No, it is just a question of fresh horses against exhausted ones. The British army is famous for its bad use of cavalry, cf "the charge of the light brigade" in Crimea.
Polish Lancers, along with their famed light horse, were just about the finest and most fearsome cavalry forces on Earth for close to three centuries (middle 1500's till the Battle of Waterloo). The best of the best, and those indomitable Polish mounted warriors provided Napoleon with his most determined, loyal, tenacious, most fearless and most die hard troops, those who would rather perish than surrender. Amazing!!
@@ScottA2345 Yes and no, Cezary mistook a year 1815 for 1806 when Napoleon won a war against Prussia and took over Berlin, while Waterloo took place nine years after in 1815. In 1806 Napoleon was able to easily recreate Poland after it got robbed and partitioned by Prussia, Russia and Austria in 1795. With support of recreated Poland, the largest country of Europe Napoleon needed to fear no one, but instead he hesitated and decided to create an artificial "Duchy of Warsaw" a small state covering just 1/5 of Poland territory, as a result many Poles backed tsar of Russia Alexander I who was more pro Poland than Napoleon. In 1815 it was too late for Napoleon, he regretted his wrong decision in regard to Poland until his death at St Helena island, he called it greatest error of his lifetime.
@@Lechoslaw8546 He hesitated to create a polish state beacuse he didnt want to risk his alliance with Russia. And as everyone can se it was a big error to trust tsar Alexander and russia. To go the Middle road and create a doutchy of warsaw made no one happy. And as everyone now knows Russia were always going to backstab him in the end. The polish proved Napoleons most steadfast and relayable allies and a polish state as a extra buffer between France and Russia would have made him untouchable.
@@napoleon7107 We can see it in a broader perspective. Contrary to a common knowledge Russia was not a sovereign state, but for a long time an undeclared colony, yes a colony, of The Muscovy company based in London. Russia's rulers dependence of British masters date back to middle XVI century when this country got invaded by series of expeditions originated in London, first in 1555, landing in Archangelsk at the White Sea and infiltraiting into Moscow from the north. They were able so subject Russia's rulers to their power and made them docile puppets, who were murdered by their agents in case of disobedience. This subservience of Russia's rulers to their masters in London dated back from Ivan the Terrible until Stalin and was broken for a short time when Russians elected a Polish king's son Władysław as tsar to their throne in 1610, but lasted only 2 years and failed due to a blunder of his father. So, Napoleon should have rather help tsar Alexander liberate himself from dependence from the British web that costed his father Paul death being murdered by British agents and later in 1825 the same fate happened to Alexander. Tsar Paul tried to switch dependence from Britain into alliance with France and recreate large Poland allied with Russia and for that he got assasined, five years after Polish king Stanisław Poniatowski got poisoned in St.Petersburg by British/Prussian agents. .
Marcin Siwy don’t think that Harry represents most of us Brits. I’m British with Belarusian heritage and it’s obvious that he’s bullshitting it all. Respect to Poland, from Britain.
The Polish lancers must have been the most loyal amongst Napoleon's foreign troops. They were disbanded when Napoleon abdicated and was sent to Elba, but one squadron accompanied him to exile. And that squadron kept to his side through to the end.
Polish solders just once say no to Napoleon on Haitii when they were send with French to fight with Haitanians. Polish solders saw this as no fair and not honorable fight so they take said of rebels. Until this day on Haitii is polish decent monitory. They look mixed but they remember.

