incompetence mainly religious intolerance , Poland lost control of Russia. Despite losing control of Russia, the Polish Empire was able to conquer important areas such as the city of Smolensk. Which is also a mistake to mention the Polish Bolshevik War in the list of Polish-Russian wars. Because the Polish-Bolshevik War was not a Polish-Russian war, since the enemy were international communists and not just Russian communists. Many important Bolshevik officials were not Russian. Lazar Kaganovich was a Jew! He was the head of the bolshevik government of Tashkent! Solomon Lozovsky was Jewish! He was the executive of Communist International. Semyon Dimanstein was Jewish! He played a central role in the work of the People's Commissariat of Nationalities. Adolph Joffe was a Crimean Tatar! He was People's Commissar (minister) of State Control of the Ukrainian. Lazar Kaganowitsch was Jewish! He was the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Grigory Sokolnikov was Jewish! He was posted to Central Asia as chairman of the government of Turkestan and commander of the Turkestan army! Yakov Sverdlov was Jewish! He worked to consolidate Bolshevik control of newly conquered territories and coordinated there the Red Terror campaigns. He also played a major role in authorising the execution of the Romanov royal family in July 1918. Lev Kamenev was Jewish! He was President of the Council of People's Commissars and Politburo chairman. Yakov Yurovsky was Jewish! He was Chief of the Gold Department of the State Treasury. The commanders of the Red Army were also international! Leon Trotsky was Jewish. He headed the Red Army as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs. Sergey Kamenev was Ukrainian! He was commander in chief of the red army and the most important man in the red army after Trotsky. Joseph Stalin was Georgian! Commander of the Southwest Front! Mikhail Alafuso was Ukrainian! He was Chief of Staff of the 3 Army. August Kork was an Estonian! He was the commander of the 6th Army. Hayk Bzhishkyan was Armenian! He was commander of the III Cavalry Corps. Nikolai Sollogub was Belarusian! Commander of the 16th Army! Ivar Smilga was a Latvian! He headed the Revolutionary Military Council of the Western Front. By the way, apart from the fact that they were all international Bolsheviks, they had something else in common! They were all defeated by the Poles in the 1919-21 war. In any case, I could go on and on with the list of international Bolshevik officials and officers showing that this was not a fight against Russia, but against international Communism. Which is why this war of 1919-21 should properly be called the Polish Bolshevik War and not the Polish Russian War. I continue the comment below!
Another mistake in the video is that the wrong term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was used. Which unfortunately is a standard error. The use of this term is incorrect for two reasons! The first reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is incorrect is the fact that the incorrect use of the term Commonwealth gives the impression that the Polish state has some kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the incorrect term Commonwealth would suggest. But this state was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the wrong term Commonwealth suggests. So the Rzeczpospolita was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Poles dominated all peoples of the empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were imperial ruling ethnic group. The Poles dominated the entire state! So also Lithuania. There was no equality whatsoever as the wrong term "common wealth" suggests. Polish wealth was always crucial. So if anything then Polishwealth and not Commonwealth. The state took over the Polish constitution Nihil Novi in1505 and not a Lithuanian constitution. Thi imperial constitution of 1505 was the actual founding of the Rzeczpospolita. Determined by the Polish Parliament Sejm! That the Poles dominated the state is also clearly shown by the name of the state. The ruling Poles have also determined what the state should be called Polisch Rzeczpospolita! But even before the establishment of the Rzeczpospolita Poland was an empire and then during the time of the Rzeczpospolita, Poland continued to be an empire! That was actually just the founding of the Polish noble Republic democracy by the Polish nobility. Which, amazingly, was nevertheless a monarchy with a king elected by the nobility!So the founding of the Polish monarchical noble republic as an elective monarchy. It was revolutionary at that time, because 10%-15% of the population, which was the Polish nobility at that time, had the power for the internal affairs of the state. In the rest of Europe, the proportion of the population of the nobility was 1% of the population and not 10-15% as in Poland. In the rest of Europe, with the exception of England and some Italian republics, monarchs ruled despotically. So otherwise despots rule everywhere! The revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505 passed by the Polish parliament applied to the entire Polish Empire as well as to Lithuania. Through this revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505, Poland became the Rzeczpospolita Nobles' Democracy!

So this term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong! This term is wrong because the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is a modern, nonsensical invention by 20th century historians that does not correspond to reality. This state was never called Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. NEVER! Used in international treaties and diplomacy, the state has been called the most serene ( most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. Its residents simply referred it in the everyday language as Rzeczpospolita or Poland occasionally also the crown. The correct translation for Rzeczpospolita is Republic and certainly not Commonwealth. In other languages it is also correctly translated as a republic, but in English it is always translated incorrectly as Commonwealth. The wrong translation is used again and again. But even today, Poland calls itself Rzeczpospolita Polska, which is actually the official Polish name of the state! Lithuania doesn't call itself that way. Because in reality, Poland was the Rzeczpospolita in earlier times and is that still today! Not Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but the Polska Rzeczpospolita! Would anyone call Poland today Commonwealth because Poland today is Rzeczpospolita? Of course not, because it is wrong today as it was wrong in the past to call this Polish state Commonwealth! Today Rzeczpospolita Polska is also correctly translated in English as the Republic of Poland and not wrong Commonwealth Poland! Why is that then wrongly translated with Commonwealth for the earlier times. Actually absurd! Incidentally, the first documented with the use of the term Rzeczpospolit as a designation of the Polish state can be found in Maćka Borkowica's act of allegiance, for the Polish king Kazimierz the Great on 16. February 1358 in the town of Sieradz. At that time Lithuania was not yet united with Poland at all! So the Polisch term Rzeczpospolit was the name for Poland even then. Because even then the Polish nobility took the first steps towards becoming a noble republic! By the way, the state from back then is generally referred to in Poland as the 1st Polish Republic so the 1st Polish Rzeczpospolita in Polish I Polska Rzeczpospolita. Then in Polish, II Polska Rzeczpospolita is called the Polish Republic between the wars. The III Polska Rzeczpospolita is then the republic for the Poles from 1989 after the liberation from the soviet occupation. The by the communist henchmen so-called Polish People's Republic (in Polish Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa) to which Poland was forced by the Soviets, is not recognized by the Poles as a Polish Rzeczpospolita and therefore there are 3 Rzeczpospolitas and not 4. However generally in Poland the first Polish republic is recognized as the I Polska Rzeczpospolita from the 16th century. This republic is not called in Poland Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but only Polish Rzeczpospolita (republic). Because that was above all a Polish state and a Polish empire! Before that it was also a Polish Kingdom and Empire! The term Rzeczpospolita seems difficult to pronounce for non-Poles. But that is not the case at all. With a little practice, anyone can pronounce the term correctly, even you. A little help: Rz is pronounced like the "isi" in vision. So virzon sounds like vision. Cz sounds like the "ch" in church. So Czurcz sounds like church. But if one just use "sh" instead of "rz", that sounds close to Polish. "Ch" can be used instead of "cz". With these clues, everyone can probably read the term Rzeczpospolita. The Anglicized term Shechpospolita could also be used as an alternative. So Shechpospolita would be written in English, which could be pronounced without problems. So there is no reason not to use this correct term Rzeczpospolita or Shechpospolita. By the way, the Polish Empire could also be used as an alternative to Rzeczpospolita for this state if one wants to use a modern term. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were the rulers. So just a wrong translation and the false claim about equality and equal status of Poland and Lithuania that didn't exist! Because that was a Polish empire controlled by Poles. Antworten

