Yes, we were cut on 2 (between Germany/Prussia and Russia) and later on 3 (those 2 before + Austria-Hungary). Germans and Russians tried hard to get rid of everything what is from Polish culture and heritage. Polish people were looking for help in Napoleon Bonaparte's person. Finaly, we got our country officialy back with end of I World War.
Amazing reaction! Thank you The first part of the 19th century wasn't about organic work. The man playing the piano was Chopin and the writer was the most important Polish poet - Adam Mickiewicz. It was time when the artists and uprisiners had to ran away mostly to France. ,,Healing hearts" and giving hope was a big part of Polish literature back then. People born in the 4th dacade of 19th century were those who started the positivism time in Poland and organic work was part of their plan. Almost forgot about congrats for doing this amazing research for the video. Keep going!
True. Mieszko I was first historical ruler of Poland, but he was prince of Poland. He united many tribes, by word or sword (he continued his father and grandfather politic propably). But he got no king crown. His son, Bolesław Chrobry (Chrobry is archaic Odważny, Dzielny, the Brave) got it, short before own death in 1025 AD. Also, Mieszko bring christianity. There was no chance in middleaged Europe to be accepted as a European, civilised country and not being some kind of christianity. But officialy christianity touched only elites. Simple people stayed politeistic even if there was no right to pagan temples anymore. It took time to wipe out old believes (some still survived in folk village traditions, mixing christianity and old believes). Also, the fragment with a lot of battles with knights in white, with black cross on cloaks: one of dukes in Poland, Kazimierz Mazowiecki, rulling in eastern part of Poland had problems with pagan Balt tribes close to his borders. They were raiding his lands for cows and resources. So he got an idea he will bring to Poland, here the Teutonic Knights Order, bored after cruciades, to get rid of that "pagan bugs". And this started some next hundreds of years battling with Teutons, who were agresive not only for pagan tribes. Even when 1410 at fields of Grunwald/Tanenberg was huge Polish-Lituanian win against Teutonics, it wasn't pure end of problems.
Aww, sorry! I know You are. I wrote it more to Vigo's Dad or other people who may not be native Polish, just as extention of Your message. :) For us it's obvious and strong basics from school why Mieszko wasn't king and what is all about, I know. :)

Also, an interesting fact, the true beginning of WWII was marked by the Third Reich bombing the radio station in Gliwice (now Poland, then Germany) to make Poland look like the aggressor and initiate Blitzkrieg :)

1700-1800 I don't think he's throwing coins at people, these are probably bits of bread😉 I think this a representation of so called "Polska pańszczyźniana" which was abolished in the 19th century. Please type the entry "Serfdom in Poland" in Wikipedia, this would give you some insight.🙂 PS. Those could be coins as well, if it's representation of "pańszczyzna"...🤔
Gość rzucający monety to zapewne reprezentacja polskiej magnaterii (magnaci) czyli bardzo bogatej szlachty która często brała biednych szlachciców na utrzymanie w zamian za "szable" - każdy szlachcic niezależnie od bogactwa miał równy sobie głos, więc taki magnat który utrzymywał gospodarczo 500 biednych szlachciców miał siłę 500 dodatkowych głosów :)

"For the King of Saxony, eat, drink and let go of your belt" is a noble proverb praising the carefree and prosperity of the times when the kings of the Saxon Wettin dynasty (1697-1763) reigned in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth big guy throwing coins - prosperity in Poland, )
You should really look into Unconquered - it's a similar and i would say an even better animation. With narration by Sean Bean - don't worry he somewhat unconventionally survives it.
In 1000 was symbolic one, from Otto III, young but powerful emperor of Germany. He put his crown on Bolesław's head, during emperor's pilgrimage to Gniezno, to grave of saint Wojciech/Adalbert. But propably it was more the symbol of friendship between those 2 rulers, not real king coronation. The real/official one was in 1025.