"Jednak nic nie może się równać z potyczką niedaleko górskiej miejscowości Jevenes w Hiszpanii. Polacy ( - co tu dużo mówić - zaniedbali nieco dyscyplinę i zostali osaczeni przez 8 pułków carabiñeros reales - strzelców królewskich - hiszpańskiej jednostki wyborowej. Skończyło się tragicznie… dla Hiszpanów. Szwadron lansjerów pod dowództwem „dzielnego Kostaneckiego”, jak pisze Woyciechowski, wyrąbał sobie drogę na przestrzał, czym zmusił przeciwnika do ucieczki. Kosztowało to pułk „jedynie” utratę sztandaru - haftowanego, jak na na nieszczęście, przez JÓZEFINĘ, czyli ówczesną małżonkę Napoleona".
To nic. Niech Pan poczyta o bitwie pod Fuengirolą, jak napoleońskie wojska Polaków rozgromiły bohatersko anglielskiego zaborcę w białych rękawiczkach. O tym jak spoili ich angielskiego pułkownika wódką dla śmiechu nie pisząc. Ta bitwa jest upokarzająca dla Anglików w każdym calu. Tak bardzo, że rzadko o niej słychać na całym świecie. Znam historię jak nasi oficerowie, rozkładali na łopatki dosłownie w pojedynkach na szable angielskich. Walką po staropolsku techniką krzyżową. Angielscy bufoni uważali, że ich szermierka najlepsza na świecie, cały ten megalomanizm tych pawi z kagankiem Europy na czele. Ci zakompleksieni głupcy nie potrafili walczyć z Polakami. Ułańska fantazja była na nich jak muchozor na muchy.
Piszesz o obronie klasztoru przez Hiszpanów. To coś jak hiszpańska Częstochowa a Polacy byli w roli szwedzkich zaborców. To historia prawdziwa. Hiszpanie rzeczywiście bronili swojego klasztoru. Z tą różnicą, że pochowali się tam hiszpańscy rebelianci, którzy dopuszczali się bestialskich zbrodni i tortur na jeńcach wojennych i własnych cywilach, którzy przyjmowali Francuzów z Polakami. O zbrodniczym oddziale Hugo Cortenza nie pisząc. Hiszpanie choć nie wszyscy lubili Polaków, zwłaszcza kobiety. Hiszpanie dopuścili się bestialskich i zwyrodniałych tortur z ludobójstwami zarówno na francuskich jak polskich jeńcach i w całej kampanii. Polacy nie przeżyli specjalnego szoku, doświadczeni ludobójczymi okropieństwami zaborców we własnym kraju. Za to Francuzi doznali szoku psychicznego i od tej pory dobry Hiszpan, to był dla nich martwy Hiszpan. Gdy hiszpańscy bandyci zmasakrowali jak ogry polskich jeńców, Polakom zwyczajnie nerwy puściły i odpowiedzieli pięknym za nadobne. Szczególnie po staropolsku wbijając takich złapanych hiszpańskich rzeźmieszków na pale. zdarzało się, że używali swoich lanc w tym celu. Hiszpanie, gdy zobaczyli i poczuli, że Polacy się nie szczypią i zrobią z nimi to samo, albo i gorzej, co oni z ich jeńcami. Przestraszyli się i zaczęli unikać okrucieństw. Nadali Polakom miano piekielnych jeźdźców. Nic innego jak czysta hipokryzja i naburmuszone widzi mi się. Hiszpanie masakrowali polskich jeńców na śmierć w dantejskich torturach, upokarzając psychicznie. Polacy odpowiedzieli tym samym na tych zwyrodnialców. Wnioski, normalnego cywila nie ruszyli. Przydało by się takie samo zachowanie dziś Polaków wobec anty polskich, zbrodniczych ukraińskich heretyków religijnych nawpuszczanych przez CIA i angielskich zaborców w białych rękawiczkach.

Polish ulhans/lanciers were probably the best light cavalry units in 19th century and even onward in 20th (battle od Komarów). Other nations started to copy them during and after Napoleonic Wars. They fought at Somosierra, Wagram, Albuera, Beresina, Leipzig, Hanau, Wateroo, Stoczek, Grochów, Iganie, Custoza, Rokitna, Krechowce, Kaniów, Warszawa, Komarów, Krasnobród.
After Wellington's generals witnessing the Polish lancers,heroic performance's in Spain and Portugal.The British created a Lancer regiment,even copying the trim on the uniforms. It is rumoured that the last French bugle sounding at Waterloo,was that of the Polish lancers.Very effective unit.
No, with all respect, i'ce read dozens of books for waterloo. and the was a small contigent of about 100 poles who took part in the battle. those were either from the island napoleon was first exiled, or poles left in paris after 1814. and they counterattacked the scots-greys as shown in the film. there also some quite fascinating stories regarding that counter-attack.@Roy Beers