Okay Russians, we had too many wars and our politicians are just shit, we have almost the same military which doesn't matter Why don't we just have fun together Slavic brothers and sisters?
@EternalKhokhol that's probably because Russia is a whole many nation country. Sadly in history has conquered weak nations which would still fight with some weak weapons against sabers and later still wouldn't have tanks that's what happened with the Baltics sadly. We should not have wars, don't you think what we have is enough for us? Even if someone is a mix of Slavic, he's seen very good there.

The Ottoman state did not accept the sharing of the Kingdom of Lehistan for many years. When the sultan accepted the foreign ambassadors, he always asked the Polish ambassador, where the grand vizier approached quietly, as if the sultan whispered in his ear, but with the intention to announce to everyone who was there, he said: "The Polish ambassador is on the way, but it is delayed by the traffic on the roads". In some works, in the annual invitations accepted by the Ottoman Grand Viziers to the Russian embassies, the Russian, Austrian and Prussian ambassadors said, "Where is your Polish colleague? I can not see among you!" It is stated that the question is directed.
Turkey know what horrible can be Russia if eats to many countries. Russians in head wants invade Istambul becose they ortodox religigion comes from Konstantinopol. Turkey however have good relationships with Ukraine special some citizens of Ukraine got Tatar Turic roots. We both knows if Ukraine and other falls Russia some day can watch evil eye on Turkey.
What is completely omitted from this video is the fact that before XVIIIth century all wars between Poland and Russia were heavily influenced by religion. Poland has controlled a huge chunk of Orthodox population, with mostly Catholic nobility. That is why for many occasions the populace supported Russian Orthodox Tzar when they had an opportunity to choose. Even more, if to return a couple of centuries earlier - in 14th century, Lithuania could become the center of newly growing Orthodox state instead of Moscow, if their ruling class could adopt Orthodox ways and resist Catholic influence.
Только надо указать ,что Польша украла русские щемли вместе с этим православным населением и геноцидила их. Когда эти земли ьыли в составе Литвы ,то русское православное население было лояльно к власти потому ,что власть не трогала их религию и язык и обычаи.

Germans and Russians tried to occupy poland but of course they couldn't. we are the only european nations that were and are always independent. 1683 has no importance.

@SursumCordaVivatRzplita Polish-Turkish Alliance? - nice joke)) crazy fantasy.especially if you know how Muslims do not like Catholics for the Crusades)
Very nice! I'd suggest you to do the video about Sviatoslav I of Rus campaigns in 964-971, he did really large and successful campaigns which I think can be compared to Alexander the Great's success.
Yes, Sviatoslav I's achievements were impressive! But the comparison with Alexander the Great is an exaggeration. Because Sviatoslav I did not have such a powerful and actually superior enemy as Alexander the Great had with the Persian Empire. By the way, actually a good video but there are some mistakes. When Poland conquered Moscow in the war of 1609-1618, the son of the Polish king became Tsar of Russia. Therefore, on the map at that time, the territory of Russia should have been marked as the territory ruled by Poland. A large part of the Russian nobility wanted to submit to the new tsar from Poland. Unfortunately, because of the king's incompetence mainly religious intolerance , Poland lost control of Russia. Despite losing control of Russia, the Polish Empire was able to conquer important areas such as the city of Smolensk. Which is also a mistake to mention the Polish Bolshevik War in the list of Polish-Russian wars. Because the Polish-Bolshevik War was not a Polish-Russian war, since the enemy were international communists and not just Russian communists. Many important Bolshevik officials were not Russian. Lazar Kaganovich was a Jew! He was the head of the bolshevik government of Tashkent! Solomon Lozovsky was Jewish! He was the executive of Communist International. Semyon Dimanstein was Jewish! He played a central role in the work of the People's Commissariat of Nationalities. Adolph Joffe was a Crimean Tatar! He was People's Commissar (minister) of State Control of the Ukrainian. Lazar Kaganowitsch was Jewish! He was the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Grigory Sokolnikov was Jewish! He was posted to Central Asia as chairman of the government of Turkestan and commander of the Turkestan army! Yakov Sverdlov was Jewish! He worked to consolidate Bolshevik control of newly conquered territories and coordinated there the Red Terror campaigns. He also played a major role in authorising the execution of the Romanov royal family in July 1918. Lev Kamenev was Jewish! He was President of the Council of People's Commissars and Politburo chairman. Yakov Yurovsky was Jewish! He was Chief of the Gold Department of the State Treasury. The commanders of the Red Army were also international! Leon Trotsky was Jewish. He headed the Red Army as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs. Sergey Kamenev was Ukrainian! He was commander in chief of the red army and the most important man in the red army after Trotsky. Joseph Stalin was Georgian! Commander of the Southwest Front! Mikhail Alafuso was Ukrainian! He was Chief of Staff of the 3 Army. August Kork was an Estonian! He was the commander of the 6th Army. Hayk Bzhishkyan was Armenian! He was commander of the III Cavalry Corps. Nikolai Sollogub was Belarusian! Commander of the 16th Army! Ivar Smilga was a Latvian! He headed the Revolutionary Military Council of the Western Front. By the way, apart from the fact that they were all international Bolsheviks, they had something else in common! They were all defeated by the Poles in the 1919-21 war. In any case, I could go on and on with the list of international Bolshevik officials and officers showing that this was not a fight against Russia, but against international Communism. Which is why this war of 1919-21 should properly be called the Polish Bolshevik War and not the Polish Russian War. I continue the comment below!
Another mistake in the video is that the wrong term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was used. Which unfortunately is a standard error. The use of this term is incorrect for two reasons! The first reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is incorrect is the fact that the incorrect use of the term Commonwealth gives the impression that the Polish state has some kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the incorrect term Commonwealth would suggest. But this state was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the wrong term Commonwealth suggests. So the Rzeczpospolita was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Poles dominated all peoples of the empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were imperial ruling ethnic group. The Poles dominated the entire state! So also Lithuania. There was no equality whatsoever as the wrong term "common wealth" suggests. Polish wealth was always crucial. So if anything then Polishwealth and not Commonwealth. The state took over the Polish constitution Nihil Novi in1505 and not a Lithuanian constitution. Thi imperial constitution of 1505 was the actual founding of the Rzeczpospolita. Determined by the Polish Parliament Sejm! That the Poles dominated the state is also clearly shown by the name of the state. The ruling Poles have also determined what the state should be called Polisch Rzeczpospolita! But even before the establishment of the Rzeczpospolita Poland was an empire and then during the time of the Rzeczpospolita, Poland continued to be an empire! That was actually just the founding of the Polish noble Republic democracy by the Polish nobility. Which, amazingly, was nevertheless a monarchy with a king elected by the nobility!So the founding of the Polish monarchical noble republic as an elective monarchy. It was revolutionary at that time, because 10%-15% of the population, which was the Polish nobility at that time, had the power for the internal affairs of the state. In the rest of Europe, the proportion of the population of the nobility was 1% of the population and not 10-15% as in Poland. In the rest of Europe, with the exception of England and some Italian republics, monarchs ruled despotically. So otherwise despots rule everywhere! The revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505 passed by the Polish parliament applied to the entire Polish Empire as well as to Lithuania. Through this revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505, Poland became the Rzeczpospolita Nobles' Democracy! The state was no longer called the Kingdom of Poland, but the most serene (most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. The constitution was the primary element of the democratic governance in the Polish kingdom which granted Parliament extensive powers. The Parliament (Sejm) was a powerful political institution and the king could not pass most of laws without the approval of that body. The second reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong is the fact that it is a mistranslation of the Polish term Rzeczpospolita as I mentioned.

