11:06 - easy, in Polish "King" is job describtion, you rule the country, you are the King. Queen is a person married to a King that is not in power. That's also why Poland had 2 Kings at the time, like when King Jadwiga was still alive and was married to King Władysław Jagiełło, which also ruled Poland with the same power.

Jadwiga was coronated as a sovereign king by archbishop Bodzanta. She was very young at the time, but all Crown documents had her seal on them. She also officially lead a military expedition to the Red Rus. After marrying Jagiełło she retained her sovereign status, and indeed Jagiełło was equal to her technically, but of course the point of the union was to have both monarchs combine -- Jagiełło took the proper official rule, but Jadwiga remained a symbol for Poles, brought them a king to rule with and invested heavily in education with her royal funding.

I agree with everything but not with "you rule the country, you are the king" because there was a time when they had no kings, only dukes. Also if you translate it... "king"="król" and "queen"="królowa", where part "owa" refers to someone's wife so queen in polish means literally king's wife. There was also another reason. When Jadwiga was crowned she already had her "sponsalia de futuro" with Wilhelm of Habsburg so polish nobles came up with an idea to crown her as king so Jadwiga wouldn't have to share her power with anyone in the future but of course plans changed when Jogaila was chosen to be her husband because he was already a ruler of his own country (grand duke of Lithuania).

There are simplifications, but the way of presentation, animations and effort recompense all of it. Awesome video!

Jadwiga was crowned at the age of 10/11 as KING of Poland. Despite being crowned at such young age she never had a regant. She was one of the best rulers in polish history. She TRIPLED size of the kingdom of Poland by dimplomacy, marriage and wars. She was a great diplomat and even her enemies admitted that it was impossible to get more than she decided to give. She was also able to lead war campaigns, like when in 1387 (she was 13 at that time) she conquered Ruthenia. She also spoke in 6 languages. She gave life to the first university in Poland (Casimir the Great started the process of its creation, but Jadwiga finished the work). Sadly she reigned only for 15 years because she died young at the age of 25/26. It's really impressive how much she was able to achieve during those 15 years and it makes you think how much she could do if she lived longer.

@@czmychal What gets me about modern feminism is that they rally against the idea of a “stay at home wife” as if it was some sort of centuries long oppression. The privilege of having only one spouse working was only common since the 1950s and only in middle and upper classes. For most of human history both partners would be working, we didn’t have the luxury of unused labor.

amazing video. Very well explained and animated and I learned many new things. Too bad you're so underrated

Definitely boost of quality with your videos. Great job!

Overall this was a pretty good video. I especially liked the maps and the visual side in general. There were some oversimplifications, but that is unavoidable in such a short video about so much of complex history. However, there were also some clear mistakes: - Bolesław I the Brave was the first ruler officially crowned as the King of Poland, not his father Mieszko I. - The notion that Poland was somehow spared by the Black Death is being increasingly questioned, as an exaggeration at best, if not a complete myth. - Somehow you divided Bohdan Khmelnytsky (Chmielnicki in Polish spelling) into two people (and don't get me started about his name). - Tadeusz Kościuszko is wierdly absent from your reteling of the Kościuszko Uprising. Instead, he seems to be combined with Jakub Jasiński into one person, which is super bizarre. I mean, there is a reason why it's called the Kościuszko Uprising, not the Jasiński Uprising. On the other hand, it's a bit impressive that you mentioned Jasiński at all because he is a bit of an obscure and underappreciated figure even in Poland, but no, he didn't liberate Warsaw and then Krakow. Kościuszko marched from Krakow to Warsaw, while Jasiński simultaneously led the uprising in Wilno (Vilnius) and later died defending Warsaw (technically Praga - Warsaw's suburb in the other bank of Vistula from the main city, that was still officially a separate town at that time). That being said, I'm looking forward to part two.

Note, that she doesn't even mention Janko of Czarnków actually describing the later waves of the Black Death hitting Poland. I also think that the book she was using overstates the Communist supposedly suppressing the research in this field due to ideological reasons. I think it has more to do with people simply confusing the absence of evidence with the evidence of absence and focusing too much on coming up with wacky explanations of the perceived 'facts'. The relative scarcity of sources might also have something to do with the devastations suffered by Polish archives and libraries multiple times, since the Swedish Deluge to WW2.

You said in the video "Yet another man by the name of Khmelnik (?!) would gain power over the Cossacks. This time he would align himself to the Tsar Alexey of Russia". I guess you probably were referring to Bohdan's son, Yuri Khmelnytsky, who kinda became his successor as the head of the Cossack Hetmanate in 1657 but had problems staying in that position. However, the Treaty of Pereyaslav in 1654 was signed by Bohdan Khmelnytsky, who was still alive and leading the insurgents at this point. BTW I also made a mistake in my comment; Praga officially became part of Warsaw in 1791, so before the Battle/Massacre of Praga in 1794, which ended the Kościuszko Uprising prompting Warsaw to surrender, and in which Jakub Jasiński died.

