But what is ironic, later in 1795 the Turkish Empire was among very few states, which never recognised the Partitions of Poland (when Poland was invaded and divided by Russia, Prussia and Austria). The main reason was that Turkey was in that time against Russia. There is a story that for many years when the diplomatic corps was received by the Turkish Ottoman sultan, there was an empty chair for the Polish deputy and there was always a question repeated in front other diplomats: And were is the deputy from Lechistan (which was the Turkish name of Poland). And also in the 19th century especially, after our uprisings, quite many Polish immigrants went to Turkey (being then a state against Russia). There was even a whole Polish village established there, and even still existing since 1842, called Polonezkoy (Adampol). One can read about it in Internet. So the history is complicated. While Austria, which we protected in 1683, allied with Prussia and Russia, invaded us and took part in Partitions of Poland. That is politics and history.

Very often, the contracts of the mercenaries who were to fight against the Polish army contained a clause that gave them the right to refuse to fight against the winged hussars.

Hussars were powerful but very expensive and only the richest nobles could buy horses and equipment, so their number was always small. The maintenance of the hussars came from the estates of the nobility, and therefore instead of developing the economy and expanding markets or, like the Spanish and Portuguese, conquering new territories, we guarded Europe so that Muslims from the Balkans or Imperial Russia did not invade the world as we know it. Europeans still do not know who saved them from losing everything they now have when Europe was defended from the east for over 200 years. Being a wall of Christianity was glorious, but also devastating for the economy. 230 years of fighting resulted in the disintegration and poverty of the countries, and those who survived began to enter into agreements with neighbors who, instead of showing gratitude, reached for our lands.

The Battle of Vienna in 1683 was one of the greatest and most important battles in Europe's history. We defended Europe, its freedom and civilisation. Just like later we did again in 1920 during the Battle of Warsaw (so-called "Miracle on the Vistula"), when we fought with Russian Red Army of Bolsheviks and defeated them, stopping them from going further into Europe.

You won't find a realistic depiction of a husaria attack anywhere (as for formation and scale). In the movies, they show it as a disorderly rabble... They attacked as a line in an even formation, three or four rows deep, with large spaces between the riders. Gaining speed, they closed the formation and several dozen meters in front of the infantry formation they were already knee to knee. This cannot be done in the video without long-term training of the people and horses. They have been training since childhood. Their morale can be seen in the quote attributed to them: "If the sky were to fall on us, we would support it with our trees (copies)." Their effectiveness was determined by: morale, training, equipment and fighting techniques.Morale wasn't listed first for no reason. If - like at Kircholm - you attack an enemy three times as numerous you must have some balls (note that Dutch and... Scottish mercenaries also fought on the Swedish side). But that's nothing. Everyone is talking about Vienna. Read about the Battle of Hodowo, where 100 hussars and 300 pancernych (lighter cavalry and basically the main type of cavalry in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) forced out of necessity to fight on foot, repelled the attack of 40,000 Tatars. Morale. This is the key to their success.

welp as a pole i can say that winged hussars are to this day rememberd as most elite polish unit they are symbol of honour and brave in poland also the movie is called "Battle of Viena"

@maciekmaj9100

Fun fact is, that one of the Best Polish commanders, Stanisław Żółkiewski, died in Battle between the winged hussars and Ottoman Empire. At his grave there was put an inscription saying "powstanie kiedyś z kości naszych mściciel", which means "The Revenger will rise from my bones one day". The interesting thing is, that Zółkiewski's great grandson was King John III Sobieski, who in 1683 won the Battle of Vienna against Ottomans.

@robertskierski3532

We are ALL HUSSARS in POLAND...STILL.

@robertrobski1013

That time was golden time in Poland that's why probably around 50 to 60 thousands Scottish families immigrated to Poland

Check band Sabaton❤. Some of the shots from this video were from their song Winged Husars. Also 40:1 is a great sing to check. It would be interesting to see your reaction to that song!

@ewamaria8898

The winged hussars are remembered by the Poles, it is an important chapter of our history. It is said that after the battle of Vienna our King, Jan III Sobieski, concluded „we came, we saw and the God won”. It illustrates so well the spirit of the times. Thank you for your videos!

@agnieszka7231

The wings of the Hussars are our national pride. They were unique and elite. excellently trained, brave and honorable. They never gave up on the battlefield. They were also a bit crazy ;) apparently they said that if the sky was falling, they would support him with their lances. The Russians still cannot forgive us the capture of Moscow - the day of the expulsion of Poles from the Kremlin is their national holiday.

There is a book trilogy (also known as The Trilogy) by Henryk Sienkiewicz, which the films - from which you can see some scenes here - were based on: "Ogniem i Mieczem" (With Fire and Sword), "Potop" (The Deluge), and "Pan Wołodyjowski" (Mr. Wołodyjowski).

@Kamil-kv6lv

Hussars were too expensive to keep but horses were still in use. One century after hussars expire poles were elite horsemen of Napoleon army. Battle of Somosierra is worth to notice.

@grimm6952

Polish hussars were not only so effective in defeating the enemy but also in causing confusion, thanks to which they defeated the enemy more easily, they did it using small holes in the wings through which air flowed during the charge, thanks to which they made a sound similar to a whistle that scared the opponent's horses and caused confusion in human troops

@wiktoriapaak1011

uwielbiam tego gościa i jego entuzjazm

@falco3453

Świetna reakcja! Bardzo mi się podoba jak nie tylko słuchasz i reagujesz na naszą historię, ale w jaki sposób! Zatrzymując się przy każdym detalu, który był niespodziewany/niesamowity i pokazując swój sposób myślenia i tego jak zadziwiające jest to dla ciebie, idealnie łączysz "rozrywkę" dla widzów, z odpowiednią reakcją na wydarzenia historyczne :). Dzięki wielkie za ten film! Super, jak zawsze.