The desire of Ivan the third to conquer the Principality was dictated not only by his personality, but also by the desire of the Moscow principality to unite those lands that were part of Rus, but were subjugated either by Lithuania or the Horde.The population of these Principalities and their language were almost the same.
There was no Russia under Ivan the Third. There was only a Moscow principality, which annexed the territory through military capture or diplomacy.
In addition, Lithuania did not conquer the Russian principalities by any means in a peaceful way. For this reason, this side cannot be called any good or bad. Imperialism is inherent in many European states - Russia, Poland, England, Kaiser Germany, France and many others. T
urkey too.Or do you think that in these countries imperialism arose also because of the Mongols?
@Hubert Turski I think that when you take into account the “important” facts, you miss the real reasons for the conflicts between Moscow (later Russia) and Lithuania. Lithuania fought with the Old Russian state until the collapse of the latter. And just after the defeat of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality from the Mongols, Lithuania was successful and was able to capture a number of Old Russian lands in the 13-14 centuries. This fact is also important. Russian principalities were torn apart by the war with the Horde and could not resist Lithuania. Therefore, it is wrong to consider the Moscow principality the instigator of the war with Lithuania, and then with Poland. The fact that Russia had imperialism in more or less than that of other countries is just sophistry and subjective perception.
Mongolian influence takes place in the philosophy of Russian tsars, but this influence is not the prevalent. Any state can develop and conquer land, as long as it has the resources and centralizations for expansion and holding positions. The state of Poland and Lithuania, which had 2 different armies, two financial flows, and 2 cultural centers, could not be effective. In addition, he had too many strong neighbors and no allies. Sad but true.
Interesting fact: if you read the slogans of the Bolsheviks, you will see that they were directed against imperialism in Russia and around the world. Therefore, the crimes of Soviet goverment are not connected with imperialism.
To say that the Moscow Principality and the Russian Empire committed crimes more than other states is strange. This position applies only to the USSR. German Reich and Turkey are on the same line thanks to the genocide of Armenians and Jews

Real incomes more than doubled and the average salary increased eightfold from $80 to $640.[10][11][12] The volume of consumer credit between 2000-2006 increased 45 times,[13][14] and during that same time period, the middle class grew from 8 million to 55 million, an increase of 7 times.