You missed the Teutonic Knights in 1300-1400. They were the ones we won the Battle of Grunwald against. As well as the Battle of Warsaw in 1920, also called "Miracle by Wisła". It's called one of the most important battles in history, since it stopped communist Russia form going further West. But generally speaking, it's a great video and you shouldn't be sorry for the research. It's tiring to see videos of people watching this and knowing nothing about what is happening. So, yeah. I'm glad :) You may also enjoy the videos with the shorter version that goes with lektor, who tells you the story though there are English subtitles. Here are the links: 1. From reagaining Lwów to WWII: ua-cam.com/video/13Nn_2sAnR4/v-deo.html 2. From WWII to the fall of Iron Curtain: ua-cam.com/video/M7MSG4Q-4as/v-deo.html I hope you'll enjoy them! :)
I'm new on your channel... But I have to say, I love your attempts to speak Polish. In this sea of attention whores, you are doing something cute, true and it is even interesting! We need more people to be like you.
2:13 A small correction: Mieszko I was the first Polish prince and lived from 945 to 992. The film shows the coronation of his son Boleslaw I as the first King of Poland.
Hi, I just wanted to say that that was not crowning of Mieszko I, it was Bolesław Chrobry who got crowned to be a king of Poland in 1000 r. He got crowned by Otton III. Sorry to be a prick, really. . But anyway it is a very cool video, and it's awesome that you're talking about it. If I notice anything else that is not entirely correct I'll edit my comment
@@VigosDad It's also good to point that Mieszko I was never crowned to be a king. He was the first sovereign (officially known), but his son, Bolesław Chrobry was the first king
@@kandarayun yeah but the symbolic crowning took place during Zjazd Gnieźnieński when Otto III put his crown on Bolesław's head. However you're right that the official crowning took place in 1025
I apreciate an effort that you put into this and will to learn about our history. I can see you were stressed out a bit - hard topic:) I believe you are not fully satisfied with final result of this video, but don't give up. I would like to see something similar about Dominikan Republic. Interview with your family member or friend could be great too. You can be awersome ambassador of your motherland i believe.
You have rights, this animation is good, but much better is "Unconquared", about Polish history made by Polish Memory Institut. It's only since WW II, but mamy more precisious.
I will have yo do a reaction video of that one too in the future :) thanks for letting me know. what happened in Poland after WWII Is very interesting and relevant!
It was the second world war that polish pilates had a significant impact :) Also, when you mention the underground army, I'm not sure if you're referring to Powstanie warszawskie or not, I seem to recall the video you mentioned, that was also during WWII not WWI :)
Finally what I've been waiting for. Great reaction, but I don't know if it wouldn't have been even better without getting ready. However, this animation is complicated so I can understand why you prepared. The next reaction I would like to see on IPN Unconquered or Sabaton-Uprising and 40:1.
But remember the reaction to Sabaton has to be necessarily from the woodstock festival and not the official music videos. There is a huge difference between this and this. :)
Yeah there's so much happening and I know so little about Polish history that it would have been me just looking at the cool graphics. I also wanted to let my non-Polish subscriber know what was happening a little bit. Thanks for the recommendation, will put it on the list!
@@VigosDad Yes Vigo - IPN Unconquered, Sabaton Uprising and 40:1 (best with woodstock 2012) Sabaton - Winged Hussars (Subtitles) and A new animated video "Life in German-Occupied Poland | Animated History" probably made by the United States, censored version on YT. Link to the version without censorship is given under the video. I also recommend IPN Tobie Ojczyzno CICHOCIEMNI English subtitles and Bitwa Warszwska 1920 - 18. przełomowa bitwa w historii świata. + song Czas honoru: Powstanie”: „Dziewczyna z granatem
Poland is fed up with relying on allies who, in the end, will turn away from us ... That's why I am proud that the Polish government pumps a sea of money to the best military equipment and recruits the largest army in Europe
Scena ze szlachcicem rzucającym pieniądze odnosi się do chłopa pańszczyźnianego. Bo to niby nie było w Polsce niewolnictwa, tylko CZYM był chłop pańszczyźniany, całkowicie poddany jednemu panu, pozbawiony wszelkich praw? Niestety wielu Polaków nie chce nawet dzś wziąć tego na klatę i nazwać rzeczy po imieniu.
7:27 its Schleswig-Holstein ship. That one officially attack Poland. I've even meet one of Westerplatte soldiers, and hear all story. His name was Ignacy Skowron. I have just one km to his grave. R. I. P.