Any cavalry Vs heavy cavalry on blown horses totally disorganised in small units mopping up an enemy corps that had been put to flight would have had the same effect especially when supported by Cuirassiers and chassurs
Napoleon's bodyguard, composed of the Polish cavalry, are descendants of the Winged Hussaria, the best military formation in the 16th-17th centuries. The mercenaries, who signed contracts in the 17th century, promised themselves that they would fight against all but not the Polish hussars. The Battle of Kircholm in 1605 in which the Hussars under the command of Hetman Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, The Battle of Little Cannons, taught at the US West Point Military Academy as an example of a cavalry master maneuver. This battle, together with the 5 years later battle of Kluszyn (1610) and the no less legendary commander, Stanisław Żółkiewski, opened the way for Poland to capture Moscow and settle the Russian King as the Tsar of Russia. Tsar Szujski offered obeisances to the Polish King, and Jan Matejko immortalized it in the famous Polish painting - "Homage from Russia". That is why the Russian tsak hate Poland to this day. No less famous unit of cavalry, light cavalry, were the so-called Lisowczyki, it was the Polish SAS, Delta Force, Navy Seals and GROM on horses

The lack of historical and military knowledge in these comments is shocking, waterloo wasn't British vs French, but a European coalition of the German states, Prussians, dutch and belgians against Napoleon, wellington was given overall command, the charge of the British heavy cavalry union brigade comprising 3 regiments, 1000 men, one regiment had battle experience, the other 2 did not, the charge was to disrupt the main French infantry attack, this it did successfully, mainly because the French didn't train to deploy into squares, 5 French infantry divisions were destroyed, over 4000 casualties and 2000 prisoners and 2 eagles captured, 2 British cavalry regiments started to withdraw but one, the least experienced, tried to continue the attack on the French infantry and artillery positions, this led to them becoming cut off from the rest of the brigade, they were then attacked by Bro's 4th lancers which included one squadron of the polish legion, about 225 men, the Scots greys received heavy casualties but managed to withdraw, the heavy cavalry were able to charge a further 5 times that day, the main French infantry assault was stopped.
Thanks Brother. This was not the first time Poles met British, or rather English on battlefield. During 1390-1393 Poles repelled several invasions from England combined with Teutonic Order. One was led by later king of England Henry the Lancaster. As they were not able to overpower Poland directly, they attacked Lithuania, as a weaker link first, here they met Polish knights and warriors who came to assist Lithuania. In a series of bloody battles England and Teutons lost 40 thousand of their own killed and pulled out emptyhanded. +
@@Lechoslaw8546 A link between our two countries, Henry was actually the brother of the portuguese queen Philippa of Lancaster, and his father John of Gaunt played a crucial role on the portuguese crisis of 1383-85 which culminated in the victory of the anglo-portuguese army over the franco-castilian army at the battle of Aljubarrota, another major defeat of the french cavalry following Poitiers and Crecy.
@@heldercosta515 -Thanks for an interesting remark. Henry IVth the Lancaster shows up as a very immoral person, a criminal and a puppet of London financiers, ready to commit any crime in order to gain the trone. He was involved in arrest and subsequent murder by starvation of his cousin and childhood playmate Richard II, who was a king of England. He participated in two invasions, by some called crusades, against Lithuania. First in 1390 and second 1392-1394, the second lasted two years. Both of them failed. The true purpose of these crusades were to colonize vast land of Lithuania, then largest country of Europe, as it encompassed present Lithuania, part of Latvia, whole Belarus, whole Ukraine and a part of Russia.The purpose of it was to turn inhabitants of these countries slaves, exploit them and plunder, all under a pretext of "christianization", this pretext was obviously a lie, as 90% of them were christians of the Eastern rite These lands were weakened by a period of Mongol invasion, from which they were just liberated, but England rulers together with Teutonic Order were bent on putting a new yoke on them. Luckily Poles came to rescue them just in time and voided this scenario.Croniclers estimate the combined forces of Teutonic Order, English invaders and local traitors at 70 thousand of which 40 thousand got killed by Poles and Lithuanians. Wikipedia is deliberately downplaying the scale of invasion, does not mention they 200 ships sailed from England with knights to Bay of Gdańsk and to Konigsberg. During a siege of Wilno a brother of king of Poland got killed, but the castle and fortress got defended. Had them failed there likely be no Poland today, also no Lithuania and no Russia. What made these aggressors mad was prince of Lithuania Władysław married Queen Jadwiga in 1386, which substantially consolidated these two countries strength. After battle of Grunwald 1410, a crushing defeat of western invaders, they dropped for good all plans to put their foot in there, instead 250 years later they started to colonize Muscovy /now Russia/ beginning with 1555. This brutal, undercover colonization, diguised behind many cover ups lasts until now.