So stop fighting your Ukrainian "brothers". Disrespect from Poland.
I think it is necessary to mention the Duchy of Warsaw, which existed in 1807-1813. His troops participated in the campaign of Napoleon in Russia in 1812, therefore this war is also partly Polish-Russian. If this is not done, it will be unclear, what a way the part of Poland, which was conquered in 1794 by Prussia, in 1830 became part of the Russian Empire.
Napoleon even called his campaign second polish war or something
Pretty sure that was a French puppet state
Actually a good video but there are some mistakes. When Poland conquered Moscow in the war of 1609-1618, the son of the Polish king became Tsar of Russia. Therefore, on the map at that time, the territory of Russia should have been marked as the territory ruled by Poland. A large part of the Russian nobility wanted to submit to the new tsar from Poland. Unfortunately, because of the king's incompetence mainly religious intolerance , Poland lost control of Russia. Despite losing control of Russia, the Polish Empire was able to conquer important areas such as the city of Smolensk.
Which is also a mistake to mention the Polish Bolshevik War in the list of Polish-Russian wars. Because the Polish-Bolshevik War was not a Polish-Russian war, since the enemy were international communists and not just Russian communists. Many important Bolshevik officials were not Russian. Lazar Kaganovich was a Jew! He was the head of the bolshevik government of Tashkent! Solomon Lozovsky was Jewish! He was the executive of Communist International. Semyon Dimanstein was Jewish! He played a central role in the work of the People's Commissariat of Nationalities. Adolph Joffe was a Crimean Tatar! He was People's Commissar (minister) of State Control of the Ukrainian. Lazar Kaganowitsch was Jewish! He was the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Grigory Sokolnikov was Jewish! He was posted to Central Asia as chairman of the government of Turkestan and commander of the Turkestan army! Yakov Sverdlov was Jewish! He worked to consolidate Bolshevik control of newly conquered territories and coordinated there the Red Terror campaigns. He also played a major role in authorising the execution of the Romanov royal family in July 1918. Lev Kamenev was Jewish! He was President of the Council of People's Commissars and Politburo chairman. Yakov Yurovsky was Jewish! He was Chief of the Gold Department of the State Treasury. The commanders of the Red Army were also international! Leon Trotsky was Jewish. He headed the Red Army as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs. Sergey Kamenev was Ukrainian! He was commander in chief of the red army and the most important man in the red army after Trotsky. Joseph Stalin was Georgian! Commander of the Southwest Front! Mikhail Alafuso was Ukrainian! He was Chief of Staff of the 3 Army. August Kork was an Estonian! He was the commander of the 6th Army. Hayk Bzhishkyan was Armenian! He was commander of the III Cavalry Corps. Nikolai Sollogub was Belarusian! Commander of the 16th Army! Ivar Smilga was a Latvian! He headed the Revolutionary Military Council of the Western Front. By the way, apart from the fact that they were all international Bolsheviks, they had something else in common! They were all defeated by the Poles in the 1919-21 war. In any case, I could go on and on with the list of international Bolshevik officials and officers showing that this was not a fight against Russia, but against international Communism. Which is why this war of 1919-21 should properly be called the Polish Bolshevik War and not the Polish Russian War.
I continue the comment below!
Another mistake in the video is that the wrong term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was used. Which unfortunately is a standard error. The use of this term is incorrect for two reasons! The first reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is incorrect is the fact that the incorrect use of the term Commonwealth gives the impression that the Polish state has some kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the incorrect term Commonwealth would suggest. But this state was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the wrong term Commonwealth suggests. So the Rzeczpospolita was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Poles dominated all peoples of the empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were imperial ruling ethnic group. The Poles dominated the entire state! So also Lithuania. There was no equality whatsoever as the wrong term "common wealth" suggests. Polish wealth was always crucial. So if anything then Polishwealth and not Commonwealth. The state took over the Polish constitution Nihil Novi in1505 and not a Lithuanian constitution. Thi imperial constitution of 1505 was the actual founding of the Rzeczpospolita. Determined by the Polish Parliament Sejm! That the Poles dominated the state is also clearly shown by the name of the state. The ruling Poles have also determined what the state should be called Polisch Rzeczpospolita! But even before the establishment of the Rzeczpospolita Poland was an empire and then during the time of the Rzeczpospolita, Poland continued to be an empire! That was actually just the founding of the Polish noble Republic democracy by the Polish nobility. Which, amazingly, was nevertheless a monarchy with a king elected by the nobility!So the founding of the Polish monarchical noble republic as an elective monarchy. It was revolutionary at that time, because 10%-15% of the population, which was the Polish nobility at that time, had the power for the internal affairs of the state. In the rest of Europe, the proportion of the population of the nobility was 1% of the population and not 10-15% as in Poland. In the rest of Europe, with the exception of England and some Italian republics, monarchs ruled despotically. So otherwise despots rule everywhere! The revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505 passed by the Polish parliament applied to the entire Polish Empire as well as to Lithuania. Through this revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505, Poland became the Rzeczpospolita Nobles' Democracy! The state was no longer called the Kingdom of Poland, but the most serene (most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. The constitution was the primary element of the democratic governance in the Polish kingdom which granted Parliament extensive powers. The Parliament (Sejm) was a powerful political institution and the king could not pass most of laws without the approval of that body.
The second reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong is the fact that it is a mistranslation of the Polish term Rzeczpospolita as I mentioned. So this term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong! This term is wrong because the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is a modern, nonsensical invention by 20th century historians that does not correspond to reality. This state was never called Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. NEVER! Used in international treaties and diplomacy, the state has been called the most serene ( most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. Its residents simply referred it in the everyday language as Rzeczpospolita or Poland occasionally also the crown. The correct translation for Rzeczpospolita is Republic and certainly not Commonwealth. In other languages it is also correctly translated as a republic, but in English it is always translated incorrectly as Commonwealth. The wrong translation is used again and again. But even today, Poland calls itself Rzeczpospolita Polska, which is actually the official Polish name of the state! Lithuania doesn't call itself that way. Because in reality, Poland was the Rzeczpospolita in earlier times and is that still today! Not Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but the Polska Rzeczpospolita! Would anyone call Poland today Commonwealth because Poland today is Rzeczpospolita? Of course not, because it is wrong today as it was wrong in the past to call this Polish state Commonwealth! Today Rzeczpospolita Polska is also correctly translated in English as the Republic of Poland and not wrong Commonwealth Poland! Why is that then wrongly translated with Commonwealth for the earlier times. Actually absurd! Incidentally, the first documented with the use of the term Rzeczpospolit as a designation of the Polish state can be found in Maćka Borkowica's act of allegiance, for the Polish king Kazimierz the Great on 16. February 1358 in the town of Sieradz. At that time Lithuania was not yet united with Poland at all! So the Polisch term Rzeczpospolit was the name for Poland even then. Because even then the Polish nobility took the first steps towards becoming a noble republic! By the way, the state from back then is generally referred to in Poland as the 1st Polish Republic so the 1st Polish Rzeczpospolita in Polish I Polska Rzeczpospolita. Then in Polish, II Polska Rzeczpospolita is called the Polish Republic between the wars. The III Polska Rzeczpospolita is then the republic for the Poles from 1989 after the liberation from the soviet occupation. The by the communist henchmen so-called Polish People's Republic (in Polish Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa) to which Poland was forced by the Soviets, is not recognized by the Poles as a Polish Rzeczpospolita and therefore there are 3 Rzeczpospolitas and not 4. However generally in Poland the first Polish republic is recognized as the I Polska Rzeczpospolita from the 16th century. This republic is not called in Poland Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but only Polish Rzeczpospolita (republic). Because that was above all a Polish state and a Polish empire! Before that it was also a Polish Kingdom and Empire!
The term Rzeczpospolita seems difficult to pronounce for non-Poles. But that is not the case at all. With a little practice, anyone can pronounce the term correctly, even you. A little help: Rz is pronounced like the "isi" in vision. So virzon sounds like vision. Cz sounds like the "ch" in church. So Czurcz sounds like church. But if one just use "sh" instead of "rz", that sounds close to Polish. "Ch" can be used instead of "cz". With these clues, everyone can probably read the term Rzeczpospolita. The Anglicized term Shechpospolita could also be used as an alternative. So Shechpospolita would be written in English, which could be pronounced without problems. So there is no reason not to use this correct term Rzeczpospolita or Shechpospolita.
By the way, the Polish Empire could also be used as an alternative to Rzeczpospolita for this state if one wants to use a modern term. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were the rulers.
So just a wrong translation and the false claim about equality and equal status of Poland and Lithuania that didn't exist! Because that was a Polish empire controlled by Poles.