A. D. 1000 - zjazd gnieźnieński. Emperor Otto III, ruler of German Holy Roman Empire made a pilgrimage to st. Wojciech tomb, one of first martyr of christianity in our country. During this event Otto III symbolically crowned polish prince Bolesław with his tiara, thus recognize him as a ally of german nation. Bolesław was officialy crowned 25 years later, as the very first of polish kings. Unfortunately the same year he died. Mieszko I was the first historically aknowledged ruler of Poland, a prince who declared christianization of Poland beginning from the year 966.
You are asking about the coins... In XVIII century Polish "szlachta/nobility" was disguasting rich. People were very poor, and they lived in slave conditions. IT was one reason from few why Poland was very weak in this times.
1918 was the Polish Soviet War, which Poland won. The insanity of World War I, with the Russian Empire collapsed, followed by the defeat of the German and Austrian empires, led to the rebirth of the Polish Republic. My great grandparents left Poland during the Partition. Great grandpap lived where the Russians ruled. My grandmother's parents were from around Krakow.
1700-1800 bad era of nobility... They were having lands where peasants was working just for food, and nobility were getting rich. Second thing which is not shown is rule of "Liberum Veto". That means when a group of nobleman wanted to implement any laws, JUST ONE of them could say "Liberum Veto", which in simple translation means "i do not agree" and the laws will BE REJECTED.
Try to find sth about Arkady Fidler and his book "Dywizjon 303". I know it only in Polish language, but if you try to find out about polish pilots who fought against Germans forces over the UK you will suprised. I remember, Mr Churchll said sth about Polish pilots who was taken place in the WWII. Greetings from Poland
3:12 funny thing... see that building to the right? The big gaping door? There is a McDonald's there now xD 5:25 looks like Jan III Sobieski tbh, in his late late years. 8:04 yes, you're reffering to "Dywizjon 303". WWII. You know a lot but i gotta say, there are sooo many more details you missed. Like this naval ship firing. That's schleswig holstein and it's infamous 1st salvo at the free city-state of Gdańsk. The ship came to the shoreline pretending to be on some diplomatic mission or some other n a-zi BS. THIS was the de facto start of the WWII.
Mieszko was a prince he converted Poland to christianity but havnt been crowned it was his son Boleslaw Chrobry who was first king of Poland.. few mistakes in story..and its important to say that Oświecim Auschwitz was created by Germans during war for primary Polish,but they started with Jewish,Russians,Romanians and soldiers captured during war..on other side Stalin, Russia created Gulags on Siberia, many died.. they also murder many polish high officers in Katyn , Miednoje...and many other in Poland, whose graves are not found yet..
I know this movie and i HATE it because it's super-chaotic. That's basically History of Poland movie for people who already know history of Poland. I prefer this one. This one is in similar aesthetic style, but at least has some minimal educational value. You can understand what's going on: ua-cam.com/video/Q88AkN1hNYM/v-deo.html
5:25 - I think this guy is just meant to be a representative of Polish nobility, especially the wealthiest ones, from 18th century. Opulent, complacent, thinking themselves kings of the world, defying and rebelling against any kind of political, judiciary or economic reforms, because they might take some of their privileges away.
I think you have rights, this guy is member of the smallest and the most powerful socjalgroup in Poland history, it's call Magnateria. Thanks to them money they controle most od Poland politics. Unfortunetly they did't though about country and took care only about they own busness. Many od them was corupted by Rusia and Prusy.
Mieszko was a prince, but his son-Bolesław Krzywousty was the first to get crown from Rome due to objections from german kings, who had power at this time
Guy on the pic and guy tossing coins to the peasants(chłopów) is no one specified, i guese its symbols of those days noblemans(szlachta). Manor house, tosing coins was profligacy, they spent the money they earned from exploiting the peasants in serfdom(pańszczyzna). The sad thing is that their ignorace of changes in Europe(ex. agriculture, social reforms) and their greed for privileges along with "quality" of our last king was begining of the end of Poland.
