Slaves part is about Polish soldiers helping Haitians to overthrow the French after Napoleon sent Poles to Haiti to quell the rebellion. However, Poles noticed its not a rebellion but uprising of salves and majority joined the Haitians instead. This is quite significant cause Polish state did not exist at the time and Napoleon was the only chance to return Polish statehood and Poles, despite that, turned on Napoleon.
Obviously this is just some silly meme cause it is not the Poles that started changing all policies across the world and enforced the slavery abolishment, it was the British.
Majority of those Polish legionnaires (including general Jabłonowski) died from tropical diseases, mostly yellow fever. But I couldn't find even one who didn't die from a disease and didn't switch side to Haitians.
Poles took part in Haitian revolution. The one about slavery.
same Kościuszko in USA
Pulaski was Washington main horseman
@@baird5682 nah pulaski was that crooked cop in gta san andreas lol
That's why some Haitan people are blue eyed👀...
9:35 that was probably the short-lived republic of Albazin
It was founded by a Polish -Ukrainian noble Nicefor Czernichowski, who was a prisoner of the Russian Tsar, got exiled to Syberia, but since he had massive balls he took some other cossacks and they ran away to the furthest East where they built their own fortress and basically declared independence. They made official documents in Russian, Chinese and Polish.
About Polish and Haitians - during the Napoleonic time, Poland was an ally of France, fighting together with French (because France was an enemy of Russia, Prussia and Austria, so Poland's enemies responsible for partitions of Poland). However, when in 1802 Napoleon sent some troops of Poles in order to surpress, together with French, the black slaves rebellion in Saint Domingue (Haiti), seeing that these people are fighting for their freedom, Poles didn't want to fight together with French against the Haitians, but many of them joined the Haitians, fighting for their freedom against French. Later, after Haiti gained independence, Poles were allowed by the Haitian leader to stay there and he gave them full Haitian citizenship (no other white people were not honoured by Haitians like that in that times). The descendants of Poles still live in Haiti, for instance in a village called Cazale. They look like Haitians, but they have a lighter skin and often blue eyes.
9:31 *This is the rebellious province of "Harbin", which used to be Russian territory, where the Russians used to transport captured Polish prisoners of war, they liked to transport them there to such an extent that their number increased there to 90% of the population, one of the Polish officers sent there got very angry when the Russians the guards raped his wife, then he killed all the guards and declared independence and joined China, since then Polish is spoken there and it is not something we should be ashamed of, but rather a reason to be proud because the Chinese gained more territory thanks to it and Harbin Province is the most beautiful and peaceful province in China...*

After World War II, when the Allies established the borders, on Stalin's initiative, cities such as Lviv and Königsberg were no longer in Poland. Until 1939, Lviv was an important center of Polish culture for hundreds of years, you can see a lot of folk songs about this city on the Internet, the best football coach in the history of Poland, Mr. Kaźmierz Górski, came from Lviv :) "Lecz skoro się nie da odzyskać własności, niech choć napis głosi - Lwów na zawsze Polski!"
That star wars mem was brilliant
Poles fought in Haiti on the side of blacks against ally France, which supported slavery.
8:15 "Bigos" saved America. Literally. When Mexico attacked the United States, the main problem for the American cavalry was supply. Thanks to the use of "bigos", the American cavalry could operate much longer and farther from the forts, which contributed to the victory.