I love this scene - polish lanseners were (together with cossacks) the best light cavalry in the world and scared all opponents - worthy heirs to the famed polish hussars, once the best heavy cavalry in the same world. :-)
Polish cavalry (in 18th and mid 19th century )was hands down the best cavalry world has ever seen But gun powder techs like (musket to rifle) artillery ...UK had upper hand
In 1807, Napoleon created the 1st Cavalry Lancer Regiment of the Imperial Guard composed of Polish lancers. These lancers were not part of the troops of the Duchy of Warsaw, but were directly subordinate to the French command. After Napoleon's first fall, some of them voluntarily decided to go into exile with him to the island of Elba, creating the so-called "Squadron of Elba" under the command of Paweł Jerzmanowski. After Napoleon's return to France, the "Squadron of Elba", due to the disbandment of the 1st Regiment, was incorporated into the Dutch 2nd Light Cavalry Lancer Regiment of the Imperial Guard as the last Polish unit fighting alongside Napoleon. On June 18, 1815, during the Battle of Waterloo, the English, in order to stop the attack of the French, threw their elite Guards cavalry units into battle, the 1st "Household" brigade of General Edward Somerset (11 squadrons - a total of 1,319 men) and the 2nd "Union" brigade (9 squadrons - 1332 people) General William Ponsonby. General Somerset's brigade in a destructive charge crashed the French cuirassiers, while General Ponsonby's brigade attacked the 1st French Corps, scattering three divisions one by one and taking about 3,000 prisoners. At this point, Napoleon launched the Polish-Dutch 2nd Regiment of Light Cavalry Lancers of the Guard which swept the British dragoons brigades from the surface. Unfortunately for the Polish lancers, this did not mean victory in the battle. Interestingly, only a few Poles died near Waterloo - Łukasz Biernacki, Jan Nowak, Karol Pawłowski, Ignacy Rużyczko and Sylwester Zeleski, and Paweł Jerzmanowski himself was injured.
The Polish lancers and Napoleon's Polish legion, joined him to rebel against the Polish government, when he was on the March to Warsaw. After they helped him take the city, they marched back into line with the rest of the troops after they set ready for parade, to reorganise after the Battle. They had pledged their loyalty, and it would not waver, just because Warsaw had been liberated. Napoleon never forgot that. During his exile, many went with him, because they refused otherwise. They may have been a slightly rowdy bunch off the battlefield. But Napoleon noted, they would withstand, shelling, musket fire, anything, and then still charge at the enemy and get stuck in. His Polish legion would hold any position they were tasked with and they would have done so to a last man if asked. I should technicaly be biased, as an Irishman, saying that his Irish legion were the best. But not even they pledged such a strong loyalty.
"Polish-Lithuanian light cavalry units armed with lances, sabres and pistols. The Polish uhlans became the model for many general-purpose cavalry units throughout Europe in the early 19th century as use of traditional heavy cavalry declined..." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uhlan
Napoleon just said "Lengyel" ("Polish" in Hungarian) and frightened Brithis started falling from their horses. I loved it! :) Another example of the bravery of Polish soldiers was the battle of Fuengirola in which Poles defeated Brithish forces being outnumbered 10:1!
You edited out how the British heavy cavalry crushed several french regiments, ignored the recall order, then got hit with a counter charge when their horse were completely exhausted.

I do not recall any engagement in the Napoleonic wars where British and Polish cavalry were engaged on the field. There most famous engagement was against the Spanish before they became part of the Imperial Guard. On 30 November 1808 their most famous charge up the Somosierra Pass took place. That day the 3rd Squadron under Kozietulski (ad interim)[39] was on duty as a personal escort to the Emperor. After the failure of the French infantry attack, Napoleon ordered Polish chevaulegers to take the pass defended by 3000 men and four batteries of Spanish cannons. The narrow road to the top (300 meters level difference, 2,500 meters long),
For those who have a doubt : Yes the Polish lancers fought at Waterloo. They were one hundred. The one hundred who followed the emperor during his exile and his return.
I respect that.