You've made a few mistakes there but no problem: These three dates where you say that Poland is booming out is quite an oposite because the Poland was erased from maps for 123 years up to 1918 when after WWI we finally were back after being devided by three nations: Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary. Those were very dark times for Poles (There were few rebelions - trying to get back the independence but they failed) If you want you can try to read "Syzyfowe prace" in whatever language you want. It will give you a lot of information about these times. The Polish Underground State was created in WWII. Very nice of you trying to explain it :) PS Polish pilots played crutial role during the battle for England during WWII (the 303 division)
5:26 It's no one in particular but the style is called "Sarmatian Dress". Sarmatians being a romanticized horse people like the Scythians that the polish nobles would claim descent from. So it had a very 'eastern' or asian/Turk style of clothing and facial hair. Much different from contemporary European style wearing hosiery and big powdered wigs in that same era. The only person it 'might' look like is Pan Zagloba from Potop, the book and movies.
Imagine that still people from Western Europe think that there is poverty and communist backwardness in Poland, I am proud of my country and the fact that I am a Pole and we will deal with this government today as it used to be before :)
i don't know if somebody mention this, but guys throwing a coins, was mention to a poor uprising i think. We had a moment in our history when poor people were fighting against rich. This was awful. Cutting riches in half with a saw, dress up rich kids with a strwa and then burn them. It was all about killing the riches, i don't say it was ok or not ok but it was brutal as well.

@E.K. 1025
Ależ mnie rozśmieszyłeś na końcu 😂Faktycznie oglądam Twoje filmiki,lubię je bardzo,ale ...nie zaskrubowałam Twojego kanału 🤷 Ok, teraz to zrobię - dla Ciebie 😊 a co do filmu...Akcja rzeczywiście szybko się toczy,dzięki ,że zauważyłeś pominięcie kobiet w rozwoju naszej Ojczyzny i ...jestem bardzo dumna,że jestem Polką 🇵🇱❤️ Bardziej koncentruje się na tym co w niej piękne niż trudne😊co nie znaczy,że nie widzę słabości .. Pozdrawiam Cię ciepło. I Twoją żonę,która zrobiła super sprawę poznając Cię z Polską 👏👏👏
Also, an interesting fact, the true beginning of WWII was marked by the Third Reich bombing the radio station in Gliwice (now Poland, then Germany) to make Poland look like the aggressor and initiate Blitzkrieg :)
Bardzo podziwiam Cię i szanuje za to, że dużo mówisz o Polsce, lubisz jego mieszkańców, tradycje, dziękuję i serdecznie pozdrawiam również żonę, która, jak wnoszę wiele cegiełek dołożyła do Twojej fascynacji tym krajem, to cudowne, że są ludzie waszego pokroju
1700-1800 I don't think he's throwing coins at people, these are probably bits of bread😉 I think this a representation of so called "Polska pańszczyźniana" which was abolished in the 19th century. Please type the entry "Serfdom in Poland" in Wikipedia, this would give you some insight.🙂 PS. Those could be coins as well, if it's representation of "pańszczyzna"...🤔
Gość rzucający monety to zapewne reprezentacja polskiej magnaterii (magnaci) czyli bardzo bogatej szlachty która często brała biednych szlachciców na utrzymanie w zamian za "szable" - każdy szlachcic niezależnie od bogactwa miał równy sobie głos, więc taki magnat który utrzymywał gospodarczo 500 biednych szlachciców miał siłę 500 dodatkowych głosów :)
Have to be it , nie wiem czego bym nie pomyslal wczesniej
Dziękuję. Gołota mi nie przyszła do głowy, bardziej myślałem o chłopach.

To powiedzenie z ironią. Wojna na północy, państwo marionetkowe, a szlachta żre zamiast reformować kraj.
You should really look into Unconquered - it's a similar and i would say an even better animation.
With narration by Sean Bean - don't worry he somewhat unconventionally survives it.
First king of poland was been Chrobry, Mieszko was been only lord. So first poland coronation was been in 1000.
In 1000 was symbolic one, from Otto III, young but powerful emperor of Germany. He put his crown on Bolesław's head, during emperor's pilgrimage to Gniezno, to grave of saint Wojciech/Adalbert. But propably it was more the symbol of friendship between those 2 rulers, not real king coronation. The real/official one was in 1025.
All we nees to do is change governement.
