British and French were not a reliable ally for Poland. They did not send any help at the beginning of the war, took money, took breakthroughs - like the mentioned Enigma algorithm, billed the Polish government for defending Britain, and then threw Poland to Stalin and decades of communism.

Correction. Jadwiga was not a queen, she was a king. This is because in medieval Poland, unlike other countries where the queen is basically a female king, the title only referred to the consort of the ruling monarch, and thus held very little power. As by the time of Jadwiga's life there was no male succesor to the Polish throne, she was crowned as king so she could effectively govern the .country

Poland is such a large symbol to me for pride of culture and preserverence. It's admirable how much desire these people had to be their own independent state. I'm from Brabant, the Dutch state has made quite an effort to erase our culture after annexation and has written our painful history out of the books as it's not important enough to teach. I wish more people would be aware of it. Maybe we don't have to be a break away state, neither do I ever expect us to be reunited with the Brabants in Belgium (although for many of us, going north is more of a foreign experience as crossing the border to Belgium), but I wish people here, like the Poles, would take more pride in the remains of their culture and learn about our ancestry. Our education system may not provide it, but we can teach ourselves. Who knows it may lead to more equal representation in politics and whatever. I'm eternally grateful for the selfless act of the Poles to liberate our province, the town I was raised in all my life, together with the Scottish. I can't imagine having your own country completely be torn down, for them to risk their lives to give us the freedom we now experience. We then got to grow whilst Poland after liberation was still stuck under the Soviet influence. I visit Poland a lot, I go by car, visiting the big cities to little towns, my extended family lives there, it's a beautiful country, super hospitable if you show you make an attempt to learn about their history. You can see the people went through a lot, but it's crazy to see how rapidly the country grows, it has a lot of potential. I try to advocate a ton for my friends and family to visit the country during a holiday or whatever, they always come back excited with many fun stories. Ofcourse there's some problematic stuff going on there as well, but don't we all suffer from these things in the end anyways? I hope Poland is here to stay unimpaired and now gets the liberty to grow and establish itself as a country.

"Nation-building" in the 19th century meant a small elite forcing their customs and culture on the general populace. In the mid-18th century only 12% of France's population spoke "French". By the mid-19th century, over half did. By the mid-20th century, local dialects were dying. And now they are all but dead. Unfortunately most people don't know this because educational systems are controlled by the same elite class that engaged in this historic cultural erasure.

Fun fact: if you split the European continent in half, Poland would be split into both eastern and western parts, but the western part would be larger than the eastern part, so only these 3 statements are true: - Poland is in Central Europe - Poland is in both Eastern and Western Europe (if you split Europe in 2 parts - western and eastern) - Poland is more western than eastern (i.e. more territory is in western part than in eastern) And if anyone comes here saying it's about the Cold War, Warsaw Pact vs. NATO etc., it was only 45 years out of a millenium of Polish history and it ended over 30 yrs ago.

4:23 KING. Polish KING Jadwiga. The tile of "Queen" in Poland at the time meant "King's wife" not "Female ruler" so, because she was the actual "Ruler of Poland" and not just "important dudes wife", she was crowned as a King, not a Queen. Same thing happened with her sister- Mary the King of Hungary. "Jadwiga was crowned "king" in Poland's capital, Kraków, on 16 October 1384." "Having no male siblings, Mary was crowned "king" of Hungary on 17 September 1382, seven days after Louis the Great's death.

[@michamarkowski2204]

Exactly. Back in the 14th century official documents in Poland were written in Latin. In those documents Jadwiga was crowned as Rex (king), not Regina (queen). While it's true she signed some letters as Regina (queen), her official title was Rex (king). Fun fact: not much later we had another female king (i.e. crowned as Rex, not Regina) of Poland.

King was gender neutral, only recently there has been such a razor focus on gender centered monikers. I guess the dude is poisoned by Lingua Franca of the world so he does not understand that things can be neutral, there is only "right" and "not right". He also made quite some mistakes regarding the cossacks, like assigning them to ukraine where ukraine was founded first in 1991, a fact which is glaringly overlooked in favor of somehow assigning history to a place that never had any direct history, much like there was no poland before officially estabilishing it in 966.

Maybe you could have mentioned that the Polish government and part of the army retreated through Romania: As many as 120,000 Polish troops withdrew through the Romanian Bridgehead area to neutral Romania and Hungary. Most of those troops joined the newly-formed Polish Armed Forces in the West in France and the United Kingdom during 1939 and 1940. Until Germany attacked the Soviet Union during Operation Barbarossa and the United States joined the war, the Polish Army was one of the largest forces of the Allies.[5] The Romanian government also received the treasury of the National Bank of Poland in 1939. Part of it, consisting of 1,261 crates containing 82,403 kg of gold, was loaded aboard a commercial ship in the port of Constanța and transported to Western Europe. The transport was escorted by ships of the Romanian Navy to prevent its interception by Soviet submarines in the Black Sea. The second part of the treasury was deposited in the National Bank of Romania and was returned to Poland on 17 September 1947

20:50 I would not claim Normandy landing the most infuential contribution of Polish Forces. This title should go to capturing Monte Cassino castle on Italian Front in 1944. This victory was so influential that you will find "Monte Cassino street" in any major city in Poland. You even used a photo of soldiers capturing the castle - the one with the bear. Also honorable mention should go to the 303rd airfoce division in Battle of England.