@@robertofulton Such things never happened. Do you have any evidence of that charge?
No, it is just a question of fresh horses against exhausted ones. The British army is famous for its bad use of cavalry, cf "the charge of the light brigade" in Crimea.
Polish Lancers, along with their famed light horse, were just about the finest and most fearsome cavalry forces on Earth for close to three centuries (middle 1500's till the Battle of Waterloo).
The best of the best, and those indomitable Polish mounted warriors provided Napoleon with his most determined, loyal, tenacious, most fearless and most die hard troops, those who would rather perish than surrender. Amazing!!
In return, they did not receive the Polish State as Napoleon had promised
@@cezaryfabijanski1074 probably had something to do with the fact that Napoleon lost the war.
@@ScottA2345 Yes and no, Cezary mistook a year 1815 for 1806 when Napoleon won a war against Prussia and took over Berlin, while Waterloo took place nine years after in 1815. In 1806 Napoleon was able to easily recreate Poland after it got robbed and partitioned by Prussia, Russia and Austria in 1795. With support of recreated Poland, the largest country of Europe Napoleon needed to fear no one, but instead he hesitated and decided to create an artificial "Duchy of Warsaw" a small state covering just 1/5 of Poland territory, as a result many Poles backed tsar of Russia Alexander I who was more pro Poland than Napoleon. In 1815 it was too late for Napoleon, he regretted his wrong decision in regard to Poland until his death at St Helena island, he called it greatest error of his lifetime.
@@Lechoslaw8546 He hesitated to create a polish state beacuse he didnt want to risk his alliance with Russia. And as everyone can se it was a big error to trust tsar Alexander and russia. To go the Middle road and create a doutchy of warsaw made no one happy. And as everyone now knows Russia were always going to backstab him in the end. The polish proved Napoleons most steadfast and relayable allies and a polish state as a extra buffer between France and Russia would have made him untouchable.
@@napoleon7107 We can see it in a broader perspective. Contrary to a common knowledge Russia was not a sovereign state, but for a long time an undeclared colony, yes a colony, of The Muscovy company based in London. Russia's rulers dependence of British masters date back to middle XVI century when this country got invaded by series of expeditions originated in London, first in 1555, landing in Archangelsk at the White Sea and infiltraiting into Moscow from the north. They were able so subject Russia's rulers to their power and made them docile puppets, who were murdered by their agents in case of disobedience. This subservience of Russia's rulers to their masters in London dated back from Ivan the Terrible until Stalin and was broken for a short time when Russians elected a Polish king's son Władysław as tsar to their throne in 1610, but lasted only 2 years and failed due to a blunder of his father.
So, Napoleon should have rather help tsar Alexander liberate himself from dependence from the British web that costed his father Paul death being murdered by British agents and later in 1825 the same fate happened to Alexander. Tsar Paul tried to switch dependence from Britain into alliance with France and recreate large Poland allied with Russia and for that he got assasined, five years after Polish king Stanisław Poniatowski got poisoned in St.Petersburg by British/Prussian agents. .

Piszesz o obronie klasztoru przez Hiszpanów. To coś jak hiszpańska Częstochowa a Polacy byli w roli szwedzkich zaborców. To historia prawdziwa. Hiszpanie rzeczywiście bronili swojego klasztoru. Z tą różnicą, że pochowali się tam hiszpańscy rebelianci, którzy dopuszczali się bestialskich zbrodni i tortur na jeńcach wojennych i własnych cywilach, którzy przyjmowali Francuzów z Polakami. O zbrodniczym oddziale Hugo Cortenza nie pisząc. Hiszpanie choć nie wszyscy lubili Polaków, zwłaszcza kobiety. Hiszpanie dopuścili się bestialskich i zwyrodniałych tortur z ludobójstwami zarówno na francuskich jak polskich jeńcach i w całej kampanii. Polacy nie przeżyli specjalnego szoku, doświadczeni ludobójczymi okropieństwami zaborców we własnym kraju. Za to Francuzi doznali szoku psychicznego i od tej pory dobry Hiszpan, to był dla nich martwy Hiszpan. Gdy hiszpańscy bandyci zmasakrowali jak ogry polskich jeńców, Polakom zwyczajnie nerwy puściły i odpowiedzieli pięknym za nadobne. Szczególnie po staropolsku wbijając takich złapanych hiszpańskich rzeźmieszków na pale. zdarzało się, że używali swoich lanc w tym celu. Hiszpanie, gdy zobaczyli i poczuli, że Polacy się nie szczypią i zrobią z nimi to samo, albo i gorzej, co oni z ich jeńcami. Przestraszyli się i zaczęli unikać okrucieństw. Nadali Polakom miano piekielnych jeźdźców. Nic innego jak czysta hipokryzja i naburmuszone widzi mi się. Hiszpanie masakrowali polskich jeńców na śmierć w dantejskich torturach, upokarzając psychicznie. Polacy odpowiedzieli tym samym na tych zwyrodnialców. Wnioski, normalnego cywila nie ruszyli. Przydało by się takie samo zachowanie dziś Polaków wobec anty polskich, zbrodniczych ukraińskich heretyków religijnych nawpuszczanych przez CIA i angielskich zaborców w białych rękawiczkach.

