I think it's important to note that: Poland wasn't on the world map for a terrible 123 years. In the eyes of the world we were non-existent. Yet we survived that time and preserved our language, culture and history, despite oppression, and today stand as a free, independent country. That is incredible.

There's only a handful of independent countries these days.

@@BunnyhopsX everywhere the title of queen means both consort and sole ruler. We didn't have king Elisabeth II but queen Elisabeth, as well as Catherine the Great was empress, not emperor. There is one line from one chronicle where there is "est in regem Polonie coronata" (instead: reginam) so probably author wanted to emphasize that she was not crowned as queen consort. Based on this 19th century Polish historiography made theory about Jadwiga as "king" (sometimes continued to this day, as we see) but that is ungrammatical and without historical justification. In her time that was obvious to everyone that she is a queen, regina, not king, rex. She wasn't the only woman-ruler and all the others are queens: queen Elisabeth of England, queen Isabel of Castile, queen Margaret of Denmark, even Jadwiga's sister: queen Mary of Hungary.

@@michadebicki5505 The problem is with the language - because there is no direct translation of the word queen into Polish. We usually translate it to "królowa" but "królowa" literally means a wife of a king (król). It's the same with "pułkownikOWA" - a wife of a colonel (pułkownik), not a female colonel (for whom we use title "pani pułkownik" - madam colonel), majorOWA - a wife of a major, not a female major (for whom we use the title "pani major" - madam major), etc. So for Jadwiga the proper title would be "pani król" (madam king or lady king).

"Poland decided to invade it and the two countries have disliked each other ever since". I know that the lack of time prevents elaboration, however it's a lie. Muscovites attacked Lithuania (in union with Poland) since the late XV century, and claimed Ruthenia with Kiev with the title of "tsar of all-russia". There is also of course I Northern War, where the muscovites attacked the lands of the former Livonian Order, which pledged loyalty to Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. So the Polish-muscovite conflict is older than XVII century, and Poland definitely is not the agressor. More than that, even the 1609 invasion was a defensive war, becuase it was an effect of the treaty of Vipuri, where muscovites signed an alliance with Sweden, and Sweden was currently at war with the PLC. I guess it's called "preventive war"

Yeah with these kind of relations you can always go back and claim it's the other side who started it. If you want you can start with Ivan the Terrible invading Lithuania. If you want, you can go back few centuries to Casimir the Great invading Ruthenia. And before that Kievan Rus and Polish states fought, all the way back to Bolesław the brave raiding Kyiv in 10th century and Jarosław the Wise revisiting Poznań few years later :) And there were probably wars before that, but the record is spotty at that point :)

Very nice, but it asks to provide several milestones in the Polish history that actually affected the entire Western civilization: 1. In the 12th - 13th century the Kingdom of Poland set its main principle to not be an imperial style of state (as opposed to most of the other European countries). This is later seen that Poland preferred expansion by union not conquest. This union was the most visible with the creation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. (Chronica seu originale regum et principum Poloniae - a Latin history of Poland written by Wincenty Kadłubek between 1190 and 1208 CE). In 17th century the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth tried to unify together with Russia (and that would be a creation of a super state), but... you can take a slave out of Russian state, but you can't take a slave out of a Russian man. 2. 1425 - Neminem captivabimus. Law in Poland requiring due process to any arrested person. Next country that came up with a similar law was England 200 years later. 3. Council of Constance 1478 - Polish legalists defended the rights of pagans and their right to their land over "imperialistic" Western Europe. Next such an idea came up in Spain some 150 years later during South America colonization. 4. The Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791 - the first in Europe and the second in the world (after the US) modern constitution.

As a Pole my self, I can agree It is a very well-made and history accurate video about my country. Thanks for including Nazi-Soviet alliance, which is often "censored" and not talked about.
Thank you very much for presenting the very turbulent, often bloody and sad history of my country. Today, probably no Pole is surprised that in a situation of potential threat on the eastern border of Poland, the government of this country wants to have the strongest army in Europe in a few years. Because Poles, like no other nation, know perfectly well that Freedom is a treasure that is never given forever and must always be ready to defend it. P.S. In the ranking of the American CNN station, Poland is in the first place of countries worth visiting. (Mainly because of the best price/service ratio, I think). On the other hand, my country is not perfect because there are still many things to improve and new things to do. I would say that Poland is only halfway to achieving a prosperous existence.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm literally moved to tears by it. Godbless yall
Hi! You did best job with history in the pill. This is perfect intruduction because it's including every important events but in basic that every person can go deeper with something, but in here you can start to learn more and you will not miss anything. I will recommend this movie, to the tourists.
Calling winged hussars "heavy cavalery" is bit of a streach as they used both heavy and light cavalery tactics depending on situation, so proper term would be "versatile". They decidedly used heavy cavalery tactics against other cavalery (where they lingered using tactics similar to curasiers of the period) and focused on ligtning fast strikes against infantry (focused on contiuing momentum- and where famous long yet hollow inside lances where used to great effect). They where swiss army knife of a cavalery- using difrent bits for difrent tasks- after all "standard" armament (it was self selective, self stndardisng and self orgasining type of unit structure) of hussar where at couple dozen lances called "little trees"/"drzewko" (as they where single use guaranteeing couple of kills on tightly formed infantry), cavalery sabre (usually "hungarian style"), 1.5m long rapier ("koncerz") or backsword of similar lenght (as a back up for emergency changes when there is no time to grab new lance and there is a need for another charge/selfefence), couple of pistols (preferably multibarelled and using wheellock for reliablity) for anti-cavalery work, and couple of horses (breed that is lost to histry being mix of nimble middle-eastern cavalery horses mixed with heavier bulkier breeds typical for heavy cavalery- so there is a possiblity to recreate that breed just like it was done with many polish breeds of dogs known - like it was done to polish lowland shepard dog). Note- hussar armor was usually ligher than curassier armor of same periods featuring little to no protection of legs and back, focusing on frontal effectivness.
Great job, really enjoyed it- particularly the objectivism in this video!