The III Polska Rzeczpospolita is then the republic for the Poles from 1989 after the liberation from the soviet occupation. The by the communist henchmen so-called Polish People's Republic (in Polish Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa) to which Poland was forced by the Soviets, is not recognized by the Poles as a Polish Rzeczpospolita and therefore there are 3 Rzeczpospolitas and not 4. However generally in Poland the first Polish republic is recognized as the I Polska Rzeczpospolita from the 16th century. This republic is not called in Poland Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but only Polish Rzeczpospolita (republic). Because that was above all a Polish state and a Polish empire! Before that it was also a Polish Kingdom and Empire!
The term Rzeczpospolita seems difficult to pronounce for non-Poles. But that is not the case at all. With a little practice, anyone can pronounce the term correctly, even you. A little help: Rz is pronounced like the "isi" in vision. So virzon sounds like vision. Cz sounds like the "ch" in church. So Czurcz sounds like church. But if one just use "sh" instead of "rz", that sounds close to Polish. "Ch" can be used instead of "cz". With these clues, everyone can probably read the term Rzeczpospolita. The Anglicized term Shechpospolita could also be used as an alternative. So Shechpospolita would be written in English, which could be pronounced without problems. So there is no reason not to use this correct term Rzeczpospolita or Shechpospolita.
By the way, the Polish Empire could also be used as an alternative to Rzeczpospolita for this state if one wants to use a modern term. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were the rulers.
So just a wrong translation and the false claim about equality and equal status of Poland and Lithuania that didn't exist! Because that was a Polish empire controlled by Poles.
In 1794 the leader of the uprising was called Tadeusz Kościuszko 9:21
In 1863 the leaders of the uprising were called: Romuald Traugutt, Marian Langiewicz etc... it's honestly hard to say who was the real leader of the whole uprising because Polish Insurgents didn't had any regular army and generals were leading their army in their own way. 11:21
Well done! Good to remember these Polish heroes! By the way, that is actually a good video but there are some mistakes. When Poland conquered Moscow in the war of 1609-1618, the son of the Polish king became Tsar of Russia. Therefore, on the map at that time, the territory of Russia should have been marked as the territory ruled by Poland. A large part of the Russian nobility wanted to submit to the new tsar from Poland. Unfortunately, because of the king's incompetence mainly religious intolerance , Poland lost control of Russia. Despite losing control of Russia, the Polish Empire was able to conquer important areas such as the city of Smolensk.
Which is also a mistake to mention the Polish Bolshevik War in the list of Polish-Russian wars. Because the Polish-Bolshevik War was not a Polish-Russian war, since the enemy were international communists and not just Russian communists. Many important Bolshevik officials were not Russian. Lazar Kaganovich was a Jew! He was the head of the bolshevik government of Tashkent! Solomon Lozovsky was Jewish! He was the executive of Communist International. Semyon Dimanstein was Jewish! He played a central role in the work of the People's Commissariat of Nationalities. Adolph Joffe was a Crimean Tatar! He was People's Commissar (minister) of State Control of the Ukrainian. Lazar Kaganowitsch was Jewish! He was the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Grigory Sokolnikov was Jewish! He was posted to Central Asia as chairman of the government of Turkestan and commander of the Turkestan army! Yakov Sverdlov was Jewish! He worked to consolidate Bolshevik control of newly conquered territories and coordinated there the Red Terror campaigns. He also played a major role in authorising the execution of the Romanov royal family in July 1918. Lev Kamenev was Jewish! He was President of the Council of People's Commissars and Politburo chairman. Yakov Yurovsky was Jewish! He was Chief of the Gold Department of the State Treasury. The commanders of the Red Army were also international! Leon Trotsky was Jewish. He headed the Red Army as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs. Sergey Kamenev was Ukrainian! He was commander in chief of the red army and the most important man in the red army after Trotsky. Joseph Stalin was Georgian! Commander of the Southwest Front! Mikhail Alafuso was Ukrainian! He was Chief of Staff of the 3 Army. August Kork was an Estonian! He was the commander of the 6th Army. Hayk Bzhishkyan was Armenian! He was commander of the III Cavalry Corps. Nikolai Sollogub was Belarusian! Commander of the 16th Army! Ivar Smilga was a Latvian! He headed the Revolutionary Military Council of the Western Front. By the way, apart from the fact that they were all international Bolsheviks, they had something else in common! They were all defeated by the Poles in the 1919-21 war. In any case, I could go on and on with the list of international Bolshevik officials and officers showing that this was not a fight against Russia, but against international Communism. Which is why this war of 1919-21 should properly be called the Polish Bolshevik War and not the Polish Russian War.
I continue the comment below!
Another mistake in the video is that the wrong term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was used. Which unfortunately is a standard error. The use of this term is incorrect for two reasons! The first reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is incorrect is the fact that the incorrect use of the term Commonwealth gives the impression that the Polish state has some kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the incorrect term Commonwealth would suggest. But this state was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the wrong term Commonwealth suggests. So the Rzeczpospolita was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Poles dominated all peoples of the empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were imperial ruling ethnic group. The Poles dominated the entire state! So also Lithuania. There was no equality whatsoever as the wrong term "common wealth" suggests. Polish wealth was always crucial. So if anything then Polishwealth and not Commonwealth. The state took over the Polish constitution Nihil Novi in1505 and not a Lithuanian constitution. Thi imperial constitution of 1505 was the actual founding of the Rzeczpospolita. Determined by the Polish Parliament Sejm! That the Poles dominated the state is also clearly shown by the name of the state. The ruling Poles have also determined what the state should be called Polisch Rzeczpospolita! But even before the establishment of the Rzeczpospolita Poland was an empire and then during the time of the Rzeczpospolita, Poland continued to be an empire! That was actually just the founding of the Polish noble Republic democracy by the Polish nobility. Which, amazingly, was nevertheless a monarchy with a king elected by the nobility!So the founding of the Polish monarchical noble republic as an elective monarchy. It was revolutionary at that time, because 10%-15% of the population, which was the Polish nobility at that time, had the power for the internal affairs of the state. In the rest of Europe, the proportion of the population of the nobility was 1% of the population and not 10-15% as in Poland. In the rest of Europe, with the exception of England and some Italian republics, monarchs ruled despotically. So otherwise despots rule everywhere! The revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505 passed by the Polish parliament applied to the entire Polish Empire as well as to Lithuania. Through this revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505, Poland became the Rzeczpospolita Nobles' Democracy! The state was no longer called the Kingdom of Poland, but the most serene (most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. The constitution was the primary element of the democratic governance in the Polish kingdom which granted Parliament extensive powers. The Parliament (Sejm) was a powerful political institution and the king could not pass most of laws without the approval of that body.
The second reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong is the fact that it is a mistranslation of the Polish term Rzeczpospolita as I mentioned. So this term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong! This term is wrong because the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is a modern, nonsensical invention by 20th century historians that does not correspond to reality. This state was never called Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. NEVER! Used in international treaties and diplomacy, the state has been called the most serene ( most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. Its residents simply referred it in the everyday language as Rzeczpospolita or Poland occasionally also the crown. The correct translation for Rzeczpospolita is Republic and certainly not Commonwealth. In other languages it is also correctly translated as a republic, but in English it is always translated incorrectly as Commonwealth. The wrong translation is used again and again. But even today, Poland calls itself Rzeczpospolita Polska, which is actually the official Polish name of the state! Lithuania doesn't call itself that way. Because in reality, Poland was the Rzeczpospolita in earlier times and is that still today! Not Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but the Polska Rzeczpospolita! Would anyone call Poland today Commonwealth because Poland today is Rzeczpospolita? Of course not, because it is wrong today as it was wrong in the past to call this Polish state Commonwealth! Today Rzeczpospolita Polska is also correctly translated in English as the Republic of Poland and not wrong Commonwealth Poland! Why is that then wrongly translated with Commonwealth for the earlier times. Actually absurd! Incidentally, the first documented with the use of the term Rzeczpospolit as a designation of the Polish state can be found in Maćka Borkowica's act of allegiance, for the Polish king Kazimierz the Great on 16. February 1358 in the town of Sieradz. At that time Lithuania was not yet united with Poland at all! So the Polisch term Rzeczpospolit was the name for Poland even then. Because even then the Polish nobility took the first steps towards becoming a noble republic! By the way, the state from back then is generally referred to in Poland as the 1st Polish Republic so the 1st Polish Rzeczpospolita in Polish I Polska Rzeczpospolita. Then in Polish, II Polska Rzeczpospolita is called the Polish Republic between the wars. The III Polska Rzeczpospolita is then the republic for the Poles from 1989 after the liberation from the soviet occupation. The by the communist henchmen so-called Polish People's Republic (in Polish Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa) to which Poland was forced by the Soviets, is not recognized by the Poles as a Polish Rzeczpospolita and therefore there are 3 Rzeczpospolitas and not 4. However generally in Poland the first Polish republic is recognized as the I Polska Rzeczpospolita from the 16th century. This republic is not called in Poland Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but only Polish Rzeczpospolita (republic). Because that was above all a Polish state and a Polish empire! Before that it was also a Polish Kingdom and Empire!

