Well, John Casimir Vasa conducted a harassing campaign to buy time, which is relatively "boring" compared to pitched battles. And normally I agree, Eastory managed to fascinate me on the Deluge, but not John's (correct) tactics to regaining the country even though I realize he was making the best out of the cards he was dealt. Most conflicts that don't involve pitched battles are largely forgotten. The American Revolution might be well remembered in America. In Western Europe, the middle and later phase of it is largely remembered as "Saratoga, Gibraltar, Fort Bute, Fort Charlotte, Yorktown, oh and America won." Because what happened after Saratoga was largely boring aside from a few large scale engagements. If John Casimir faced off the Cossacks in a large pitched battle after Sweden encouraged them to help them, the Deluge might well be remembered out of the Commonwealth. Outside Poland we might remember it as the day its Army died and it poofed out of existance. Or we might remember it as a glorious Commonwealth victory that gave John Casimir a reprise but he realized he needed to win again, again, and again while one loss spells complete defeat so then he went to a harassment campaign like he did in real life, so history would paly out similarly but with a bit less looting since the Commonwealth would get a breather.

Constitutions were a novelty in 1791. People behind the Polish one were expecting further evolution in the future that would add some additional polish to it with changes and amendments.

There is an interesting story told about the diplomatic meetings with European powers in the capital of the 19th century Ottoman Empire. As a routine, in every meeting, there would be an ottoman official who asks if all the invited foreign envoys were there, and the said envoy would reply affirmatively, like, "Is the French ambassador here?" "Yes, he is". After all the countries were asked, the Turkish official asked if the envoy of Poland was there (Lehistan in Turkish). Nobody would answer until another Turkish official replied "He is on his way to the meeting". Then the meeting would begin, without the Polish envoy, who will never arrive as the country doesn't exist anymore. Ottomans are said to have never accepted the partition of Poland.

And after that we had 2 uprisings that failed, then when ww1 began we had a chance of liberation, our neighbors for the first time stated against each other, finally in 1918 we get our independence, after 123 years but we have to fight, soviet army wants to go to Germany that is weak at the time and then spread the communism around the Europe, Poland stops it in Warsow and takes some of their lands back. Finally we can have a good life in calm Poland. Our culture, science and interactions with other countries explode, we had so many achievements at the time. But 20 years was too little to stop the German army once again in 1939, when Britain and France declare war on Germany, we're so happy, the border with France has no soldier on it, everything fascists have was thrown to Poland, but after a moment of joy, we're told about our place once again, even if France and Britain declared war on Germany, they do nothing and seeing this, Soviet Union attacks. For another 6 long years we vanish from the maps, but we have never surrendered! Many Poles escaped, Polish 303 squadron has the more number of destroyed German's airship in battle of Britain, we fight in Italy and counqer Monte Casino, our friends that heve been sent to Gulag, after German attack on the Soviet Union are send to front once again, and reaches Berlin with Soviet army, many of our ships escape and continue the fight till the end of the war. So what do we get for all that effort? Nothing, even less, we have been sold to Soviet Union. All of our efforts are censored in Britain in US, like that we solved enigma code before Alan Turing, this fact was banned in Britain till 2000's. Poles are the only nation not invited on a massive parade in Britain after war. And for next 45 years we have to fight with communism in our own country. And for what? For being called fascists because of independence march? I'm sorry, which country wouldn't be happy to celebrate it's independence day after 123 years of partitions, 6 years of fighting for being on the map again and 45 years fighting with communism in their own country? Edit: btw Ottoman Empire never accepted partitions of Poland. Whenever World leaders met to negotiate something and someone asked "could we start already?", the ottoman's representative said, "No, we still wait for the representative of the Lechistan (Poland in Turhish)".

Did you release this video today, knowing that on one of polish television channels was airing The Deluge movie? :D Perfect timing, thank you for making these!

I suggest covering the Asian WW2 theatre as that region was pretty interesting and included lots of fronts like china, Burma, and the pacific.

It would b cool the spanish civl war front 1936-1939 plsssss

I recommend the book "The Spanish Civil War" by Hugh Thomas. It goes into how it got to that point and goes into amazing detail about the planned coup and the war itself. Also it has nice photos and illustrations of the front lines

My grandfather was a radio operator in the 23rd infantry regiment of the American army during the Korean War. I've always wanted to know more about where he was deployed to, do you ever intend to do more animated maps of cold war conflicts?

Lol bringing up WW2 comeback by Soviets in background. Job well done! Didnt know much about the wars the Commonwealth had besides the ones against Mother Russia

haha i like how Mr 唐健 had the biggest font size in the video

thank you for these series, i was wondering how non-Lithuanians and non-Polish see those countries at the deluge times

History of cossack uprisings is one of the most ironic stories for me: they fought to gain autonomy, they got their autonomy and then they fought to gain even greater autonomy and thanks to that they were subjugated to Russia...

Look at what they do nowadays. They're like revolting and overthrowing every government they have.

Great Video! May I ask what software you use to create those maps? Thank you very much.

3:28 & 5:01 & 6:11 I laughed IRL =D Snorted many times too! This was a very good video; your style is great, and always super interesting! Nice touch too, with the "POW numbers" little animation, reminding of the WW2 videos :)

One of the few things from my Russian history course- Catherine the Great used her power and (most likely empty) promises to leave the Commonwealth's king confused while partitioning Poland

Well, she didn't wanted to share poland in the first place. Catherine wanted to rule Poland by her russian ambassador. After burning russian stocks with grain for rus->turkish campaign on polish soil by polish nobles, she approved prussian plan for partitioning. And they burnt those stocks because...prussians convinced them to. They promised they military help in pol - rus war. It was more complicated then it looks like. Prussians wanted Gdańsk (Danzig) in the first partition but Catherine didn't gave it to them to not make them to strong. That's what bothers me in this video :P