Good job! I appreciate it very much as a Pole, since this is perhaps one of the best summaries of Polish history I've seen. It's also impressive that you nailed the pronounciation - brilliant! I only missed the name of Józef Piłsudski, who was a key figure in Poland between the World Wars and should have been noted. Others have already noted the fact of Jadwiga being a king, not a queen (I know, strange - when I learned it at school it was also weird for me - that's how naming worked back then in Polish). Everything else is perfect as for such a short form.

Wyjątkowo PROFESJONALNIE RZECZOWO I DOKŁADNIE ! przedstawiona historia Polski.
For those who say that Jadwiga was "King" and not a "Queen". She was "Queen", but ruler, not King's wife. The problem is that in Poland there was no instance of female ruler before Jadwiga, so there was no reason to create new title. When Jadwiga was coronated, she was coronated as "Król", but she was female, and english word for female king is "queen". So... Yes, Jadwiga was "Król", but she was not "King", she was "Queen", because both "King" and "Queen" in terms of ruler (not ruler wife/husband) are translated into "Król"... Well, it was, because right now there is sex distinction King = król, Queen = królowa. But back in time of Jadwiga, there was no such distinction, "Królowa" was wife of the King, and "Król" was a ruler despite of their gender, even if in other languages there was distinction. So yes, Jadwiga was Queen, and yes, Jadwiga was "król".
Great video, I think that the Duchy of Warsaw is worth mentioning, the time when Napoleon gave Poland few years of independence (at least from previous oppressors). It is mentioned in our national epic Pan Tadeusz.
Excellent video, you've summarised Polish history really well!
Coming from a Pole GREAT JOB! You did mention all of the most important things in our history that are deeply embedded in our culture, very nice video

techniclly, Jadwiga was a KING weardly enough before her marrage when she became a queen.
4:34 The Painting used for January Uprising is depicting the November Uprising. During the January Uprising soldiers did not have army uniforms, which was the case during the November uprising. Funnily enough this painting and a question about uprisings was featured in the secondary school exams during my school times. Many people failed that question because they did not consider that it does sometimes snow in November in Poland.

3 times : 1. Europe was supposed to be Islamist . The strongest formation in the world at that time, King Sobieski's Hussars, decided to defeat the biggest on the world Ottoman"s army near Vienna 2. Europe was supposed to be communist . If the Poles had lost the Battle of Warsaw in 1920, the Soviet chords would certainly have reached Berlin, where they would have strengthened the German communist movement there, and then this band of "people's liberators" would have moved to France. 3 . All Europe was supposed to be lost freedom . If Britain had lost to Hitler in 1940, all of Europe would have lost its freedom for many years. (then regaining freedom would be possible if the German army, armed for years, would probably lose to the USA after a long war. And assuming that the American president would take up the fight instead of concluding a non-aggression pact with Hitler) Polish pilots during the Battle of Britain accounted for 5% of all pilots and shot down 12% of enemy aircraft. After winning the battle, the commander of the Royal Air Force, Sir Hugh Dowding, said that if it had not been for the participation of Polish pilots, the outcome of this battle could have gone differently. In this battle, the German air force suffered such heavy losses that Hitler decided to stop attacking altogether. Historians believe that if the battle had lasted about 2 more weeks then the already very tired British air force would have surrendered. Someone also calculated that these 12% of shot downs by Polish pilots is the equivalent of these 2 weeks of combat, which would have given the Nazis a victory. It can be said that the fate of Europe hung in the balance at that time.

But i am a little sad that u didn't include the real reason why Russia "hates us", basically Poland was the only country to ever capture Moscow while it was the capital city. The only other time Moscow was captured, which was done by Napoleon, St.Petersburg was the capital at that time and also they kinda marched into an abandoned city couse of the defensive tactics used by the Russians. Sooo yeah. keep up the great work
Awesome vid. One thing though Jadwiga was a King not a Queen. In Polish history Queen was a title given to Kings wife. :)
Thank you and youtube for recommending this video, I now know more about my country and why some countris dislike Poland
Why didn't you include the chunk with napoleon

This. The entire period with the Polish Legions and the Duchy of Warsaw isn’t mentioned at all.

Najlepsze wideo w historii! Panie Historii, dałeś mi najlepszy dzień w historii, kiedy mój kraj został najechany, ustał, a następnie ponownie powstał z rąk obcych mocarstw z Prus, Austro-Węgier i Czarskiej Rosji ucisku, nazistowskich Niemiec i im komunistycznej Rosji, aż uzyskaliśmy niepodległość i wolność od ucisku! Jestem Polakiem i kocham mój kraj, daliście mi najszczęśliwszy dzień w historii dla całej Polski i Polaków! Dziękuje! NIECH ŻYJE POLSKA!!!!!! ⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️ ⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

In Warsaw there live "noble" persons yet. They thinks that they are higher that people who came to Warsaw to live, not born in Warsaw (native), that's why they are easy and hard people to talk. Warsaw now is a place where you can meet every type of person.