By the way, the Polish Empire could also be used as an alternative to Rzeczpospolita for this state if one wants to use a modern term. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were the rulers.
So just a wrong translation and the false claim about equality and equal status of Poland and Lithuania that didn't exist! Because that was a Polish empire controlled by Poles.
@@GreatPolishWingedHussars nah, it was called rzeczpospolita obojga narodow, which translates literally to commonthing of both nations. thus polish-lithuanian commonwealth is a good translation.
@@wilhelmu Your claim does not correspond to historical reality! The term of the Rzeczpospolita of two nations was used very rarely. Because that was just an empty phrase that had nothing to do with reality. The term with the two nations was also not used as the name of the state. Used in international treaties and diplomacy, the state has been called the most serene ( most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. Its residents simply referred it in the everyday language as Rzeczpospolita or Poland occasionally also the crown. In the document establishing the Rzeczpospolita it is stated that "by this agreement the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania are an inseparable, undivided entity and a common republic that united both states and nations into one people" So that contradicts this term with both nations.
Incidentally, you don't use the wrong translation Commonwealth yourself and instead use "commonthing of both nations"! Why? Because Commonwealth is the wrong translation of Polish term Rzeczpospolita. Incidentally, Poland is still called Rzeczpospolita Polska in Poland today, which is translated into the English Republic of Poland and not wrong Commonwealth Poland. Republic not Commonwealth! By the way, Lithuania doesn't call itself Rzeczpospolita, just Poland calls itself Rzeczpospolita. Because that was always Poland and the name of the Polish Empire and State. So with the arguments I listed above and these additional arguments, you should then have understood that the term Commonwealth is wrong and that the term with both nations does not correspond to historical reality either.

This looks like it is many wars, but majority of them would last something like 20s on screen + text before.
This was not a Polish-Russian war. It was a war between Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian state. Many people forget that at that time the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was a state made up of two countries bound together by a real union. One part was the Kingdom of Poland and the other part was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Lithuanians never called themselves Poles, only Lithuanians. I am a Pole, but I think that forgetting that this state was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is damaging relations between today's Poland and today's Lithuania.

Très bonne video de qualité et un travail bien fourni! Il autait été en ore mieux en bonus que soient montrés les territoires contrôlés par le Tsar Faux Dmitri II en 1609-10; ainsi que la république socialiste de Lithuanie-Biélorussie soit coloriée en bleu, comme tu l'avais fait pour la RSS ukrainienne (dont les frontières bougeaient beaucoup plus au sud à cause des combats contre l'Ukraine et les Blancs) mais c'est un excellent travail!
Советско - польская война неправильно показано, в то время был открыт еще крымский и кавказский фронт, и у советов тех земель еще не было даже и близко