Polish ulhans/lanciers were probably the best light cavalry units in 19th century and even onward in 20th (battle od Komarów). Other nations started to copy them during and after Napoleonic Wars. They fought at Somosierra, Wagram, Albuera, Beresina, Leipzig, Hanau, Wateroo, Stoczek, Grochów, Iganie, Custoza, Rokitna, Krechowce, Kaniów, Warszawa, Komarów, Krasnobród.
After Wellington's generals witnessing the Polish lancers,heroic performance's in Spain and Portugal.The British created a Lancer regiment,even copying the trim on the uniforms.
It is rumoured that the last French bugle sounding at Waterloo,was that of the Polish lancers.Very effective unit.

Napoleon's bodyguard, composed of the Polish cavalry, are descendants of the Winged Hussaria, the best military formation in the 16th-17th centuries. The mercenaries, who signed contracts in the 17th century, promised themselves that they would fight against all but not the Polish hussars. The Battle of Kircholm in 1605 in which the Hussars under the command of Hetman Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, The Battle of Little Cannons, taught at the US West Point Military Academy as an example of a cavalry master maneuver. This battle, together with the 5 years later battle of Kluszyn (1610) and the no less legendary commander, Stanisław Żółkiewski, opened the way for Poland to capture Moscow and settle the Russian King as the Tsar of Russia. Tsar Szujski offered obeisances to the Polish King, and Jan Matejko immortalized it in the famous Polish painting - "Homage from Russia". That is why the Russian tsak hate Poland to this day.

The lack of historical and military knowledge in these comments is shocking, waterloo wasn't British vs French, but a European coalition of the German states, Prussians, dutch and belgians against Napoleon, wellington was given overall command, the charge of the British heavy cavalry union brigade comprising 3 regiments, 1000 men, one regiment had battle experience, the other 2 did not, the charge was to disrupt the main French infantry attack, this it did successfully, mainly because the French didn't train to deploy into squares, 5 French infantry divisions were destroyed, over 4000 casualties and 2000 prisoners and 2 eagles captured, 2 British cavalry regiments started to withdraw but one, the least experienced, tried to continue the attack on the French infantry and artillery positions, this led to them becoming cut off from the rest of the brigade, they were then attacked by Bro's 4th lancers which included one squadron of the polish legion, about 225 men, the Scots greys received heavy casualties but managed to withdraw, the heavy cavalry were able to charge a further 5 times that day, the main French infantry assault was stopped.

Thanks Brother. This was not the first time Poles met British, or rather English on battlefield. During 1390-1393 Poles repelled several invasions from England combined with Teutonic Order. One was led by later king of England Henry the Lancaster. As they were not able to overpower Poland directly, they attacked Lithuania, as a weaker link first, here they met Polish knights and warriors who came to assist Lithuania. In a series of bloody battles England and Teutons lost 40 thousand of their own killed and pulled out emptyhanded.