Government is always terrible. No matter who is rulling in that moment. ;)
@@aaergplay6022 that's a fact lol
Poland and Britain should see each other as family with our shared history
Gracias por compartir, excelente video 🇵🇱😍
You missed the Teutonic Knights in 1300-1400. They were the ones we won the Battle of Grunwald against. As well as the Battle of Warsaw in 1920, also called "Miracle by Wisła". It's called one of the most important battles in history, since it stopped communist Russia form going further West.
But generally speaking, it's a great video and you shouldn't be sorry for the research. It's tiring to see videos of people watching this and knowing nothing about what is happening. So, yeah. I'm glad :)
You may also enjoy the videos with the shorter version that goes with lektor, who tells you the story though there are English subtitles. Here are the links:

2. From WWII to the fall of Iron Curtain: ua-cam.com/video/M7MSG4Q-4as/v-deo.html
I hope you'll enjoy them! :)
I'm new on your channel... But I have to say, I love your attempts to speak Polish. In this sea of attention whores, you are doing something cute, true and it is even interesting! We need more people to be like you.
2:13 A small correction: Mieszko I was the first Polish prince and lived from 945 to 992. The film shows the coronation of his son Boleslaw I as the first King of Poland.
So Mieszko I was a prince and the actual first king was Boleslaw Chrobry coronated in 1025 :)
go to Gdansk ... wonderful
Ten pan co rzucał pieniędzmi to szlachta, która rządziła wtedy krajem i chłopi dla nich pracowali
Rzucanie kasa to ma byc pokazanie ze mieli wyjebane
Amazing explanation, I just shared with friends
Hi, I just wanted to say that that was not crowning of Mieszko I, it was Bolesław Chrobry who got crowned to be a king of Poland in 1000 r. He got crowned by Otton III. Sorry to be a prick, really. . But anyway it is a very cool video, and it's awesome that you're talking about it. If I notice anything else that is not entirely correct I'll edit my comment
excellent, thank you for the correction. Please let me know if I made more mistakes, it's important to tell it like it is! :)
@@VigosDad It's also good to point that Mieszko I was never crowned to be a king. He was the first sovereign (officially known), but his son, Bolesław Chrobry was the first king
Bolesław crowning in 1025, no 1000.
@@kandarayun yeah but the symbolic crowning took place during Zjazd Gnieźnieński when Otto III put his crown on Bolesław's head. However you're right that the official crowning took place in 1025
I apreciate an effort that you put into this and will to learn about our history. I can see you were stressed out a bit - hard topic:) I believe you are not fully satisfied with final result of this video, but don't give up.
I would like to see something similar about Dominikan Republic. Interview with your family member or friend could be great too. You can be awersome ambassador of your motherland i believe.
Ziomek, Ty znasz lepiej historię Polski niż nasi ludzie. Zastanawiałeś się nad obywatelstwem? Zasługujesz. Sorry ;)
You have rights, this animation is good, but much better is "Unconquared", about Polish history made by Polish Memory Institut. It's only since WW II, but mamy more precisious.
I will have yo do a reaction video of that one too in the future :) thanks for letting me know. what happened in Poland after WWII Is very interesting and relevant!
you know Polish history better than I do 😂
It was the second world war that polish pilates had a significant impact :)
Also, when you mention the underground army, I'm not sure if you're referring to Powstanie warszawskie or not, I seem to recall the video you mentioned, that was also during WWII not WWI :)
Finally what I've been waiting for. Great reaction, but I don't know if it wouldn't have been even better without getting ready. However, this animation is complicated so I can understand why you prepared. The next reaction I would like to see on IPN Unconquered or Sabaton-Uprising and 40:1.
Oh yeah that would be so cool
But remember the reaction to Sabaton has to be necessarily from the woodstock festival and not the official music videos. There is a huge difference between this and this. :)
@@vaultboymaker6579 the one with huge Polish flag 😍
Yeah there's so much happening and I know so little about Polish history that it would have been me just looking at the cool graphics. I also wanted to let my non-Polish subscriber know what was happening a little bit.
Thanks for the recommendation, will put it on the list!