I think you forgot about Lisowczycy advance in Southern Russia.
He captures Kursk and defeated Russian forces at Bolkhov, in 1617. And even more Polish army with a Cossack hetman, Petro Sahaidachny attacked South and resulted in sacks numerous forts such as Putivl, Kursk, Yelets.
Yes, there were some mistakes in the video! For example when Poland conquered Moscow in the war of 1609-1618, the son of the Polish king became Tsar of Russia. Therefore, on the map at that time, the territory of Russia should have been marked as the territory ruled by Poland. A large part of the Russian nobility wanted to submit to the new tsar from Poland. Unfortunately, because of the king's incompetence mainly religious intolerance , Poland lost control of Russia. Despite losing control of Russia, the Polish Empire was able to conquer important areas such as the city of Smolensk.
Which is also a mistake to mention the Polish Bolshevik War in the list of Polish-Russian wars. Because the Polish-Bolshevik War was not a Polish-Russian war, since the enemy were international communists and not just Russian communists. Many important Bolshevik officials were not Russian. Lazar Kaganovich was a Jew! He was the head of the bolshevik government of Tashkent! Solomon Lozovsky was Jewish! He was the executive of Communist International. Semyon Dimanstein was Jewish! He played a central role in the work of the People's Commissariat of Nationalities. Adolph Joffe was a Crimean Tatar! He was People's Commissar (minister) of State Control of the Ukrainian. Lazar Kaganowitsch was Jewish! He was the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Grigory Sokolnikov was Jewish! He was posted to Central Asia as chairman of the government of Turkestan and commander of the Turkestan army! Yakov Sverdlov was Jewish! He worked to consolidate Bolshevik control of newly conquered territories and coordinated there the Red Terror campaigns. He also played a major role in authorising the execution of the Romanov royal family in July 1918. Lev Kamenev was Jewish! He was President of the Council of People's Commissars and Politburo chairman. Yakov Yurovsky was Jewish! He was Chief of the Gold Department of the State Treasury. The commanders of the Red Army were also international! Leon Trotsky was Jewish. He headed the Red Army as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs. Sergey Kamenev was Ukrainian! He was commander in chief of the red army and the most important man in the red army after Trotsky. Joseph Stalin was Georgian! Commander of the Southwest Front! Mikhail Alafuso was Ukrainian! He was Chief of Staff of the 3 Army. August Kork was an Estonian! He was the commander of the 6th Army. Hayk Bzhishkyan was Armenian! He was commander of the III Cavalry Corps. Nikolai Sollogub was Belarusian! Commander of the 16th Army! Ivar Smilga was a Latvian! He headed the Revolutionary Military Council of the Western Front. By the way, apart from the fact that they were all international Bolsheviks, they had something else in common! They were all defeated by the Poles in the 1919-21 war. In any case, I could go on and on with the list of international Bolshevik officials and officers showing that this was not a fight against Russia, but against international Communism. Which is why this war of 1919-21 should properly be called the Polish Bolshevik War and not the Polish Russian War.
I continue the comment below!
Another mistake in the video is that the wrong term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was used. Which unfortunately is a standard error. The use of this term is incorrect for two reasons! The first reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is incorrect is the fact that the incorrect use of the term Commonwealth gives the impression that the Polish state has some kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the incorrect term Commonwealth would suggest. But this state was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians as the wrong term Commonwealth suggests. So the Rzeczpospolita was not a kind of legal basis for the equality and equal status of Poles and Lithuanians. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Poles dominated all peoples of the empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were imperial ruling ethnic group. The Poles dominated the entire state! So also Lithuania. There was no equality whatsoever as the wrong term "common wealth" suggests. Polish wealth was always crucial. So if anything then Polishwealth and not Commonwealth. The state took over the Polish constitution Nihil Novi in1505 and not a Lithuanian constitution. Thi imperial constitution of 1505 was the actual founding of the Rzeczpospolita. Determined by the Polish Parliament Sejm! That the Poles dominated the state is also clearly shown by the name of the state. The ruling Poles have also determined what the state should be called Polisch Rzeczpospolita! But even before the establishment of the Rzeczpospolita Poland was an empire and then during the time of the Rzeczpospolita, Poland continued to be an empire! That was actually just the founding of the Polish noble Republic democracy by the Polish nobility. Which, amazingly, was nevertheless a monarchy with a king elected by the nobility!So the founding of the Polish monarchical noble republic as an elective monarchy. It was revolutionary at that time, because 10%-15% of the population, which was the Polish nobility at that time, had the power for the internal affairs of the state. In the rest of Europe, the proportion of the population of the nobility was 1% of the population and not 10-15% as in Poland. In the rest of Europe, with the exception of England and some Italian republics, monarchs ruled despotically. So otherwise despots rule everywhere! The revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505 passed by the Polish parliament applied to the entire Polish Empire as well as to Lithuania. Through this revolutionary constitution Nihil Novi in 1505, Poland became the Rzeczpospolita Nobles' Democracy! The state was no longer called the Kingdom of Poland, but the most serene (most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. The constitution was the primary element of the democratic governance in the Polish kingdom which granted Parliament extensive powers. The Parliament (Sejm) was a powerful political institution and the king could not pass most of laws without the approval of that body.
The second reason why the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong is the fact that it is a mistranslation of the Polish term Rzeczpospolita as I mentioned. So this term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is wrong! This term is wrong because the term Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is a modern, nonsensical invention by 20th century historians that does not correspond to reality. This state was never called Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. NEVER! Used in international treaties and diplomacy, the state has been called the most serene ( most high) Rzeczpospolita Poland. Its residents simply referred it in the everyday language as Rzeczpospolita or Poland occasionally also the crown. The correct translation for Rzeczpospolita is Republic and certainly not Commonwealth. In other languages it is also correctly translated as a republic, but in English it is always translated incorrectly as Commonwealth. The wrong translation is used again and again. But even today, Poland calls itself Rzeczpospolita Polska, which is actually the official Polish name of the state! Lithuania doesn't call itself that way. Because in reality, Poland was the Rzeczpospolita in earlier times and is that still today! Not Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but the Polska Rzeczpospolita! Would anyone call Poland today Commonwealth because Poland today is Rzeczpospolita? Of course not, because it is wrong today as it was wrong in the past to call this Polish state Commonwealth! Today Rzeczpospolita Polska is also correctly translated in English as the Republic of Poland and not wrong Commonwealth Poland! Why is that then wrongly translated with Commonwealth for the earlier times. Actually absurd! Incidentally, the first documented with the use of the term Rzeczpospolit as a designation of the Polish state can be found in Maćka Borkowica's act of allegiance, for the Polish king Kazimierz the Great on 16. February 1358 in the town of Sieradz. At that time Lithuania was not yet united with Poland at all! So the Polisch term Rzeczpospolit was the name for Poland even then. Because even then the Polish nobility took the first steps towards becoming a noble republic! By the way, the state from back then is generally referred to in Poland as the 1st Polish Republic so the 1st Polish Rzeczpospolita in Polish I Polska Rzeczpospolita. Then in Polish, II Polska Rzeczpospolita is called the Polish Republic between the wars. The III Polska Rzeczpospolita is then the republic for the Poles from 1989 after the liberation from the soviet occupation. The by the communist henchmen so-called Polish People's Republic (in Polish Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa) to which Poland was forced by the Soviets, is not recognized by the Poles as a Polish Rzeczpospolita and therefore there are 3 Rzeczpospolitas and not 4. However generally in Poland the first Polish republic is recognized as the I Polska Rzeczpospolita from the 16th century. This republic is not called in Poland Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but only Polish Rzeczpospolita (republic). Because that was above all a Polish state and a Polish empire! Before that it was also a Polish Kingdom and Empire!
The term Rzeczpospolita seems difficult to pronounce for non-Poles. But that is not the case at all. With a little practice, anyone can pronounce the term correctly, even you. A little help: Rz is pronounced like the "isi" in vision. So virzon sounds like vision. Cz sounds like the "ch" in church. So Czurcz sounds like church. But if one just use "sh" instead of "rz", that sounds close to Polish. "Ch" can be used instead of "cz". With these clues, everyone can probably read the term Rzeczpospolita. The Anglicized term Shechpospolita could also be used as an alternative. So Shechpospolita would be written in English, which could be pronounced without problems. So there is no reason not to use this correct term Rzeczpospolita or Shechpospolita.
By the way, the Polish Empire could also be used as an alternative to Rzeczpospolita for this state if one wants to use a modern term. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were the rulers.
So just a wrong translation and the false claim about equality and equal status of Poland and Lithuania that didn't exist! Because that was a Polish empire controlled by Poles.