9:43 this is Jaxa, a country founded by a Polish nobleman, Nicefor Czernichowski, who was exiled to Siberia after the war with Russia. He escaped with other prisoners and lived in fort Albazino (the capital). Together with the local population, they defended against Russian and Chinese colonization from 1665 to 1674/1675, when he died and Jaxa was annexed by Russia.
Common languages:
Polish, Ukrainian, Dagur, Evenki
There was no "ukrainian" language then. It was ruthenian.
@@cetus4449quote from wikipedia: 'By the 16th century, a peculiar official language formed: a mixture of the liturgical standardised language of Old Church Slavonic, Ruthenian and Polish.'
Century before the creation of Jaxa, existed an official language used in Ukraine that was different from Ruthenian.
@@JasD.14 And it still wasn't called "Ukrainian". End of discussion.
@@JasD.14 ukraine didnt exist until like 100 years ago so dont post porpaganda.
@@cetus4449 Yes, but it wasn't Ruthenian either.
I would add that Poland abolish slavary in 1347 (According to Samuel Augustus Mitchell under the Statutes of Casimir the Great issued in Wiślica). Some could argue that popular in next centurys practice of serfdom can be treated like form of slavery. But even then it was abolished in 1791 by our first constitution. Which put us few decades before Great Britain.
That little green speck in the east it is China. It used to be polish dominated Chinese city.
Harbin ?
11:56 The article probably meant that the new year falls on Friday, and religion does not allow eating meat on Friday
Polish Bermuda triangle: Łódź, Radom, Sosnowiec.
It is not funny. It is terrifying. 😂
We have a bermuda rectangle: Łódź, Radom, Sosnowiec, Bydgoszcz
Odczep się od Łodzi.
0:16 As much as I'd like to, I can't smile for a photo. I don't know why. I have like that since childhood.
Poland didn't have traditional slavery it had serfdom, basically slavery for the poorer classes, think medieval Britain, these were permenantly removed on May 1 1793, the first country to do so, (fun fact did you know that a Pole Tadeusz Kościuszko was one of the first people to fight against slavery in his testament he included "all of my money which I have earned here through my actions as a general is to be spent on freeing, housing, wiving 100 slaves" to which George Washington turned it to 100 of his slaves, (good book on Tadeusz Kościuszko in America "The Peasant Prince", also don't believe me look it up)), we do celebrate the freeing of serfs each year on May 3rd among other things
12:28 There were a lot of uprisings in Poland. That one was perfectly prepared and executed. And unlike others, succesful.
The meme is about how inhabitants of Greater Poland learned planning and precision from the Germans, but they did not forget Polish creativity :)
13:16 *It's not true, these cities are not that old because they all suffered greatly from the war and were rebuilt after the war at the expense of the hard work of millions of Poles...*
I could be wrong but the slavery meme may refer to the fact that in Poland slavery officially got abolished in 1347 by Kazimierz the Great in Wiślica (although it survived in some forms till the end of the 14th century)
It was tough but you managed it. My congrats. Poland is not an easy bit.
6:14 Poland now is pink. The American proposal included two major Polish towns, Lwów and Grodno, which are abroad now. It should include Wilno as well. 😉
ale to przecież stolica Litwy
@@icefloati ale w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym należało do nas, a Litwa miała stolicę w Kownie...
@arkadiuszkrasicki5478 - dokładnie tak. W dodatku zarówno Wilno, jak i Lwów były przez wieki tworzone, budowane przez Polaków.
Nie tylko w sensie architektonicznym, ale również, w sensie intelektualnym, również artystycznym.
Może to dlatego ukraińscy terroryści, jak Szuchewycz, obecny bohater Ukraińców, napadali na polskich intelektualistów i ich mordowali w latach 30. XX w.
Szuchewycz, dodajmy, obrzydliwa kanalia, potworny morderca, zwyrodniałec, odpowiedzialny za ludobójstwo Polaków w województwie wołyńskim, lwowskim i nie tylko.
@@arkadiuszkrasicki5478 zawsze mnie bawiły takie roszczenia, że "Lwów nasz!" "Królewiec nasz!", "Grodno, Brześć i inne też nasze!". Ciekawe czy by się zgodzili na przyjęcie tych terenów, wzamian oddając Warmię, Pomorze i Dolny Śląsk Niemcom. Bo zgodnie z tą logiką to są ich tereny.
@@Richus1979 jakbyś chciał wiedzieć to od samego początku były to ziemie polskie które straciliśmy w wyniku rozbiorów, na Pomorzu planowano wybuch powstania do którego nie doszło, a na Śląsku się odbyło tyle że sukces był połowiczny, na Warmii i Mazurach powstanie również planowano tyle że bez wsparcia legionów Piłsudskiego nie było ono możliwe, natomiast w Wielkopolsce powstanie wybuchło i odniosło pełen sukces pomimo braku jakiegokolwiek wsparcia ze strony Warszawy, ja nigdy nie zgodzę się aby oddawać jakiekolwiek ziemie polskie gdzie zawsze mieszkało więcej Polaków niż Niemców, poza tym strona Białoruska i Ukraińska raczej bez walki nie zgodziły by się na taką zamianę granic...
George Lucas knew Polish film director Aleksander Ford and his movie "Knights of the Teutonic Order", also known as "Knights of the Black Cross".
It was inspiration for Lucas to make "Star Wars".
Łódź is pretty much polish Manchester. City that got big during industrial revolution, but after the factories were closed it fell apart
3:33 this 1918 grandpa is basically polish gigachad and one of fathers of independence. Józef Piłsudski
Nie uśmiałam się przy żadnym, więc nie dziwię się reakcji.
9:37 there is Town in Russia was built by Poles.
The green dot next to China was Poland too.
Only if we have a large commemoration (tak myślę), from what I know, our course is soup (mushroom or rosół), second course (meats, pierogi (plural), salads, and poppy seeds (nie pamiętam imię), and then cakes (if any), at least from what I know (big dinners for two rooms was only when my aunt invited the whole family (don't worry rich enough to afford it), and polish families are quite large, so generally a normal christmas dinner but polonized
6:47 i see it is not just in poland .... your reaction is sooo funny
5:55 Blue&red: I do approve.
In regards to summer holidays in former Yugoslavia.. I strongly recommend Dalmatia, Croatia. Islands, not crowded, beautiful and with reasonable prices.
0:50 - I don't know if it's just a different angle, but it seems to me the guy's lips in the right photo are slightly higher, making his expression slightly more cheerful.