@@heldercosta515 -Thanks for an interesting remark. Henry IVth the Lancaster shows up as a very immoral person, a criminal and a puppet of London financiers, ready to commit any crime in order to gain the trone. He was involved in arrest and subsequent murder by starvation of his cousin and childhood playmate Richard II, who was a king of England.
He participated in two invasions, by some called crusades, against Lithuania. First in 1390 and second 1392-1394, the second lasted two years. Both of them failed. The true purpose of these crusades were to colonize vast land of Lithuania, then largest country of Europe, as it encompassed present Lithuania, part of Latvia, whole Belarus, whole Ukraine and a part of Russia.The purpose of it was to turn inhabitants of these countries slaves, exploit them and plunder, all under a pretext of "christianization", this pretext was obviously a lie, as 90% of them were christians of the Eastern rite These lands were weakened by a period of Mongol invasion, from which they were just liberated, but England rulers together with Teutonic Order were bent on putting a new yoke on them. Luckily Poles came to rescue them just in time and voided this scenario.Croniclers estimate the combined forces of Teutonic Order, English invaders and local traitors at 70 thousand of which 40 thousand got killed by Poles and Lithuanians. Wikipedia is deliberately downplaying the scale of invasion, does not mention they 200 ships sailed from England with knights to Bay of Gdańsk and to Konigsberg.
During a siege of Wilno a brother of king of Poland got killed, but the castle and fortress got defended. Had them failed there likely be no Poland today, also no Lithuania and no Russia.
What made these aggressors mad was prince of Lithuania Władysław married Queen Jadwiga in 1386, which substantially consolidated these two countries strength.
After battle of Grunwald 1410, a crushing defeat of western invaders, they dropped for good all plans to put their foot in there, instead 250 years later they started to colonize Muscovy /now Russia/ beginning with 1555. This brutal, undercover colonization, diguised behind many cover ups lasts until now.

Another fun fact: All of such battles I know were won by Poles, for example Battle of Fuengirola in Spain, one of the greatest Polish victories of all time.
Geetings and best wishes to all from Poland :D
Fuengirola was a minor success. Learn about medieval history of Poland, we had numerous victories for instance Grunwald/Tannenberg
@@kamilturkiewicz4154 minor in terms of strategy
Very impressive if we look at the numbers of soldiers
Fuengirola is one of the grestest examples of victories of outnumbered Polish soldiers
Yet Wellington won!
@@BartlomiejDmowski TBH Fuengirola was a bloody meme when you take a more distant look at it, don't you agree gentlemen? :D
@@alekjanowski9847 we can look at this this way
Ech polski pościg za herbaciarzami :D !!!!!!!!
piękna sprawa 👍

Polish lancier in the Grand ARMEE
VIVE LA FRANCE ! VIVE LA POLOGNE ! VIVE L'EMPIRE ! 🇫🇷
Mais est que on est connecté Pologne avec France ?
Polish cavalery was always the best cavalery, Its like trying to beat Ronaldo or Messi in football not even knowing the rules of game
Only one cavalry is compatible to Polish, the Hungarian hussars. I'm sure our Polish friends also agree. Greetings from Hungary!
Magnifique ! Amitiés de France 🇨🇵🇵🇱
Widzę POLSKIE PRAWDZIWIE POLSKIE WOJSKO (choćby z wyglądu) i jakże mi miło....uśmiecham się, dziękuję
pozdrawiam siostrę Polkę 🇵🇱
Duma cie rozpiera? Napoleon zdradził Polskę
Great movie by great Sergei Bondarchuk. No computer effects. Live reconstruction
Pierogi has suscesfully defeted tea