@@VigosDad Yes Vigo - IPN Unconquered, Sabaton Uprising and 40:1 (best with woodstock 2012) Sabaton - Winged Hussars (Subtitles) and A new animated video "Life in German-Occupied Poland | Animated History" probably made by the United States, censored version on YT. Link to the version without censorship is given under the video. I also recommend IPN Tobie Ojczyzno CICHOCIEMNI English subtitles and Bitwa Warszwska 1920 - 18. przełomowa bitwa w historii świata. + song Czas honoru: Powstanie”: „Dziewczyna z granatem

you really dont want to watch the polish tv Witcher series/movie it is absolutly horrendous. But it can be so bad its good at some parts.
MONTECASINO
Poland is fed up with relying on allies who, in the end, will turn away from us ... That's why I am proud that the Polish government pumps a sea of money to the best military equipment and recruits the largest army in Europe
Our history is full of both pride and pain. Thank you for sharing your feelings about it.
1364 - the cration of Akademia Krakowska which later became the Jagiellonian University.
not pagan, but Slavic... sadly Christian killed our identity... but we were luckier than Americans and the rest of the world anyway
This coming from folks who decapitate. Like 1400 year's of decapitation. Until Copernicus
Scena ze szlachcicem rzucającym pieniądze odnosi się do chłopa pańszczyźnianego. Bo to niby nie było w Polsce niewolnictwa, tylko CZYM był chłop pańszczyźniany, całkowicie poddany jednemu panu, pozbawiony wszelkich praw? Niestety wielu Polaków nie chce nawet dzś wziąć tego na klatę i nazwać rzeczy po imieniu.
dywizjon 303 polish pilots word war II
hello :-)
1806 Short-lived polish independence due to Napoleon (Bonaparte)
1939 Invasion of Gdansk, starting WW2
Ok but lets make it clear.
Mieszko wasn't King of Poland, he was prince. The first King of Poland was his son, Bolesław I Chrobry.
Acualy Miszko 1 wasn't a King the first King of Poland is Bolesław Chrobry who was crowned in 1025
7:27 its Schleswig-Holstein ship. That one officially attack Poland. I've even meet one of Westerplatte soldiers, and hear all story. His name was Ignacy Skowron. I have just one km to his grave. R. I. P.
7:44: It was second World War. Exploits of the 303rd Fighter Squadron are something of a point of national pride for us.
Christianization of Poland is a "born" of Poland like a nation, also Mieszko I, wasn't a king. First king was Bolesław Chrobry.
Pozdrowienia dla karoliny😘❤️
A. D. 1000 - zjazd gnieźnieński.
Emperor Otto III, ruler of German Holy Roman Empire made a pilgrimage to st. Wojciech tomb, one of first martyr of christianity in our country. During this event Otto III symbolically crowned polish prince Bolesław with his tiara, thus recognize him as a ally of german nation. Bolesław was officialy crowned 25 years later, as the very first of polish kings. Unfortunately the same year he died.
Mieszko I was the first historically aknowledged ruler of Poland, a prince who declared christianization of Poland beginning from the year 966.
You are asking about the coins... In XVIII century Polish "szlachta/nobility" was disguasting rich. People were very poor, and they lived in slave conditions. IT was one reason from few why Poland was very weak in this times.
1918 was the Polish Soviet War, which Poland won.
The insanity of World War I, with the Russian Empire collapsed, followed by the defeat of the German and Austrian empires, led to the rebirth of the Polish Republic.
My great grandparents left Poland during the Partition.
Great grandpap lived where the Russians ruled. My grandmother's parents were from around Krakow.
You should see "Niezwyciężeni". History of Poland in World War II
1700-1800 bad era of nobility... They were having lands where peasants was working just for food, and nobility were getting rich.
Second thing which is not shown is rule of "Liberum Veto". That means when a group of nobleman wanted to implement any laws, JUST ONE of them could say "Liberum Veto", which in simple translation means "i do not agree" and the laws will BE REJECTED.
Try to find sth about Arkady Fidler and his book "Dywizjon 303". I know it only in Polish language, but if you try to find out about polish pilots who fought against Germans forces over the UK you will suprised. I remember, Mr Churchll said sth about Polish pilots who was taken place in the WWII. Greetings from Poland
3:12 funny thing... see that building to the right? The big gaping door? There is a McDonald's there now xD
5:25 looks like Jan III Sobieski tbh, in his late late years.
8:04 yes, you're reffering to "Dywizjon 303". WWII.