I feel like they barely touched topic of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which is a very interesting part of their history. So basically Poland and Lithuania were united under one crown for over 400 years (for some time it was the biggest coutry in Europe, there was even a period when they had access to 3 seas). First they were in union from 1386 (Union of Krewo) when Jadwiga (female king of Poland) married Jogaila (grand duke of Lithuania), after them the coutries always had one ruler. Then from 1569 (Union of Lublin) they truly became one country known as Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Then in 1795, as a result of the partitions, they disappeared from the maps for over 100 years. Officially they separeted in 1918 when after WW1 they came back as saparate countries. Since then they were under Russian influence, then WW2 happened and they disappeared again, they regained their full freedom from Russia only little over 30 years ago. So you can really say that they shared their history from 1386 (till 1990's), from the wedding that was the most important wedding in history of the Europe to this day.

However, Muscovy history is sewn to the history of Rus' with white threads and is completely falsified. In the bloody swamp of Muscovy slavery, and not in the harsh glory of the Norman era, stands the cradle of Rossia. Changing the names and dates, we see that the policies of Ivan III and the policies of the modern Moscow Empire are not just similar, but identical... Rossia was born and brought up in the disgusting and humiliated school of Mongol slavery. She became strong only because she was unsurpassed in the skill of slavery. Even when Rossia became independent, it continued to remain a country of slaves. Rossia's policy is unchanged. Rossian methods and tactics have changed and will change, but the main goal of Rossian policy - to conquer the world and rule in it - is and will remain unchanged. Moscow pan-Slavism is just one form of conquest. Ps, check out your knowledge ;/)

Mieszko 1 hadn't got a King title. He was a prince. His son Boleslaw was the first polish king

This video while presenting complicated historical depedencies and events include some errors about basic facts: 1. Mieszko I wasn't a king, Polish dukes at the time crowned only 3 times - Bolesław (1025), Mieszko II (1025, but in 1032 had to renounce his crown), Bolesław II (1076) 2. Henry II wasn't a son of Otto III neither. Otto died young without an heir endind peacfull time beetwen Poland and Germany. Henry was his cousin, as they shared the same ancestor - Henry the Fowler (Henry I -> Otto I -> Otto II - > Otto III, Henry -> Henry of Bavaria -> Henry the Quarrelsome -> Henry II) 3. Mieszko II reclaimed throne in 1032, but was forced to share it with his brother Otto, and cousine Dytryk, but in 1033 he rule alone. 4. I have no idea what do you mean by saying that after death of Kasimir the Restorer Poland fragmentated - his son and succesor Bolesław II ruled strong and (probably) centralised country, he was deposed by unhappy nobiles. His brother Władysław, who ruled next was weak ruler, but Poland still wasn't fragmentated - instead the most influential man in Poland was palatine Sieciech. Country was indeed divided at the end of Władysławs live and at the begining of rule of his sons, but that situation lastet for not so many time. Poland was finaly divided after death of Władysławs son - Bolesław III, this time for 2 centuries, not, as you said, after death of Kasimir the Restorer. 5. In 1295 the king who was crowned was Przemysł II - he was the first king since Bolesław II (crowned in 1076). He was kidnapped by Brandenburgians and unfortunately died in 1296. His land was divided and most of them was given to Władysław the Elbow hight. 6. There was only one Khmielnitsky (Chmielnicki) (actually he had sons, but I don't think you are talking about them, as original Chmielnicki allied with Russia in 1654) 7. Poland didn't called for aid of swedes, only one unhappy magnate, Hieronim Radziejowski, asked swedish king to invade Poland and detrhone John Kasimir. 8. When you talking about what places continuet to hold up to forgot to mention the most symbolic and important one (at least for polish people) - Jasna góra monastery. 9. Jasińskis fights was a part of greater upraising - Kościuszko insurection, led by Tadeusz Kościuszko. That are most inacurate parts of video, rest are OK

Ah yes, the first country was founded by Rus, so they called it Rus-sia, the second country was founded by Czech, so they named it Czech-ia, and the third country was founded by Lek, so they named it... Poland

Poland is like a federation of west slavic tribes, Poland’s modern day borders encompasses lands which belonged once to western Slavs once in the past. Also most of it was part of the Kingdom of Poland during Bolesław The bold’s reign. Since Belarus and Ukraine’s citizens don’t want to be part of Poland officially like in the past, Poles nowadays have no problem with “losing” what was considered eastern Poland. It’s a heartbreak for sure and a lot of pain, but it’s possible to get over it. In the past it created more problems then gains, especially after America was discovered and it’s economical/agricultural value lost it’s past appeal. Only Poles who are stuck in the past, not living in the present and lacking a long term plan for the future would say they have a beef with that

See you got like Norway vikings and Italy Romans, Poland history not so interesting. Boring just knights

Polish history is confusing. Full of mystery. And all current information is simply the findings of historians. All countries have a more or less false history that is either taught in schools or not taught at all. Poland was destroyed and plundered by foreign countries. Christianity also left its mark on the Slavic population. And Western countries often ignore, humiliate the Slavs, making them dumber, weaker nations, etc. History is not mathematics, history has been modified for hundreds of years. We can discover, investigate, describe certain things. But I guarantee you that in many cases history is not 100% true science. What is true is difficult to verify, because we do not live in those times and we do not know what is authentic and what is modified. The history of given countries is based on chronicles, but how do we know if the chroniclers did not exaggerate it. History must be approached with great distance. Just look at Russia's approach to history, where Putin modifies it and tries to convince others of its truth. Many people have tried to erase Polish history and we do not know how much truth and how much lies are in the current history. I advise you to remember that.