In high school, I had such a poor French teacher that the entire class spent 4 years learning perfect French pronunciation: Désolé, je ne parle pas français. This woman didn't teach us anything, she made us learn poems in French by heart... today I know at least 30 people who hate the French language...
1. At the beginning : simple and understable.
2. Middle - started laughing at you that still almost obvious but you dont get it.
3 at the end i started thinking ,,i am turning brit after all or what?"
Lol
haha
If you go back 100 years and tell a Polish person that Poland still exists, but Lviv is not a part of it, you will be ridiculed. That was practically always a Polish city. On the other hand, Gdansk and Silesia (parts of today's Poland where I come from) were German lands. Many people who moved to Western Poland from what is now north-western Ukraine (those who survived), were reluctant to rebuild, as the consensus was at the time that Germans would soon come and retake what was theirs. But as time passed, everybody just got over it. Shame that it cannot happen in Palestine.
Nie przeszło. Do dziś są znaczne różnice w cenie ziemii po różnych stronach przedwojennej granicy.
The history of Silesia was much more diverse. For many centuries the lands were not German. Just to mention the graves of representatives of first Polish royal dynasty, so the Piasts.
" On the other hand, Gdansk and Silesia (parts of today's Poland where I come from) were German lands. " no they werent XDDd they were Polish longer than unificated germany exist, it fall under german colonistaion just some 150 years ago, in no name that make them german it is Polish.
Okay, so not everybody got over it. I never claimed that Silesia was always German. And yes, I know the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth was once big from sea to sea. My point was to let the bygones be bygones. I like European countries not invading each other over some ancient land disputes.

About polish borders befor II WW and after.Most of poles are angry because Poland after II WW is smaller then before, BUT nearly nobody think about what kind of lands ww lost.Most of them was forest, wild animals and thats all.On the west we get lands with roads, railways, see port, access to Odra river , a lot of industry.
If you want to see typical eastern Poland city you can go to Białystok. I recommend for holiday Pojezierze Mazurskie. There's no Zakopane on your list? No way!

memes about Poland in Mexico. We know how bad place on the map we have, it would be easier for us, sell this ground to Russia and Germany, then move out on the desert and start from begin, without neighbors who, every few dozen years, try to reverse our development through war.
it will be faster if you use google translate camera version so you dont need to type at all
Oh one thing I would recomend Karpaty (the Carpathians), even if quickly the views from mountains can take the breath away, plus you get to learn one of Poland's people góraly the highlanders one thing only I just want to warn you that the accent is difficult for poles who lived in Poland their whole lives to understand (there's also the Kaszuby who have their own language) or krzywy las (nothing like that), (as in for generally free attractions), przepraszam nie wiem czy tutaj rekomendacje są pozwolone (I'm sorry I don't know if recomendations are allowed here)
Poland had slaves in early middle ages (of Poland). In that times it was a normal thing.

As a Pole, I find these memes not funny at all ; / why we have such a bad memes ;c
Polish memes mainly based on confusing reciever. Thats why most of them are not funny at first, expectially if dont get the context.