The Ottoman state did not accept the sharing of the Kingdom of Lehistan for many years. When the sultan accepted the foreign ambassadors, he always asked the Polish ambassador, where the grand vizier approached quietly, as if the sultan whispered in his ear, but with the intention to announce to everyone who was there, he said: "The Polish ambassador is on the way, but it is delayed by the traffic on the roads". In some works, in the annual invitations accepted by the Ottoman Grand Viziers to the Russian embassies, the Russian, Austrian and Prussian ambassadors said, "Where is your Polish colleague? I can not see among you!" It is stated that the question is directed.
Turkey know what horrible can be Russia if eats to many countries. Russians in head wants invade Istambul becose they ortodox religigion comes from Konstantinopol. Turkey however have good relationships with Ukraine special some citizens of Ukraine got Tatar Turic roots. We both knows if Ukraine and other falls Russia some day can watch evil eye on Turkey.
What is completely omitted from this video is the fact that before XVIIIth century all wars between Poland and Russia were heavily influenced by religion.
Poland has controlled a huge chunk of Orthodox population, with mostly Catholic nobility. That is why for many occasions the populace supported Russian Orthodox Tzar when they had an opportunity to choose.
Even more, if to return a couple of centuries earlier - in 14th century, Lithuania could become the center of newly growing Orthodox state instead of Moscow, if their ruling class could adopt Orthodox ways and resist Catholic influence.
The 1768 war was also influenced by religion because the Orthodox Polish nobility wanted Russian help against Catholic domination
Только надо указать ,что Польша украла русские щемли вместе с этим православным населением и геноцидила их. Когда эти земли ьыли в составе Литвы ,то русское православное население было лояльно к власти потому ,что власть не трогала их религию и язык и обычаи.

Very nice! I'd suggest you to do the video about Sviatoslav I of Rus campaigns in 964-971, he did really large and successful campaigns which I think can be compared to Alexander the Great's success.
Yes, Sviatoslav I's achievements were impressive! But the comparison with Alexander the Great is an exaggeration. Because Sviatoslav I did not have such a powerful and actually superior enemy as Alexander the Great had with the Persian Empire. By the way, actually a good video but there are some mistakes.

February 1358 in the town of Sieradz. At that time Lithuania was not yet united with Poland at all! So the Polisch term Rzeczpospolit was the name for Poland even then. Because even then the Polish nobility took the first steps towards becoming a noble republic! By the way, the state from back then is generally referred to in Poland as the 1st Polish Republic so the 1st Polish Rzeczpospolita in Polish I Polska Rzeczpospolita. Then in Polish, II Polska Rzeczpospolita is called the Polish Republic between the wars. The III Polska Rzeczpospolita is then the republic for the Poles from 1989 after the liberation from the soviet occupation. The by the communist henchmen so-called Polish People's Republic (in Polish Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa) to which Poland was forced by the Soviets, is not recognized by the Poles as a Polish Rzeczpospolita and therefore there are 3 Rzeczpospolitas and not 4. However generally in Poland the first Polish republic is recognized as the I Polska Rzeczpospolita from the 16th century. This republic is not called in Poland Polish Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita but only Polish Rzeczpospolita (republic). Because that was above all a Polish state and a Polish empire! Before that it was also a Polish Kingdom and Empire!
The term Rzeczpospolita seems difficult to pronounce for non-Poles. But that is not the case at all. With a little practice, anyone can pronounce the term correctly, even you. A little help: Rz is pronounced like the "isi" in vision. So virzon sounds like vision. Cz sounds like the "ch" in church. So Czurcz sounds like church. But if one just use "sh" instead of "rz", that sounds close to Polish. "Ch" can be used instead of "cz". With these clues, everyone can probably read the term Rzeczpospolita. The Anglicized term Shechpospolita could also be used as an alternative. So Shechpospolita would be written in English, which could be pronounced without problems. So there is no reason not to use this correct term Rzeczpospolita or Shechpospolita.
By the way, the Polish Empire could also be used as an alternative to Rzeczpospolita for this state if one wants to use a modern term. Because that was a Polish Empire and not a Polish Lithuanian Empire. Because the Poles completely dominated this state and were the rulers.
So just a wrong translation and the false claim about equality and equal status of Poland and Lithuania that didn't exist! Because that was a Polish empire controlled by Poles.

@@TheAbsoluteEditz4 history and the future are completely different things. We did shit to Russia too in the past, we dominated them till the mid/late 1700s when our own people became the problem too, removing us was a necessity for Russia and your only interest in us is to be a buffer against them which is to mean 'in the case of war we chose you Poland to lose millions and have your land destroyed!'. America did nothing? Exactly, you watched us suffer and did nothing. In fact you betrayed us into that suffering, to me the watcher is as bad the one doing the bad.

11:18 is there any historical evidence of that flag being used? I'm not talking about the coat of arms of January Uprising, but the white-red-blue flag.
England and France paid dearly for the recognition of the independence of the Western territories of the Russian Empire (Poland, Finland, the Baltic States). Russians lost 10%-15% of their territories. But the Soviet Union destroyed the Western colonial world order (France and England lost 90%).
Russian always pays his debts!

Yeah but it was kinda a pussy move from Stalin - Polish soldiers already struggled with much bigger forces of Hitler, and Stalin decided to attack weakened Poland to take it's land, avoiding the bigger confrontation.
So Poland has captured Moscow and Russia has captured Warsaw. Cool.