And here i would object. Roman Czerniawski. In very big "skrót" (i forgot the word). I'm gonna talk about from the start of spying in Germany (you can watch historia bez cenzury "Hitler zrobiony w wała" vid but I dont remember if there are eng sub) he made spy web in germany then one of his guys drunk talked to germans that hes a spy. Czerniawski got captured but germans didn't kill him but offered him a job he took it but decided to be a double spy. With allies he gave non important info to germans. He's work quickly got onto austrian painter desk. He "calibrated" german bombing of uk where he saved towns. D-day. He told yes they would attack the beach but said it was a decoy attack and the main oone will break out far more east. After they captured it Roman said he told the truth but the decoy worked so well that they went with it. Then he evacuated. In conclusion without it most of the world would speak german.

[@Mort7475]

​@@milicaradakovic8098 Polish troops, that formed in the Soviet Union under general Anders and evacuated with many many civilians through Iran, bought Wojtek as a cub. He was a platoon mascot, until some day during artillery bombardment he picked up a crate with ammo and passed it down. He was enrolled as a regular soldier for supplies/food reasons and followed the whole journey of polish 2nd corps. After the war his handler took him to Scotland and he later spent the rest of his days at the zoo. That's not the only bear in the Polish army, there were Baśka Murmanska, polar bear that came with the ex-Russian polish division in 1918 from Arkhangelsk. Very gentle, no ammo-carrying type of bear, but also enlisted as regular soldier for supplies reasons

[@milicaradakovic8098]

There was no castle, but an early medieval abbey in Cassino. And what the Polish soldiers finally captured was rubble, as the enture town had been heavily bombarded by the Allied Forces artillery and airplanes, including that abbey, which was not manned by any German troops by the way. 240,000 Allied troops took part in that battle, not just the 2nd Polish Corps. Also, do not confuse division with a squadron. Division = dywizja; XX; 3-5 regiments or brigades, around 10,000-25,000 men; dywizjon = battalion or squadron; II; in case of air forces usually numbering between 12 to 24 aircraft. RAF 303 was a squadron, not an air division. There are no air divisions in RAF, only groups.

Fun fact. In the 1947 election the Polish Workers Party most likely lost to the democratic opposition. We don't know the exact results, but most likely the Polish Socialist Party would have won. Later in the 50s, the Workers Party decided they would merge with the Socialists (the Socialists didn't know about it) resulting in removal of about 25% of Polish politicians, from... political live (as far as I know most of them lived on, no "window accidents"), creating the Polish United Workers Party and getting rid of their main opposition... for about 5 minutes, after which Polish Socialist Party reformed once again as underground opposition. They were behind most of protests in Poland until Solidarity come into be.

Here in Czechia, commies actually won and social democratic party was kind of their friend ally party, also without them allowing it first, commies didn't ban them completely just to show that there is still "democracy" and you "don't have to" vote commies. 😀 ČSSD was the oldest Czech party, established already during Austria-Hungary and a lot of opposition people during communism were their members or their future members. There were more left wing oriented people ofcourse, more conservative people had Christian party or how to call them (KDU-ČSL) which also somehow existed even during communism. It's sad that ČSSD as the oldest traditional democratic left wing party pretty much died few years ago (I don't vote them, but I still find it sad that we don't have traditional left wing party anymore) and some renamed commies and far right/left wing populists are growing again now. It's even more ridiculous, ČSSD changed offcial name to SOCDEM, but they didn't keep their original shortcut ČSSD protected, so their former leader immediately stole it and created his own ČSSD party, so people who are just used to vote ČSSD for decades and don't watch politics now vote for completely different party and they don't even know that! Czech politics is completely crazy. 😀

I also loled when he said that Warsaw uprising failed because it "didnt gather much foreign support" lmao. I think that it was more due to a) sending heavily underequipped desperate people inc women children and elderly against regular German military was a suicide (technically one of its masterminds claimed that "with the blood of dead polish children and women we will move the hearts of the west and Stalin to support Polish independence" and yes, im serious - dude GENUINELY believed that... from London of course, none of these people were in Warsaw to be apart of it), b) west had absolutely no way of supporting it besides dropping supplies which were usually tsken by Germans since there was no way of dropping it accurately in that chaos, and c) Stalin ordered Red Army to stand down few kilometres from the fighting zone and not help it because... why would he help people directly trying to oppose him lol? Just let them kill as many Germans as they can and then get killed themselvws, two birds with one stone (again, people who actually thought Stalin would welcome "independent Warsaw" with open arms instead of just killing everybody were complete morons, but then people who later though Stalin was gonna help out the rebellion were... just plain reta*ded). The Warsaw Uprising failed because there was literally no way for it to not fail, and for some decisionmakers that was the point. The funny part about what i just said is that although basically every single normal historian knows this, you cant really speak avout it in public because people from left and... well mostly right will genuinely try to assault you because "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK BADLY ABOUT WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO DIED FOR THIS COUNTRY???!!!" Even tho noone said anything bad abojt them, on the contrary, its inspiring how they knew its gonna be a slaughter but decided to fight anyway; its the people who made the decision to do it in London (the polish government abroad) who shouldve been hanged for treason for it, but instead we have streets named after them...

Great video! It's always good to see an outside perspective on our history, but there's one thing that needs to be mentioned. The main point of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 was to establish an independent Polish state that would "greet" the Soviet army (in which Poles were also fighting to liberate Poland) and then help to liberate the rest of Poland. The russians saw this coming and stopped right before Warsaw when the uprising was already underway, under the pretext of "reorganization." In truth, they stopped because they understood the purpose of the uprising and waited for it to fail. The worst part of this is that the Polish soldiers in the Soviet army had to watch as their capital was in flames, unable to do anything about it.