11:49 Complete nonsense. The creator of the meme was probably thinking about Christmas Eve, he said "New Year Eve" instead...
The joke is in Poland on X-mas Eve we don't eat meat or anything from animals (excluding fish). This is way longer tradition than Christianity in Poland. As a result, no one cared about the Pope and we still eat Lent dishes on Christmas Eve.
4:42 *You still have to translate this into English?!, you have watched so many episodes about the Polish language and you still don't know such simple phrases as questions about knowledge of the Polish language?!* 🤣
Well certain words I still cant remember.
@@RobReacts1 *This meme was simply about the cognitive dissonance that someone from Poland can experience when you tell him in Polish that you don't know Polish, then he wonders; But how come you answered this question for me? if you don't know Polish? but it's not funny at all and probably everyone would feel like that...*

For slavery, we didn't have a classic slavery, but the situation of some of peasants was virtually equal to slaves
Brednie i komunistyczna propaganda.
It definitely was not that same. And after all the feudal system was in whole Europe, not onoy in Poland, but in all the countries (in many it was much worse for lower classes than in Poland).
The relationship between the noble manor and the peasantry was complex, multidimensional and paternalistic. It changed in time andvaried depends of specific territories. Feudalism looked different in Royal Prussia and on the Dnieper river region -on Ukraine. There was great wealth diversification eg: in Poland there were nobility without property, whom rich peasants looked at with contempt. Such peasants could employ workers that performed serfdom duties for them. The position of a peasant using land belonging to a nobleman, magnate, church or king (state property) was different. Peasants had their rights and could argue with the nobles at court. A nobleman was sometimes the godfather of peasant children. And you compare it to slavery? Don't be ridiculous!
@@cetus4449 You know, I've seen already such comments at some other channels recently - usually wrote by some Russians. Saying unhistorical lies such that Poland had slaves - trying to make Poland a black sheep of Europe. Which is so completely, totally harmful and true.
@@MayaTheDecemberGirl It's true, Kremlin has been conducting a campaign deforming Polish participation in history for many years. But there are also people in Poland who are brainwashed by leftist propaganda and think that serfdom was slavery, or that Poland colonized Ukraine and other such nonsense.
Half of them not funny or I just do not understand
0:01 *Bob Reacts, I have a question for you, why were so many ridiculing memes made about Poland that you were able to make 9 episodes of them? After all, Poland is neither a large nor a rich country, and yet a lot of bad things are said about Poland, the vast majority of which are not true, and as soon as you try to write about it on UA-cam, censorship will remove your comment, hence this question; Why are you doing this to us? Why are you harassing Poles?!* 🙄
Who is Bob?
@@RobReacts1 *I don't know, Bob is probably an abbreviation of Robert, I wrote that because that's the name of your channel, I don't like the fact that no one from Great Britain can realize that these memes are actually one big political manifesto aimed at Poland, Poland does not has nothing to reproach itself with, Poland has always dreamed of power but its dreams have been prevented, this is not something to laugh at, as a British person you should understand that being romantic is not a reason to be ashamed just because you speak Polish... .*
@@RobReacts1 *Poland wants to be considered a serious country so that Poland's reputation in the international arena is as high as possible, which is why, for example, Poles do not create pornography because it ridicules the entire country and it would be a source of shame for Poles, which is why people who, despite everything, want to appear naked in front of cameras are humiliated, harassed and attacked by other Poles so that they would give up as soon as possible, while on the Internet memes about Poland are being forcefully created as if there was something funny in our country, it is against the Polish national interest and that is why I so fiercely criticize everything that somehow insults or ridicules my homeland...*

Poland did not need slavery, in Poland we had nobility/aristocracy and the peasants who belonged to them. In later times, peasants even became free, but the land on which they farmed belonged to the nobleman and had to be paid to him. The Polish peasant was not a slave, just a poor businessman. He worked 5 days in the nobleman's field to pay the land rent and on the 6th day he could go to the rented field. The 7th day belonged to God and you could not work, unless it was for the church. If you look at it this way, there was no slavery in America, there were only blacks brought from Africa who had to work off the cost of the trip, and since the interest grew quickly, children and grandchildren usually had to work for free to pay off the debt. It all depends on what we call it. In my opinion, slavery existed in Poland practically until 1918, when peasants were enfranchised on noble lands for free. After regaining independence in 1918, the Polish aristocracy lost all legal privileges. They became equal citizens under the law with others. They retained their estates and titles, but these no longer meant anything.
What nonsense. Before you start giving history lessons, maybe you should learn it yourself first.
@@cetus4449Exactly. Being so ignorant about history. Poland wasn't any different than other European countries, with this regard. There was the feudal system and such social layers in the whole Europe. And in fact in many countries it was worse than in Poland with regard to this.