Wiwat pierogi i bigos !!! 😀
Polish cavalery was the best in the world. British navie was the best in the world :D Greetings from Poland!
They were good(20-30yrs), not the best. In the west, probably the French cavalry.
hahhahahahahhahahahha Ulhans and befor them Husars dominated a chivalry world ....what mounted formation do french have ...? Fucking cretin.
And the Swedish army was the best on the world.
Yup, best of the best cavalry victories belongs to polish cavalry. Even charge of Light Brigade is just shadow of Somosierra charge.
Joel Hessling no
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!
I love this scene - polish lanseners were (together with cossacks) the best light cavalry in the world and scared all opponents - worthy heirs to the famed polish hussars, once the best heavy cavalry in the same world. :-)
Polish - yes. Cossacks - not. Cossacks were really average if it comes to cavalry.
Husaria była jazdą średnią, nie ciężkozbrojną...
Oh, you didn't see Somossiera charge... it might be beautiful
Did Napoleon actually speak Hungarian?
no this is just a hungarian movie
SzeklerGeneral No, the original is in English. This is just a dub
Napoleon lived 200 years ago. Witnesses of his time are gone. Maybe all the French then spoke Hungarian.
Don't question my comment Even some Germans too
Yes, it is hungarian dub
Polish cavalry (in 18th and mid 19th century )was hands down the best cavalry world has ever seen
But gun powder techs like (musket to rifle) artillery ...UK had upper hand
Polish cavalry was undefeated in the early 17th century in open field by any land army. in 18-19 century they were good but infantry was stronger.
Gloire aux lanciers polonais !
Fidèle parmis les fidèles !
In 1807, Napoleon created the 1st Cavalry Lancer Regiment of the Imperial Guard composed of Polish lancers. These lancers were not part of the troops of the Duchy of Warsaw, but were directly subordinate to the French command. After Napoleon's first fall, some of them voluntarily decided to go into exile with him to the island of Elba, creating the so-called "Squadron of Elba" under the command of Paweł Jerzmanowski. After Napoleon's return to France, the "Squadron of Elba", due to the disbandment of the 1st Regiment, was incorporated into the Dutch 2nd Light Cavalry Lancer Regiment of the Imperial Guard as the last Polish unit fighting alongside Napoleon. On June 18, 1815, during the Battle of Waterloo, the English, in order to stop the attack of the French, threw their elite Guards cavalry units into battle, the 1st "Household" brigade of General Edward Somerset (11 squadrons - a total of 1,319 men) and the 2nd "Union" brigade (9 squadrons - 1332 people) General William Ponsonby. General Somerset's brigade in a destructive charge crashed the French cuirassiers, while General Ponsonby's brigade attacked the 1st French Corps, scattering three divisions one by one and taking about 3,000 prisoners. At this point, Napoleon launched the Polish-Dutch 2nd Regiment of Light Cavalry Lancers of the Guard which swept the British dragoons brigades from the surface. Unfortunately for the Polish lancers, this did not mean victory in the battle. Interestingly, only a few Poles died near Waterloo - Łukasz Biernacki, Jan Nowak, Karol Pawłowski, Ignacy Rużyczko and Sylwester Zeleski, and Paweł Jerzmanowski himself was injured.
Very beautiful images, some of them better than the lord of the Ring's movie.
Wiadomo kto zwycięży od samego początku :)
The Polish lancers and Napoleon's Polish legion, joined him to rebel against the Polish government, when he was on the March to Warsaw. After they helped him take the city, they marched back into line with the rest of the troops after they set ready for parade, to reorganise after the Battle. They had pledged their loyalty, and it would not waver, just because Warsaw had been liberated. Napoleon never forgot that.
During his exile, many went with him, because they refused otherwise. They may have been a slightly rowdy bunch off the battlefield. But Napoleon noted, they would withstand, shelling, musket fire, anything, and then still charge at the enemy and get stuck in.
His Polish legion would hold any position they were tasked with and they would have done so to a last man if asked.
I should technicaly be biased, as an Irishman, saying that his Irish legion were the best. But not even they pledged such a strong loyalty.
Niech żyje Polska!
Polish cavalry win so justice win too :)

When you sing rule britannia but you realise that you are actually fighting on land
British cavalry against actual cavalry.

Napoleon just said "Lengyel" ("Polish" in Hungarian) and frightened Brithis started falling from their horses. I loved it! :) Another example of the bravery of Polish soldiers was the battle of Fuengirola in which Poles defeated Brithish forces being outnumbered 10:1!
What is the title of this film? Original name and English translation?

Yes!
However in the real battle Polish lancers were not part of that counter charge. Napoleon kept them as part of the Imperial Guard.
that i did not know thanks
@@e-4airman124 🙂👍
love poles from turkey
You edited out how the British heavy cavalry crushed several french regiments, ignored the recall order, then got hit with a counter charge when their horse were completely exhausted.
A Corps of the french army capturing 3 imperial Eagles
They also don’t show the Light Division charging or the Household Brigade to help extract the Union Brigade
Or that the Union brigade wasn’t even by this point a cohesive force and had been scattered all over the lower slope

Poland NEVER die
I do not recall any engagement in the Napoleonic wars where British and Polish cavalry were engaged on the field. There most famous engagement was against the Spanish before they became part of the Imperial Guard.
On 30 November 1808 their most famous charge up the Somosierra Pass took place. That day the 3rd Squadron under Kozietulski (ad interim)[39] was on duty as a personal escort to the Emperor. After the failure of the French infantry attack, Napoleon ordered Polish chevaulegers to take the pass defended by 3000 men and four batteries of Spanish cannons. The narrow road to the top (300 meters level difference, 2,500 meters long),