You know a lot but i gotta say, there are sooo many more details you missed. Like this naval ship firing. That's schleswig holstein and it's infamous 1st salvo at the free city-state of Gdańsk. The ship came to the shoreline pretending to be on some diplomatic mission or some other n a-zi BS. THIS was the de facto start of the WWII.
5:33 It was the nobility (the more important and richer part of society) because of their bad decisions and Poland was weakened😤😤😤
Mieszko was a prince he converted Poland to christianity but havnt been crowned it was his son Boleslaw Chrobry who was first king of Poland.. few mistakes in story..and its important to say that Oświecim Auschwitz was created by Germans during war for primary Polish,but they started with Jewish,Russians,Romanians and soldiers captured during war..on other side Stalin, Russia created Gulags on Siberia, many died.. they also murder many polish high officers in Katyn , Miednoje...and many other in Poland, whose graves are not found yet..
I know this movie and i HATE it because it's super-chaotic. That's basically History of Poland movie for people who already know history of Poland.
I prefer this one. This one is in similar aesthetic style, but at least has some minimal educational value. You can understand what's going on:
ua-cam.com/video/Q88AkN1hNYM/v-deo.html
5:25 - I think this guy is just meant to be a representative of Polish nobility, especially the wealthiest ones, from 18th century. Opulent, complacent, thinking themselves kings of the world, defying and rebelling against any kind of political, judiciary or economic reforms, because they might take some of their privileges away.
I think you have rights, this guy is member of the smallest and the most powerful socjalgroup in Poland history, it's call Magnateria. Thanks to them money they controle most od Poland politics. Unfortunetly they did't though about country and took care only about they own busness. Many od them was corupted by Rusia and Prusy.
Mieszko was a prince, but his son-Bolesław Krzywousty was the first to get crown from Rome due to objections from german kings, who had power at this time
Guy on the pic and guy tossing coins to the peasants(chłopów) is no one specified, i guese its symbols of those days noblemans(szlachta). Manor house, tosing coins was profligacy, they spent the money they earned from exploiting the peasants in serfdom(pańszczyzna). The sad thing is that their ignorace of changes in Europe(ex. agriculture, social reforms) and their greed for privileges along with "quality" of our last king was begining of the end of Poland.
You've made a few mistakes there but no problem:
These three dates where you say that Poland is booming out is quite an oposite because the Poland was erased from maps for 123 years up to 1918 when after WWI we finally were back after being devided by three nations: Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary. Those were very dark times for Poles (There were few rebelions - trying to get back the independence but they failed) If you want you can try to read "Syzyfowe prace" in whatever language you want. It will give you a lot of information about these times. The Polish Underground State was created in WWII. Very nice of you trying to explain it :)
PS
Polish pilots played crutial role during the battle for England during WWII (the 303 division)
I think unconquered animation is also good🙂
Mieszko i wasn't a king. He was only a prince
I thinking he is a duke not prince
Mieszko 1 was a prince of Poland, not a king. The first king of Poland was his son: Bolesław Chrobry
2:12 Mieszko I was first ruler of Poland, buy he was olny a duke, his son was our first king
5:26 It's no one in particular but the style is called "Sarmatian Dress". Sarmatians being a romanticized horse people like the Scythians that the polish nobles would claim descent from. So it had a very 'eastern' or asian/Turk style of clothing and facial hair. Much different from contemporary European style wearing hosiery and big powdered wigs in that same era. The only person it 'might' look like is Pan Zagloba from Potop, the book and movies.
I saw 5 videos for the polish independence aniversary they are amazing. The best is invencible .something like this . sorry
Imagine that still people from Western Europe think that there is poverty and communist backwardness in Poland, I am proud of my country and the fact that I am a Pole and we will deal with this government today as it used to be before :)
i don't know if somebody mention this, but guys throwing a coins, was mention to a poor uprising i think. We had a moment in our history when poor people were fighting against rich. This was awful. Cutting riches in half with a saw, dress up rich kids with a strwa and then burn them. It was all about killing the riches, i don't say it was ok or not ok but it was brutal as well.
Polish pilots and Poles also took monte casino as well decoding enigma pretty huge deal for super weak country after 123y of occupations
The guy throwing coins is probably Janosik.
